A Little Photographic Memoir of an Important Edifice May 23, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Gary Leonard had a wise idea back in the days when the Walt Disney Concert Hall was crystallizing from a dream that combined the minds of architect Frank Gehry, Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and acoustician Dr. Minoru Nagata. From the 'breaking ground' photos to the completed 'living room for Los Angeles', Leonard has captured the business of digging, the scaffolding, the unfurling of the stainless steel sails of this floating ship of music along with some intimate shots of people's reactions to all phases.
Now in its third year of use the Disney Concert Hall has lived up to and surpassed its claims as being one of the finest halls for hearing music in the world, competing with the Concertgebouw and the Berlin Philharmonic Hall among others. For those who have had the exhilaration of attending concerts in this magnificent (if a bit physically uncomfortable) hall, this little book is a keepsake. More importantly, for those who have only heard rumors about the grandeur of this edifice, this little book opens the structure for worldwide inspection. Grady Harp, May 05
