Reporting both sides of the culture war between an honored past and radical change, Holland writes about Philip Glass to Verdi, Messiaen to Bach, Peter Sellars to Zeffirelli, and Linda Ronstadt to The Three Tenors. Throughout, Holland changes the discussion from \"will classical music survive?\" to \"what classical music really is\" and, in the process, argues the myth of \"high and low art\". Along the way, the reader chats with Herbert von Karajan, takes a plane trip with Yo-Yo Ma, joins in with the boos at Bayreuth, and walks the slow walk with Robert Wilson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBernard Holland\u003c\/b\u003e is a former music critic for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
