"Monteux's performances were invariably direct, honest, and refreshing. The same could be said of this splendid, long overdue biography."
American Record Guide (March/April 2004)

"Canarina's personal acquaintance with Monteux as both conducting pupil and admirer, and his meticulous research into the facts of Monteux's lineage, life and career, makes him an ideal biographer....this is an extremely valuable biography that significantly expands our knowledge of the life, career and accomplishments of one of the last century's greatest conductors. It is highly likely that Canarina's splendid achievement will remain the reference standard on Pierre Monteux for the foreseeable future."
