Murakami and Ozawa's conversations are a precious deep dive into the world of elite orchestral conducting. The premise is so simple, yet so elegant.  They are listening to world famous recordings and discussing them as they pertain to Ozawa's career as a conductor. Brilliant!

Conversas entre Seiji Ozawa e Haruki Murakami, falando sobre música clássica. Não tinha como eu não gostar, eu acho.

Tem muitos insights sobre como é ser uma pessoa com a vida totalmente imersa em música. Também sobre vários músicos e vários maestros. Terminei o livro gostando ainda mais do Seiji Ozawa! Uma coisa bem interessante é que a conversa passa por vários concertos, dos mais variados compositores, e tem uma playlist no spotify! O livro chama a atenção disso, achei um toque fenomenal!

Any chance you get to listen to a pair of brilliant artists discuss art at-length, take it.

pretty interesting, informed me on a lot of classical stuff I didn’t know. wish they talked longer about jazz, given murakami’s previous work, but understandable given ozawa’s expertise.

Pretty exciting stuff if you are into at least two of: classical music, Murakami, and Ozawa. Probably hard to got too fired up about otherwise.

A wonderful way to explore classical music. I enjoyed the conversational format. It was interesting to “hear” Huraki rather differently than his novels and similarly to hear from Seiji directly - the man behind the music.

This was honestly one of the driest books I have ever read.

I am a music fan, and I am a Murakami fan. Somehow these two combined was just an incredibly dry and boring book.

This was quite possibly the definition of a niche book.

Would only recommend if you eat, breath, and sleep Murakami.

2.5/5
