ABSOLUTELY ON MUSIC

Haruki Murakami and Seiji Ozava

Translated by Jay Rubin

This book, written over two years, records intimate conversations about music and writing between the best-selling author Haruki Murakami and his close friend Seiji Ozava, a former conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The subjects of their discussion range from Brahms to Beethoven, Leonard Bernstein to Glenn Gould, and record collecting to pop-up orchestras.
