In 'Genius and Anxiety,' Norman Lebrecht explores how a group of Jewish men and women transformed the world between the mid-19th and 20th centuries. Through figures such as Marx, Freud, Proust, and Einstein, and other lesser-known but equally influential visionaries, Lebrecht examines their Jewish background and their capacity for original thought. This book analyzes how these individuals managed to see what others could not, despite the restrictions and anti-Semitism of the time, highlighting their contributions to artistic, literary, musical, political, and scientific life.
Norman Lebrecht is a British music journalist best known as the owner of the classical music blog Slipped Disc. His writings have been accused of sensationalism and criticized for their inaccuracies and tendency to gossip, while others have praised them as entertaining. Unlike other writers on music, Lebrecht rarely reviews concerts or recordings, preferring to report on the people and organizations who engage in classical music. He was described by Gilbert Kaplan as "surely the most controversial and arguably the most influential journalist covering classical music".
