About this listen

Extraordinary events described by a man who combined his two passions into one remarkable career. Go on a truly unique ride with Stanley Sperber, the only orchestra conductor in the world who is also an internationally certified tennis umpire, as he describes true incidents from his unusual dual career. These stories include poignant and sometimes hilarious encounters with such famous personalities as Leonard Bernstein, Danny Kaye, Daniel Barenboim, and Zubin Mehta on the musical stage, as well as Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe on the tennis court. You will have a chance to join him as he conducts the London Symphony Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and as he umpires at the US Open and Davis Cup matches.

Honestly, I only wish this book had been longer. The way the story is called is absolutely incredible and genuine. It is funny but also brings forth many touching and beautiful moments. The reading is lovely and I was very impressed by the readers dealing with some of the difficult Hebrew words. I think anyone would find this book fascinating even if they are not a musician or a tennis enthusiast, but as a singer this book has extra value for me. Thank you for an amazing Reed.

Warm, genuine and hilarious
