Talking about music is like dancing about architecture, it's often said, but what joy to watch these two friends dance." * Guardian * "Hardly a soul writes of the listening and playing of music with such insight and tenderness" -- Patti Smith * New York Times Book Review * "Their words tessellate perfectly, forcing the neurons in your brain into a brave new quest for artistic divinity... A book for people transfixed by the minutia of creativity." * Shortlist * "High Fidelity for classical music fans." * Publishers Weekly * "These dialogues...add up to a sprawling feast of Mahler-style "polytonality" - or, alternatively, the sort of protean jam-session that Monk and Parker relished." -- Boyd Tonkin * Arts Desk *
