Barenboim brings a lot more than Said to these conversations: he is often fascinating, although one has to tolerate a lot of self-aggrandizement. Said, however, comes off as neurotically obsequious, and seems to be exhibiting pressure of speech. For a cultural critic of his stature his meandering contributions are surprisingly shallow when they aren't utterly wrong: e.g. he says "There is no real equivalent of the performer in literature," apparently forgetting about the existence of drama--though elsewhere, in the midst of a superficial commentary on Nietzsche, he speaks of the importance of the rehearsal process to tragedy. ( ) This books is the transcript of several discussions with the two authors. The discussions are about music, but wider than music, philosophy of life and music's connection to politics and literature. The text is not edited well; one has to focus intently to keep the flow of information connected while reading. However, the reward is stunning philosophic ideas about music, such as how sound creeps out of silence. Excellent information and ideas. The authors are both experts. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Israeli Daniel Barenboim - director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and of the Berlin State Opera - and Palestinian Edward Said - eminent literary critic and leading expert on the Middle East - have been close friends for years. Parallels and Paradoxes is a series of discussions between the two friends about music, politics, literature and society. Barenboim and Said talk about, among other subjects, the differences between writing prose and music; the compromising politician versus the uncompromising artist; Beethoven as the ultimate sonata composer; Wagner; great teachers; and the power of culture to transcend national differences. Parallels and Paradoxes is an affectionate and impassioned exchange of ideas that is deeply informed, profound and yet completely accessible. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
