This commemorative book celebrates Maestro James Levine's forty years at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. It presents a chronology of Levine's tenure, illustrated with tributes, anecdotes, and short essays by Levine and many of the people he worked with at the Met (mostly singers, but also administrators, musicians, directors, students, et al.) The book is lavishly illustrated with numerous pictures from the various productions described in the text.

Given Levine's long tenure in a leading role at the Met (his titles have included, Principal Conductor, Music Director, and Artistic Director), it was no surprise to see a lot of praise for his musicianship. I particularly appreciated the way the various tributes and anecdotes in this book illustrate Levine's other strengths---his ability to work with and advise singers of all stripes, his sheer joy in the music he creates, his team-oriented approach, his ability to build and maintain a world-class orchestra and chorus, and his efforts to expand the operatic repertoire both with modern works and with less commonly performed historic pieces.

Since I grew up in New York and started attending the Met at about the same time Levine started conducting there, I enjoyed this book tremendously. It was a fun trip down memory lane, as I heard (or heard of) many of the performers who contributed to the book. I also recognized many of the sets and productions in the pictures, either from seeing them live, or from the various Live from the Met telecasts. This book also provided new insights and new appreciation for the magic that has happened at the Met under Levine's leadership.
