'Listen!' In this collection of new essays, the world-renowned
director Peter Brook offers unique and personal insights into sound
and music - from the surprising impact of Broadway musicals on his
famous Midsummer Night's Dream, to the allure of applause, and on
to the ultimate empty space: silence. It is studded throughout with
episodes from the author's own life and career in opera, theatre
and film - including working on many of his most notable
productions, and intimate first-hand accounts of collaborating with
leading figures including Truman Capote, Laurence Olivier and
Vivien Leigh - and ranges across musical styles and cultures from
around the world. Playing by Ear is full of Brook's shafts of
insight and perception, and written with his customary wit and
wisdom. It is a rich companion to his earlier reflections on
Shakespeare in The Quality of Mercy and on language and meaning in
Tip of the Tongue.
