Music Enthusiast Story Amazon Digital Services LLC - KDP Print US

The author writes beautifully and from deep experience: a professional conductor who dares to tell some of the less pleasant truths about the music business through the eyes of a young talented conductor and an older musician who no longer wants to play the game. Both are idealists who have been beaten down by the business' focus on shallow success rather than the high, nearly unattainable peaks of high art to which both strive to reach as artists and as human beings. It brings them, dangerously at first, together in love story of shared values. Ms Karampini's presents them as a modern day Ariadne and Dionysus and these archetypes hover on the surface and in the depths as we read reminding us of the eternal struggle between those seeking truth and those happy to just get by.
