Alex Ross's sweeping history of twentieth-century classical music,
winner of the Guardian First Book Award, is a gripping account of a
musical revolution. The landscape of twentieth-century classical
music is a wild one: this was a period in which music fragmented
into apparently divergent strands, each influenced by its own
composers, performers and musical innovations. In this
comprehensive tour, Alex Ross, music critic for the 'New Yorker',
explores the people and places that shaped musical development:
Adams to Zweig, Brahms to Bjoerk, pre-First World War Vienna to
'Nixon in China'. Above all, this unique portrait of an exceptional
era weaves together art, politics and cultural history to show how
twentieth-century classical music was both a symptom and a source
of immense social change. This edition includes a definitive list
of the greatest recordings of twentieth-century music.
