Björk Guðmundsdóttir, conocida simplemente como Björk, es probablemente la artista islandesa más famosa y más importante de todos los tiempos. Nacida en 1965 en Islandia, fue una niña prodigio que, c

Probablemente, el compositor francés Hector Berlioz desaprobaría la publicación de un libro que tratase sobre su propio sistema filosófico, por el sencillo motivo de que él mismo jamás mostró interés alguno por la filosofia. Berlioz fue un hombre de accion y lo que aqui presentamos como posicionamientos esteticos, para el no era mas que la aplicacion, a traves del sentido comun y de la creencia en la musica expresiva como arte superior, de una defensa radical del arte verdadero. Berlioz no solo es el mejor escritor de entre los compositores de toda epoca, sino que, a partir del presente trabajo, puede ser considerado un filosofo poseedor de un pensamiento concreto en estetica musical y absolutamente digno de pasar a formar parte de los manuales de esta disciplina, junto a Rameau, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel o Wagner.

First published in 1936, Calvocoressis and Abrahams study was the first complete account of its subject to appear in any language, including Russian, and was based on a large amount of original first-hand research. Over 75 years later Masters of Russian Music retains its power - as any study of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakof, Scriabin, Borodin et al really ought to, since these were composers whose extraordinary musical accomplishments still left room in their lives for all manner of other interesting (and sometimes eccentric) activities. The portraits in this volume are scholarly, authoritative, and highly lively - as befitting the eminent talents under discussion.

Sometimes I liken the creative act to that of being a good gardener. The musical material itself, the harmonies, rhythms, the timbres and tempi, are seeds you have planted. Composing, bringing forth the final formal arrangement of these elements, is often a business of watching them grow, knowing when to nourish and water them and when to prune and weed.A book unlike anything ever written by a composer, part memoir and part description of the creative process, Hallelujah Junction is an absorbing journey through the musical landscape of John Adams, one of todays most admired and frequently performed composers. A musician of enormous range and technical command, Adams has built a huge audience worldwide through the immediacy and sincerity of his music, such as his Pulitzer prize-winning memorial for the September 11 attack On The Transmigration of Souls. Hallelujah Junction isnt so much an autobiography as a fascinating journey through the musical landscape of his life and times, centred around the three highly controversial operas based on social and political issues he has written in the past twenty-five years - Nixon in China, The Death of Klinghoffer and, most recently, Dr Atomic.
