Negative Positive
Title: Jerry Springer
Review: This is a terrible book! I could see where the general public, that do not really know the classical music world, would find this book interesting because of all of its references to sex and drugs, but as a successful classical musician for 20 years now, I can tell you as a fact that this is not how a typical classical musician lives their life. Blair Tindell appears to be like the "Jerry Springer" of classical musicians. I mean really, just because a person propositions you for sex does not mean you have to do it ... just say "no". I have never slept with anyone in the classical music world to get ahead (nor have I ever done drugs). Instead of reading about all her sexual encounters, I would rather read about her practicing 8 hours a day to try to win an orchestral job! This book gives classical musicians a bad name and it's very unjustified! I'm sorry that Ms. Tindell has lost her love of music, but I can honestly say that I still love every minute of my music making.
Is the review positive or negative?
