Book Reviews of Me of All People: Alfred Brendel in Conversation With Martin Meyer
Book Review: Everything you want to learn...and more!
Summary: 5 Stars
Numerous books are in print about Horowitz and the like. But there has never been much, aside from recordings, about my favorite pianist, Alfred Brendel. Recently, a two-DVD set was released entitled Alfred Brendel -- in Portrait. It was great, with one DVD dedicated to performance, the other, a biographical special. But the Brendel fan can delve a bit deeper with this book. Brendel speaks of a wide variety of topics, from his views on Balakirev's Islamey and Rachmaninoff to his views on politics and religion. There are some really interesting ideas and quotes interspersed that can be inspirational not only to the player, but also to the individual encountering life experiences each day. I highly recommend.
