Absolutely on Music: Conversations with Seiji Ozawa (Book Review)
[…] to get this story recorded. Ozawa agreed, and thus began the series of conversations that eventually led to the book.The book’s contents include: Introduction: “My Afternoon with Seiji Ozawa” First Conversation: “Mostly on the Beethoven Third Piano Concerto” Interlude 1: “On Manic Record Collectors” Second Conversation: “Brahms at Carnegie Hall” Interlude 2: “The Relationship of Writing to Music” Third Conversation: “What Happened in the 1960s” Interlude 3: “Eugene Ormandy’s Baton” Fourth Conversation: “On the Music of Gustav Mahler” Interlude 4: “From Chicago Blues to Shin’ichi Mori” Fifth Conversation: “The Joys of Opera” / “In a Little Swiss Town” Sixth Conversation: “There’s No Single Way to Teach.

So far as I can tell, it should be physically impossible to play a double bass in the manner that Ms. Sung does. Flying through endless quick series of notes with on the nose intonation along the extended neck with thick strings of this instrument: how in the world does she do that?But, of course, there is more to this two CD set than mere technical brilliance, so […]
