A subtle portrait of one of the worldÂ's great concert artists, this volume offers a vivid presentation of ArrauÂ's unique and intensely felt beliefs about music and piano technique. In addition to conversations with Arrau, the author has included discussions with four of ArrauÂ's renowned musical colleagues: Philip Lorenz, Daniel Barenboim, Garrick Ohlsson, and Sir Colin Davis. The result is an eminently readable portrait of a great artist, presented in an intimate, conversational format. "...a fascinating and valuable book."Â--New York Magazine. 21 photos.
