Preventa de eBooks de Historias de la música

Un recorrido apasionado y entretenido por los grandes musicales de nuestra era en el que descubriremos lo que realmente nos cuentan sobre raza, género, poder y deseo.¿Qué tienen en común Wicked, Cats o West Side Story? Que no solo nos han hecho cantar, sino tambien repensar el mundo (aunque no nos hayamos dado cuenta).Cantar la historia es una historia cultural muy poco convencional: una que se canta, se baila y se analiza con tanta pasion como ironia acida. A traves de nueve musicales que han marcado la historia reciente, Javi Alonso, brillante divulgador y amante del teatro musical, nos invita a un viaje en el que nos mostrara como estas obras reflejan temas como las masculinidades, el racismo, lo queer o la memoria historica. Desde la violencia mal dirigida de West Side Story hasta la catastrofe digital de la pelicula de Cats, pasando por la moral de las protagonistas de Wicked, el autor mezcla analisis cultural, anecdotas personales y un afilado humor para desmontar la idea de que los musicales son solo evasion y fantasia.El resultado es un ensayo pop que reivindica el teatro musical como uno de los grandes narradores de nuestro tiempo. Porque si, a veces la historia se canta, hasta ocho veces por semana en cada teatro.

Its 1977, and punk rock has just hit Liverpool. The legendary Erics club is home to the citys rebels, posers and misfits. Its a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist. The story traces Pennys relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century. Throughout these years, she never stops being a misfit, and the question remains: how do you navigate normal life when punk is dead and you dont know youre autistic? Atypical Girl begins as a coming-of-age story and ends as a midlife reinvention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives.

Embrace the art of listening seasonally with BBC Radio 3 presenter Dr Hannah French as she explores Antonio Vivaldis evergreen work: The Four Seasons.The Four Seasons, Antonio Vivaldis famous set of highly descriptive violin concertos, was published 300 years ago, but the themes it contains continue to reveal new truths to listeners today.Through the rich imagery of each concerto and its accompanying poetry, Dr Hannah French uncovers the detail of Vivaldis personal and creative life. In conversation with fellow musicians and experts in health, nature, food, wine, and science, she helps bring a new perspective to the music through our shared experiences of the joys and fears of the ever-evolving seasons.To spend a year in the company of Vivaldi is to witness the sounds of both ancient festivals and the beauty and brutality of the natural world - a rolling year that enhances our sensory experience of the seasons today.
