These free-wheeling, often exhilarating dialogues—which grew out of the acclaimed Carnegie Hall Talks—are an exchange between two of the most prominent figures in contemporary culture: Daniel Barenboim, internationally renowned conductor and pianist, and Edward W. Said, eminent literary critic and impassioned commentator on the Middle East. Barenboim is an Argentinian-Israeli and Said a Palestinian-American; they are also close friends.As they range across music, literature, and society, they open up many fields of inquiry: the importance of a sense of place; music as a defiance of silence; the legacies of artists from Mozart and Beethoven to Dickens and Adorno; Wagner’s anti-Semitism; and the need for “artistic solutions” to the predicament of the Middle East—something they both witnessed when they brought young Arab and Israeli musicians together. Erudite, intimate, thoughtful and spontaneous, Parallels and Paradoxes is a virtuosic collaboration.From the Trade Paperback edition.

In this eloquent book, Daniel Barenboim draws on his profound and uniquely influential engagement with music to argue for its central importance in our everyday lives. While we may sometimes think of personal, social and political issues as existing independently of each other, Barenboim shows how music teaches that this is impossible. Turning to his intense involvement with Palestine, he examines the transformative power of music in the world, from his own performances of Wagner in Israel and his foundation, with Edward Said, of the internationally acclaimed West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Music Quickens Time reveals how the sheer power and eloquence of music offers us a way to explore and shed light on the way in which we live, and to illuminate and resolve some of the most intractable issues of our time.

La música tiene la extraordinaria cualidad, entre otras, de ayudarnos a configurar nuestra idea del mundo. Por más que los puristas insistan en que lo personal, lo político, lo social y lo artístico no deben mezclarse, Daniel Barenboim recuerda en este inspirador texto que la escucha y el conocimiento de las músicas más variadas indica precisamente lo contrario. Apelando a su inquebrantable compromiso con la paz entre Israel y Palestina, examina el increíble potencial de la música para acercarnos, tender puentes y comprender al otro. «La música despierta el tiempo» revela así el fascinante poder del fenómeno musical no sólo para arrojar luz sobre la condición humana, sino también para dar respuesta a algunos de los mayores retos a los que hacemos frente.«Es el mejor libro sobre música que se ha publicado desde hace años. La categoría intelectual y humana de Daniel Barenboim se percibe en todo el libro y convierte al autor, no sólo en un gigante de la música europea, sino en la persona que mejor ha entendido la dimensión intelectual y espiritual de la música, y, por eso mismo, el papel que podría jugar en la formación de la ciudadanía de cualquier país».Jordi Llovet, El País (Quadern)«El pianista y director de orquesta se rebela contra los que mantienen que no hay que mezclar el arte con lo personal. Su compromiso (incluido el político) guía este libro, en el que el ensayo y la reflexión vienen apoyados por referencias con nombre propio».El Cultural«Estamos ante un conjunto de ensayos y reflexiones ciertamente estimulante. Porque a decir verdad Barenboim no sólo es un genial músico sino que es un pensador audaz, capaz de confrontarse con los grandes interrogantes que han ocupado a los más célebres filósofos desde hace siglos».Alejandor Martínez, Platea Magazine«Original ensayo recopilatorio que se convierte, de manera práctica, en la defensa de un ideario vital y profesional, además de un alegato apasionado a favor de la música, de su poder inmenso sobre el ser humano, tanto a nivel individual como colectivo».Cosme Marina, La Nueva España«Indudablemente, La música despierta el tiempo es un libro necesario para comprender que a través del prisma de la música la vida se vislumbra mejor. Como decía el célebre director de orquesta Leonard Bernstein, ''la música puede dar nombre a lo innombrable y comunicar lo desconocido'' y parece que Barenboim está de acuerdo con esa filosofía de vida».Preslava Boneva, The Objective«La reflexión que predomina en este libro y, en realidad, en todo lo que Barenboim dice, escribe y hace desde hace ya una treintena de años, surge de la capacidad moral y la potencia transformadora de la música, que él está decidido a aplicar al avispero de Oriente Medio».Álvaro Guibert, El Cultural«Al margen de su visión particular de la música, los textos desvelan una visión del arte sonoro no sólo como afirmación, sino también como escuela de la vida».P. J. V., Diario de Sevilla
