Son of the founder of the Book-of-the-Month Club, Scherman was a prodigy who read music before words, studied with Otto Klemperer, and used his personal wealth to create his own half-size orchestra. Though considered a second-rate conductor, Scherman was admired as an explorer of new music and rediscoverer of such forgotten compositions as Berlioz's L 'Enfance du Christ.
