Barenboim brings a lot more than Said to these conversations: he is often fascinating, although one has to tolerate a lot of self-aggrandizement. Said, however, comes off as neurotically obsequious, and seems to be exhibiting pressure of speech. For a cultural critic of his stature his meandering contributions are surprisingly shallow when they aren't utterly wrong: e.g. he says "There is no real equivalent of the performer in literature," apparently forgetting about the existence of show more drama--though elsewhere, in the midst of a superficial commentary on Nietzsche, he speaks of the importance of the rehearsal process to tragedy. show less
An interesting book that goes as much into the author's vision re: the Israel/Palestine situation as it does music. I enjoyed it very much.
An examination of the life-changing potential of music from the viewpoint of one of our generation's greatest musicians, both as a performer and conductor. The reader is delighted by the insights in this collection of essays and learns about the life of a perfect professional musician.
Barenboim's insight and experience with music are brimming across each page. As an immigrant to Israel at age 9, he brings valuable perspective to the Israeli-Palestine hostilities.
