Seiji Ozawa is a legendary Japanese conductor who led the Boston Symphony Orchestra, a student of the cult Munsch, Karayan and Bernstein. His repertoire is very extensive and extends from compositions of the Baroque era to modern music. Haruki Murakami is a celebrated Japanese writer whose books have been translated into 50 languages and are bestsellers worldwide. "Conversations about music with Seiji Ozawa" is a cycle of six conversations between Murakami and Ozawa, whose fame in the world of classical music is comparable to Murakami's popularity in the literary. They are related, among other things, by the fact that both were among the first Japanese to conquer the West. Like Murakami in his day, Ozawa built a career and found success in America and Europe. This is not just a conversation between two famous people, but most of all - a sincere and fascinating conversation between two music lovers who are in love with classical music. There are serious reflections on musical classics, discussions of composers, recordings, conductors and performers, curious facts and just behind-the-scenes stories. Murakami acts here as an amateur, but extremely attentive, respectful, erudite, and this is a wonderful opportunity for his readers to learn about classical music what they wanted at different times, but there was no one to ask. The wall between professional and amateur, creator and consumer is quite high and thick. But this does not at all interfere with an honest and sincere conversation. Listen to great music and read a book by two people in love with it.
