Inside the Recording Studio ─ Working with Callas, Rostropovich, Domingo, and the Classical Elite

In Inside the Recording Studio: Working with Callas, Rostropovich, Domingo, and the Classical Elite, Andry recounts his experiences with these exceptional talents. He presents intimate portraits of brilliant artists juxtaposed with the dramatic changes occurring in the recording business during the transition from 78s to LPs, stereo sound, quadrophonic sound, audiocassettes, video, CDs, DVDs, and MP3s. A foreword by Placido Domingo and more than thirty photos of the artists are included, along with a discography of Peter Andry's recordings with the three labels. These memoirs will fascinate anyone interested in the classical music and recording industries.
