The story of one of the world¿s great philharmonic societies. Established in 1828 with roots stretching back to the 1790s, the Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire reflected the development of French culture, & of Western music, in the 19th & 20th cent. Admired by Wagner, Liszt, & Mendelssohn, the Societe canonized the Beethoven symphonies & popularized Franck & Saint-Saens. When the Armistice came, in 1918, the orchestra was in the midst of a tour of the U.S. Having survived two revolutions & three wars, the Societe was dissolved in 1967, to be reincorp. as the Orchestre de Paris. This book chronicles the life of the Societe, from its day-to-day operations to its role in creating the canon of orchestral concert music in our culture. Illus
