	DVD-Audio Review: Utah Symphony Orchestra (Abravanel) - ‘Brahms: Symphony No.1, Academic Festival Overture’
		Abravanel starts things off promisingly with a spacious yet urgent introduction to the first movement, and when the main allegro starts, it is crisp and even more urgent, not the muddled slog that we so often get these days.
		There are some minor inconsistencies toward the end, where Abravanel is just slightly under tempo at the beginning of the coda, probably because he was attentively holding back the players to keep the accelerando from turning into a muddled rout as it so often becomes in less attentive hands.
		Abravanel’s performance is only slightly longer than that, at 41:13, giving us a taste of this music closer to how it was originally conceived than the modern fifty-minute or longer performances.

	Defender of Liberty
		Abravanel was not content merely to profess his own opinions on the subject; as a learned Jewish scholar, he was determined to prove that the Bible itself advocated a democratic republican model.
		In fact, Abravanel's interpretation of the Torah's council structure was more democratic than the ones that existed in Venice, since his were all to be elected by popular vote, whereas in Venice, the highest consiglio was comprised of hereditary aristocrats, who had the prerogative of appointing the members of the lower bodies.
		Abravanel read the text of Deuteronomy 16:18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates as a directive to the rank and file of the Hebrew tribes to choose their own judges, at least for the lower courts, thereby removing the king entirely from the process.

	Adventure and Research in the Rainforest. . - Book Corner - The Last Sorcerer: Echoes of the Rainforest - book review ...
		Abravanel is a worthy alter ego -- an idealist who cares deeply about the natural world, and pays his own way to the Amazonian rainforest, where he meets an array of ethnobotanists, entomologists, ornithologists -- all there to collect specimens before they are lost to the onslaught of modern logging machines.
		The protagonist's meeting with the local, and initially hostile Shaman is auspicious; Abravanel's sincere pursuit of knowledge of the jungle's flora and fauna meets with the Shaman's approval and subsequently, he takes Abravanel as his apprentice, and the reader is introduced to the exotic hallucinagenics of the rainforest, used in the rituals.
		When Abravanel returns to his home in Montana several months later, he goes to visit his old friend, a Blackfoot Elder, who tells him that the reason he now feels sad and "perhaps incomplete," is because his spirit had been wounded.

	MAHLER Symphony No 1 Abravanel SILVERLINE 288238-9 [PSh]: Classical DVD-Audio Reviews- July 2004 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		They were conservative conductors in that they were not flamboyant or showy, but they were nonetheless skilled craftsmen, and their recordings are still attracting interest when some of their more sensational contemporaries are no longer heard of.
		It expresses well the charming orchestral argument at the finale of the first movement, but eschews the ironic and bitter, almost satirical, frenzy, found in the last movement, which is best expressed in the ancient but still venerable Mitropoulos performance from 1941.
		I believe that this was originally a two (or maybe three) channel stereo recording and that the surround sound is derived in the laboratory, but it is better done than usual and you may prefer it, or you may prefer to play back the two channel tracks through your surround sound decoder.

	Review of Alfredo Fabio Borodowski, Isaac Abravanel on Miracles, Creation, Prophecy and Evil
		Abravanel, who does view miracles as sharing in the essential nature of the original creation, rejects their predetermined nature, seeing contingency as an essential attribute of miracles.
		For Abravanel, Borodowski concludes, “Moses’ superiority with respect to miracles belongs to a type logically and causally independent from his superiority in prophecy.… [It] is the logical result of the historical circumstances in combination with prophetic readiness” (206).
		I cannot speak for specialists in the field, but I found his conclusions plausible: 1 Abravanel wrote his exegesis for the philosophically informed reader; 2 in the Middle Ages, philosophy and exegesis were inseparable; 3 “the usual view of Abravanel as an unoriginal exegete whose contribution is limited to the politico-historical arena is untenable” (217).

		After twenty-two chapters of sustained and zealous defence of Maimonides, however, Abravanel seems to contradict himself and argues at the end of his book that in fact Judaism has no dogmas whatsoever, since all its beliefs are equally valid, fundamental, and precious.
		This is the first complete English translation of Abravanel's classic work, and includes a comprehensive introduction and notes.
