Through his camera lens, Brian Large (born 1937) immortalized historical performances of the most renowned singers, dancers and musicians of the past half-century, bringing the magic of live presentations into the homes of millions. In this engaging bildungsroman, Large recounts his career with wisdom, warmth and wit, presenting intimate and revelatory glimpses of an astounding cast of characters featuring Luciano Pavarotti, Mirella Freni, Pl???cido Domingo, Leonard Bernstein, Marilyn Horne, Igor Stravinsky, Leontyne Price, Carlos Kleiber, Birgit Nilsson, Georg Solti, Cecilia Bartoli, Benjamin Britten, Queen Elizabeth II and Frank Zappa. Originally a concert pianist, Large switched careers, joined BBCTV2 at its founding and continued to push the boundaries of what television could achieve by capturing the immediacy and emotion of the moment for viewers everywhere. His groundbreaking work includes award-winning productions such as the Centenary Ring at Bayreuth, the original Three Tenors from the Baths of Caracalla, the live broadcast of Tosca from Rome's historic sites and two decades of directing the Vienna Philharmonic's beloved New Year's Concerts.
