"Shoot the Conductor - Too Close to Monteux, Szell and Ormandy" by Ansell Brusllow - who was assistant concertmaster for Szell and then concertmaster for Ormandy before taking up a conducting career himself. Published this June. I am sure that most of you who ordered Szell book discussed below from Amazon got an email from Amazon notifying you of this book. Looks interesting.
