Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Music is real only when it is carried by the flesh and blood of performance. Ideas stay pale when they lie flat on the printed page. Wherever we open this book, Daniel Barenboim and Edward Said seem to rise up before us, thoughtful and passionate, bringing a music to their theories and a living presence to their questions.”
—Peter Brook
