Story0
Simon Critchley first encountered David Bowie in the early '70s, when the singer appeared on Britain's most-watched music show, Top of the Pops. His performance of "Starman" mesmerized Critchley: it was "so sexual, so knowing, so strange". Two days later Critchley's mum bought a copy of the single; she liked both the song and the performer's bright orange hair (she had previously been a hairdresser). The seed of a lifelong love affair was thus planted in the mind of her son, aged 12.

Story0
The life of Franz Schubert has been a gift to romantically inclined biographers: the beautiful, brilliant, modest boy who sprang to fully fledged genius at the age of sixteen; the quintessential ‘artist in a garret’, entirely consumed by his art and living a hand-to-mouth existence in Vienna (home of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven); the gentle, cheerful, convivial young man who prized friendship almost as highly as music itself; the unworldly poet from whom great music poured like water from a fountain; the unrecognized master who died almost penniless at the age of 31.

Suddenly the music is not notes or a tune, but what those seven people are exactly: the music is an aural holograph of the Grateful Dead. All their fibers, nuances, histories, desires, beings are clear. Jerry and his questing, Phil the loyal comrade, Tom drifting beside them both on a cloud, Pig staying stubbornly down to earth; Mickey working out furious complexities trying to understand how Bill is so simple, and Bob succumbing inevitably to Jerry and Phil and joining them.

Da Andrea e Franz Campi, musicisti e artisti della scena bolognese, da sempre appassionati di musica italiana e di teatro. La canzone popolare italiana ha segnato un'epoca, due secoli fatti di versi e musica, dove i protagonisti sono le persone del popolo, prive di qualsivoglia cultura o preparazione accademica, ma dotate di un grande senso del ritmo, della poesia e della musicalità. Dal popolo sono nate "canzonette" ormai simbolo della nostra cultura, come "O Sole mio", "O surdato 'nnammurato", "Mamma" e "Volare".

Con uno stile raffinato e trascinante, Vittorio Sermonti "spiega al popolo" quattordici opere di Verdi, "il più spudorato genio della musica per teatro", dal Nabucco all'Otello, passando per l'Aida, il Rigoletto, il Trovatore e la Traviata. Ci fa riscoprire i celebri melodrammi attraverso il racconto della trama e persino della musica, l'analisi dei personaggi, riferimenti alla vita e alle lettere di Verdi, accenni alle vicende del libretto, notizie sparse sulle prime esecuzioni, annotazioni storiche sull'Italia del Risorgimento e dell'Unità.

One fateful evening, journalist Eric Siblin attended a recital of Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suites and began an epic quest that would unravel three centuries of intrigue, politics, and passion. Winner of the Mavis Gallant Prize for Nonfiction and the McAuslan First Book Prize, The Cello Suites weaves together three dramatic narratives: the disappearance of Bach's manuscript in the 18th century; Pablo Casals's discovery and popularization of the music in Spain in the late-19th century; and Siblin's infatuation with the suites in the present day.
