Description
Excerpt from Teaching Music at Stanford, 1949-1974, Directing the Carmel Bach Festival and the Marin Symphony, 1956-1991
Salgo, on the other hand, brought all of the musicianly qualities to the table without that emotional baggage. This is evident in the style of his recollections in this oral history. Notably absent are recriminations or criticisms of persons, institutions and situations, although if the reader is familiar with this history, it would take little imagining to project the disappointment, anger or frustration Salgo must have felt at one point or another in his illustrious career. No conductor''s career, regardless of its success and flourish, can possibly escape such experiences. A conductor, after all, is continually dealing with musicians of all types, stripes, tempers and abilities, with board members and wealthy patrons of limited musical awareness and still narrower vision, with faculty colleagues and superiors of varying degrees of sympathy and understanding, each with a separate agenda in the political arena of academia. All those whom the conductor must deal with and be dependent upon present him with separate egos that need to be recognized if not satisfied.
