The Rest is Noise

The scandal over modern music has not died--while paintings by Picasso and Pollock sell for millions of dollars, works from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring onward still send ripples of unease through audiences. Yet the influence of modern music can be felt everywhere. Avant-garde sounds populate the soundtracks of Hollywood thrillers. Minimalist music has had a huge effect on rock, pop, and dance music from the Velvet Underground onward. Music critic Alex Ross shines a bright light on this secret world, taking us from Vienna before the First World War to Paris in the twenties, from Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia to New York in the sixties and seventies. We follow the rise of mass culture and mass politics, of new technologies, of hot and cold wars, of experiments, revolutions, and riots. The end result is not so much a history of twentieth-century music as a history of the twentieth century through its music.--From publisher description.

  • "Esta es la historia del siglo XX a través de su música, desde la Viena de antes de la Primera Guerra Mundial hasta el París de los años 20; desde la Alemania de Hitler o la Rusia de Stalin al Nueva York de los años 60. Transportando a los lectores por el laberinto del sonido moderno, Alex Ross nos descubre las conexiones entre los acontecimientos más importantes y los compositores más infl uyentes, hombres que se rebelaron contra el culto al pasado clásico, lucharon contra la indiferencia del gran público y desafi aron a dictadores.Alex Ross ha fi rmado un libro imprescindible sobre un tiempo fascinante, caótico y estridente. El ruido eterno ha sido galardonado con el National Book Critics Circle Award, el Guardian First Book Award y un Royal Philharmonic Society Award; ha sido finalista del Premio Pulitzer y del Premio Samuel Johnson, y ha sido elegido como uno de los mejores libros del año por The New York Times."@es

  • "Une histoire du XXe siècle et de sa musique, au fil des guerres, des révolutions et des conservatismes, de l'élitisme à l'avènement de la culture de masse."
  • "A sweeping musical history that goes from the salons of pre-war Vienna to Velvet Underground shows in the sixties. In The Rest is Noise, Alex Ross, music critic of the New Yorker, gives us a riveting tour of the wild landscape of twentieth-century classical music: portraits of individuals, cultures, and nations reveal the predicament of the composer in a noisy, chaotic century."
