An intimate conversation about music and writing illuminates the perspectives and shared interests of the internationally acclaimed author of "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage" and his close friend, the former conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Internationally acclaimed, best-selling author Haruki Murakami sits down with his friend Seiji Ozawa, the former conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, for a series of conversations on their shared passion: music. Over the course of two years, Murakami and Ozawa discuss everything from Brahms to Beethoven, from Leonard Bernstein to Glenn Gould, from Bartok to Mahler, and from popup orchestras to opera. They listen to and dissect recordings of some of their favorite performances, and Murakami questions Ozawa about his career conducting orchestras around the world. Culminating in Murakami's ten-day visit to the banks of Lake Geneva to observe Ozawa's retreat for young musicians, the book is interspersed with ruminations on record collecting, jazz clubs, orchestra halls, film scores, and much more. A deep reflection on the essential nature of both music and writing, this book is an unprecedented glimpse into the minds of two maestros.--F rom dust jacket.… (meer)

This book opened new worlds of music enjoyment for me. I thought I was a pretty serious listener to classical music, but hearing how these two guys talk about music made me realize I'm in elevator music mode most of the time.

Ozawa, of course, I expected to be much deeper than I could hope to understand. But Murakami is a non-musician and so intelligent and studious a listener that he contributes as much to the conversation (and probably more to my level of understanding) than the conductor does. And conversations is the right title: it's not an interview. Each of the two says things that make the other think about music in a new way.

Each chapter is a study in depth of a different topic, usually with references to specific performances and recordings. A particular piano concerto, Mahler, a music training/festival for young string players. The big chapters are separated by smaller, lighter conversations. Very readable throughout, though I needed to pause for a day or so between chapters to let what I had read sink in. ( )

This book took me quite a while to complete. I decided to find some of the specific music pieces they discussed on YouTube, and listened to them simultaneously. I really came to appreciate the conversations and music on a deeper level. Enjoyed my experience with this book. ( )

nonfiction - interviews with famous conductor, translated from Japanese.

I got through the intro chapter ok but wasn't doing so well with the transcripted conversations--harder to follow what they're talking about if you literally can't hear the music that they're talking about. But perhaps it would have grown on me if I'd read past page 15. ( )

A fan, knowledgeable about an art form in the way that only obsessive fans are, in conversation with a master practitioner of the art in question — that’s what Haruki Murakami and conductor Seiji Ozawa have given us in “Absolutely on Music,” a series of transcribed conversations between the two artists.
