In this unpublished collection of texts and interviews, the great Austrian conductor returns to some of his favorite themes: the importance of rhetoric in music, interpretation on ancient instruments, the question of progress in art , transcendence, and many more.
For the first time, it also evokes Mozart and Schubert, through Beethoven. And romantic music, Schumann, Brahms, Bruckner, Bizet or Verdi. Always with a luminous intelligence and a very stimulating way to upset the received ideas.
