Conversations about Music with Seiji Ozawa
14.99 €
Haruki Murakami is true to himself. He does what he likes to do, and in the way he thinks it should be done.
"Here, too, these conversations are an interesting experience. Our conversation was not an interview in the conventional sense. Nor was it the proverbial conversation between two celebrities. I wanted - or rather, irresistibly wanted during the conversation - to talk in the natural rhythm of my heart. ... The main thing is that as Maestro Ozawa opened up in the conversation, I myself opened up in unison. In the end, it turned out that they are two like-minded people with the same life vector. Firstly, they both experience "pure unadulterated joy in their work". Second, they have a rebellious spirit and a perpetual dissatisfaction with what they have achieved - the same as in their younger years. Thirdly, they are distinguished by "persistence, rigidity and stubbornness" - to fulfill the planned only as they see it, no matter what anyone tells them. Most importantly, Haruki Murakami and Seiji Ozawa truly love music. They share their knowledge, discover new interesting facts, give us a deeper look into this beautiful world of sounds that fills the heart with joy. "Good music is like love, you can never have too much of it. ...For many people in the world, it is the most precious fuel that fuels their will to live."
