Murakami's knowledge of classical music is masterly, and he brings a nerdy scholarliness as well as a fanboy's enthusiasm. This was fascinating, reading a conversation between two passionate professionals who just so happen to love music.

Part interview, Part biography. This conversation between Murakami and Ozawa is a must for any classical music fan.
The conversations offer an interesting insight into the technicalities of playing classical that could only come from someone as experienced as Ozawa.
I'd recommend listening to a playlist whilst reading this of the pieces discussed throughout.

There is a pre-made playlist on Spotify with recordings that is very helpful - especially Glen Gould playing the Brahms Piano Concerto #1 with the introduction by Bernstein. I never knew that story. I enjoyed the parts discussing specific performances. The discussions in abstract about different orchestras was less interesting. I'm guessing this book has every niche audience.
