violinist01 's review for:
The Ensemble
by Aja Gabel
I have to say, the music content in this was on point. Everything from the repertoire choices to the Esterhazy competition made the story so realistic and I really appreciated that. However, I found the characters so distasteful. They had zero self control, spent their time when they weren't playing music sleeping around and drinking. Some of the parts added to the realism of the story- sleeping with students or judges of competitions- I know that this happens in the music world, but the rest of their lives seemed overdone, and it didn't make me like their characters at all. I wish the story focused more on the music and less on drunken sex...
