Daniel Barenboim

Opis

Daniel Barenboim's book vividly describes his lifelong pursuit of knowledge and understanding, not only of music and of life, but of one through the other. The topics covered range from the problems of timing to the philosophy of Spinoza and its relevance to musical interpretation.

Recenzje

Barenboim's book is at its best when he explains the unique status of music. He describes brilliantly how it works and the way in which its intricacies and logic justify his faith that everything is connected...It establishes him as the most pure-hearted and, therefore, anguished advocate of the lasting importance of art.
