Norman Lebrecht (born 11 July 1948 in London) is a British commentator on music and cultural affairs and a novelist. He was a columnist for The Daily Telegraph from 1994 until 2002 and assistant editor of the Evening Standard from 2002 until 2009. On BBC Radio 3, he has presented lebrecht.live from 2000 and The Lebrecht Interview from 2006.

He has written twelve books about music, which have been translated into 17 languages. Coming up in 2010 is Why Mahler?, a new interpretation of the most influential composer of modern times. See Books for more details. Also coming back in print is Mahler Remembered (Faber, 1987).

Norman Lebrecht's first novel The Song of Names won a Whitbread Award in 2003. His second, The Game of Opposites, was published in the US by Pantheon Books. A third is in preparation.

A collection of Lebrecht columns will be published this year in China, the first such anthology by any western cultural writer. A Lebrecht conversation appears monthly in The Strad, magazine of the strings professions.

The Lebrecht Interview will return in July 2010 on BBC Radio 3 and there will be further editions of The Record Doctor in New York on WNYC.

A year-long series of events, titled Why Mahler?, will open on London's South Bank in September 2010, curated by Norman Lebrecht.

Other works in progress include a stage play and various radio and television documentaries.

No passado sempre houve aquele ódio à religião judaica, aos judeus, mas sinceramente só tenho de admirar por estas pessoas pela sua inteligência, desafiar o governo/sociedade, ultrapassando grandes desafios pela frente. Basicamente arriscaram as próprias vidas para contribuir algo para a sociedade, que graças a essas celebridades como: Albert Einstein, Levi Strauss, Freud, Rothschild, Haber etc que o mundo está mais desenvolvido.

Vale a pena ler o livro, para quem quer saber mais sobre como a religião judaica influenciou a sociedade e no mundo e o porquê o ódio aos judeus que foi progredindo ao longo dos anos.

Foram em tempos apenas 0,25% da população mundial, o povo mal amado que marca a humanidade de forma profunda, e não me refiro à razão mais óbvia e religiosa. As várias personagens históricas deste povo surpreendem-nos pela tamanha inteligência, mas também pela ambiguidade interna de ser ou não ser, ou melhor de se assumir ou não assumir, como Judeu.
Estou a amar! Que mais não seja pela passagem do meu pai por este país onde privou com estas pessoas, que não são mais do que isso, de pessoas, que tanto admirava e onde ministrou a sua tese em tabaco enquanto regente agrícola.

The book is great, I gave 4 stars because he totally forgot one big man, not Jewish, Portuguese, who saved thousand and thousand of life’s by the WW2, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, Portuguese consul in Bordeaux.
