Vikram Seth's novelAn Equal Musicis as evocative a portrait of the world of chamber music ... more
as you could wish for, but Seth is the first to
say that words "can only attempt to describe what
cannot truly be described". This two-CD set adds
the inevitably missing dimension to a great book,
with performances of works which feature in the
story. They include the world-premiere recording
of Beethoven's String Quintet in C minor, an
obscure work which is central to the plot.This,
like the rest of the selection, is beautifully
played and recorded, for this is not a collection
of second-rate recordings cobbled together to suit
the theme. Vikram Seth himself has chosen the
performances and, with performers of the stature
of Iona Brown and Andras Schiff, the playing is as
good as it gets. Included in the selection is
Schubert's celebrated "Trout" Quintet.If the book
gives a taste for the music and vice versa, these
CDs will also get us delving further into this
delightful and infectious repertoire. --Keith
Clarke

A String Quartet + Rekindled Love = An Equal Music
Review of An Equal Music - Vikram Seth by  MAFARRIMOND

Advantages: The writing, the setting, the music
Disadvantages: The characters are not sow ell defined or likable

...I bought this book, An Equal Music by Vikram Seth, for the grand sum of one penny on the basis of a review written by Floon. I was enchanted by his description of the storyline and the author?s writing style. I was not disappointed. The author, Vikram Seth states, in an author?s note located on the last page of the book, that, ?Music to me is dearer even than speech?. To convey this, he focuses his novel on the world of music and its performance. The central character, Michael Holme, is the second violinist in a London-based string quartet. His life has settled somewhat into a rut. He plays his violin; teaches the violin; makes love to one of his students, Virginie; rings his father; all as a matter of routine. His comfortable lifestyle is suddenly disturbed by a series of events each connected and occurring in parallel... Read review
