La historia ha sido particularmente mendaz con el compositor Gioachino Rossini. La imagen de un compositor dotado pero perezoso, emotivo pero despreocupado, pronto a la replica rápida y chistosa, con una aficion desmedida a la buena mesa y a las libaciones, responde a una popularidad muy mal conocida que lo presenta como protagonista de una serie de anecdotas, normalmente apocrifas. Stendhal, autor de una copiosa y fascinante biografia suya, salpicada de numerosos errores y otras tantas imprecisiones, llamo a Rossini "el Napoleon de la opera". Cuando se cumplen los 150 años de su fallecimiento, el ensayista y critico musical Fernando Fraga –autor de los libros Simplemente divas y Maria Callas, el adios a la diva– rinde un especial homenaje al genial mºsico de Pesaro, en unas paginas que rastrean las mºltiples facetas de la singular relacion que Rossini tuvo con España. Aunque viajo a Madrid nada mas que en una ocasion, gracias a esa visita compondria una de sus obras religiosas mas impresionantes: el Stabat Mater.

Patchett, Ross, and Meacham in his introduction, at once capture both the city's iconic historical side-its deep, rich Southern roots, from its food and festivals to its famous venues, recording studios, and style-and its edgier, highly vibrant creative side, which has made it a modern cultural mecca increasingly populated by established and upcoming artists in art, film, and music. Nashville celebrates Nashvillians' beloved locales and events, both established and new, that are the heart of the city's character including: Bobbie's Dairy Dip Broadway Cumberland River Buchanan Arts District Bolton's Chicken and Fish Dino's East Nashville Tomato Arts Festival Germantown The Gulch Grand Ole Opry Pie Town (SoBro) Pride Festival Prince's Hot Chicken Schermerhorn Symphony Center Stanley Cup Playoffs Tennessee Performing Arts Center Tennessee State Fair Third Man Records WXNA Independent Radio Here, too, are engaging vignettes spotlighting the diverse talent that makes the Tennessee city a significant cultural incubator and influencer, including singer-songwriters Marty Stuart, Gillian Welch, and Dave Rawlings; film director Harmony Korine, textile designer Andra Eggleston, country music fashion designer to the stars Manuel, chef Margot McCormack, acclaimed pastry chef Lisa Donovan, and model and musician Karen Elson.

A GUARDIAN AND INDEPENDENT BEST MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR `At last an expert classicist gets to grips with Bob Dylan' Mary Beard `Thomas's elegant, charming book offers something for everyone - not just the super-fans' Independent When the Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Bob Dylan, the literary world was up in arms. How could the world's most prestigious book prize be awarded to a famously cantankerous singer-songwriter in his Seventies, who wouldn't even deign to make an acceptance speech? In Why Dylan Matters, Harvard Professor Richard F. Thomas answers that question with magisterial erudition. A world expert on Classical poetry, Thomas was initially ridiculed by his colleagues for teaching a course on Bob Dylan alongside his traditional seminars on Homer, Virgil and Ovid. Dylan's Nobel prize win brought him vindication. This witty, personal volume is a distillation of Thomas's famous course, and makes a compelling case for moving Dylan out of the rock n' roll Hall of Fame and into the pantheon of Classical poets. You'll never think about Bob Dylan in the same way again.

'I can't help that my music shows who I am in this moment, what I'm drawn to, what I'm wondering about. I don't want to help it. What you hear in the words, what you feel in those songs - that's what I was feeling when I wrote them. I want you to see me, just like I want to see you.' - Justin Timberlake In his first book, Justin Timberlake creates a characteristically dynamic experience, one that combines intimate reflections and observations on his life and work, with hundreds of candid photographs from his personal archives. He looks back on his childhood and his very early love of music, and reveals the inspiration behind many of his songs and albums. He explores his internal songwriting process, and his collaborations with other artists and directors. He also reflects on who he is, examining what makes him tick, speaking candidly about fatherhood, family, close relationships, struggles, and his search to find an inner calm and strength. This is the Prince of Pop as you've never seen him before.

This book is the result: a never-before-seen photographic portrait of a year with Bowie, from the theatre of performance to his most unguarded moments. Introduced by O'Regan and with every single image personally approved by Bowie, this is an intimate view of an icon at the height of his fame.

Si el blues es la madre de casi todas las canciones que suenan por la radio, los Stones son, hoy por hoy el padre, de todos esos artistas; un grupo de música que lleva presente directa o indirectamente en la vida de medio mundo. Historia, discografía y sus referentes blues, son precisamente los tres pilares que reciben la carga de esta guía con el fin de transmitirla al terreno de la comprensión: una puerta de entrada a los Stones en agradecimiento al grupo que, sin pretenderlo, cambió por completo la música del siglo xx. Son sin duda un referente ineludible de la cultura popular. En su génesis, Mick adoptó el rol de cantante principal, y Keith su amigo en la sombra con quien había compartido parte de su infancia. Jagger y Richards, o lo que es lo mismo, el alma del grupo, nunca fueron realmente amigos, sino dos personas decididas a permanecer juntas en busca de un objetivo común: sentarse en el trono del R&B. A partir de ahí, con su música como punto de partida trataron de encontrar su propia voz.

Desde el encuentro con sus compañeros Brian May y Roger Taylor y la formacion de Queen, al exito planetario con la creacion de Bohemian Rhapsody.
