The nine -- which cover a technical and emotional range unmatched by the work of any other composer -- are the bedrock of the conductor's art, and rare is the maestro who has not committed the cycle to disk at least once.

One day after he lost his job, he swallowed scores of sleeping pills, pain-killers and rat poison. He survived. He returned to the S.A.D.F. to finish his service and was injured in 1983 while on guard duty...
