具體描述
A deeply personal, intimate conversation about music and writing between the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author and his close friend, the former conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Haruki Murakami’s passion for music runs deep. Before turning his hand to writing, he ran a jazz club in Tokyo, and from The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” to Franz Liszt’s “Years of Pilgrimage,” the aesthetic and emotional power of music permeates every one of his much-loved books. Now, in Absolutely on Music, Murakami fulfills a personal dream, sitting down with his friend, acclaimed conductor Seiji Ozawa, to talk, over a period of two years, about their shared interest. Transcribed from lengthy conversations about the nature of music and writing, here they discuss everything from Brahms to Beethoven, from Leonard Bernstein to Glenn Gould, from record collecting to pop-up orchestras, and much more. Ultimately this book gives readers an unprecedented glimpse into the minds of the two maestros.
It is essential reading for book and music lovers everywhere.

##閱讀村上這本書給我的快樂無與倫比！今天開始看，一口氣看瞭78頁。有中文版《與小澤徵爾共度的午後音樂時光》。如果我翻譯，會譯成音樂的純粹，或者音樂的極緻，體現齣absolutely。書裏村上說瞭一句話：Like love, there can never be too much ‘good music.” 在我看這就是極緻。村上的音樂造詣令人嘆服，小澤的個性即藝術傢又和藹。這本書我是這樣讀的：邊讀邊做筆記（電子書方便），電腦同時開兩個YouTube窗口，一個放伯恩斯坦指揮，格蘭古德演奏的勃拉姆斯鋼琴協奏麯1號，一個放卡拉揚指揮，古德演奏的貝多芬鋼琴協奏麯No 3 C major，因為村上和小澤用瞭大量篇幅談論這兩場演齣。邊讀邊聽是這本書最好的閱讀方式。我寫過關於古德的日記，大愛他。去看書吧！
評分第一部分尤其好看。兩人坐在村上傢中，聽著春樹收藏的老碟，聊到Gould、Lenny、Karajan。

評分##音樂票友和指揮的尬聊，完全雞同鴨講，不在一個世界。感覺小澤徵爾還是性格好，敷衍得很用力。另外這種錄音整理的內容（連小澤喝茶的時候問桌上放的是糖嗎都要記在對話中）為什麼要寫成書？
評分##這本大概是永遠也讀不完瞭。挺難定位的。交響入門指南。
評分##a lot of rambling and flattering...
