'His passion for centuries of music – both celebrated and obscure – is infectious' -Irish Independent. Further DetailsTitle: A Sound Mind Condition: New Description: 'Exhilarating' - Sunday Times 'Funny and moving' - Jarvis CockerMusic critic and writer Paul Morley weaves together memoir and history in a spiralling tale that establishes classical music as the most rebellious genre of all. Paul Morley had stopped being surprised by modern pop music and found himself retreating into the sounds of artists he loved when, as an emerging music journalist in the 70s, he wrote for NME . But not wishing to give in to dreary nostalgia, endlessly circling back to the bands he wrote about in the past, he went searching for something new, rare and wondrous – and found it in classical music. A soaring polemic, a grumpy reflection on modern rock, and a fan’s love note, A Sound Mind rejects the idea that classical music is establishment; old; a drag. Instead, the book reveals this genre to be the most exciting and varied in music. A Sound Mind is a multi-layered memoir of Morley’s shifting musical tastes, but it is also a compelling history of classical music that reveals the genre’s rich and often deviant past – and, hopefully, future. Like a conductor, Morley weaves together timelines and timeframes in an orchestral narrative that declares the transformative and resilient power of classical music from Bach to Shostakovich, Brahms to Birtwistle, Mozart to Cage, travelling from eighteenth century salons to the modern age of Spotify.'His passion for centuries of music – both celebrated and obscure – is infectious' - Irish Independent Author: Paul Morley EAN: 9781408868782 Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781408868782 Item Height: 198mm Item Length: 129mm Language: English ISBN-10: 1408868784 Genre: Music Dance & Theatre Item Weight: 502g Item Width: 40mm Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Release Date: 10/14/2021 Subtitle: How I Fell in Love with Classical Music (and Decided to Rewrite its Entire History) Release Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
