Richard Wagner er en af de mest legendariske skikkelser inden for klassisk musik og var allerede i sin levetid og så sandelig også i tiden efter stormombrust og kontroversiel. Både hans privatliv og hans værker, herunder mesterværket Nibelungens ring, har skabt mytedannelse og storslåede musikoplevelser.Wagners verden søger at give en forståelse af hans operaværk gennem en belysning af personen Wagner og hans udvikling som kunstner formet af den meget foranderlige verden, der omgav ham, og som ledte til den tidløse musik, han komponerede. Især mødet med Arthur Schopenhauers filosofi i 1854 og det forrygende ven- og senere fjendskab med filosoffen Friedrich Nietzsche blev afgørende for Wagners kunst. Bogen præsenterer tre centrale tolkningsnøgler og gennemgår opførelsespraksis for Wagners værker, som den har ændret sig gennem tiden.Afslutningsvis reflekteres der over Wagners store betydning i eftertiden, herunder hans antisemitisme og forbindelsen mellem ham og nazismen. Richard Wagner vil nok altid fremstå som en stor kunstner med både en lys og en mørk side.

It captures exactly the Bill I know.'GAVIN BRYARS'The perfect companion-piece to the music of its subject.'MOJOOver a period of forty-five years, Bill Frisell has established himself as one of the most innovative and influential musicians at work today.Growing up playing clarinet in orchestras and marching bands, Frisell has progressed through a remarkable range of musical personas - from devotee of jazz master Jim Hall to 'house guitarist' of estimable German label ECM, from edgy New York downtown experimentalist to plaintive country and bluegrass picker. He has been a pioneering bandleader and collaborator, a prolific composer and arranger and a celebrated Grammy Award winner.A quietly revolutionary guitar hero who has synthesised many disparate musical elements into one compellingly singular sound, Frisell connects to a diverse range of artists and admirers, including Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Gus Van Sant, Marianne Faithfull and Justin Vernon, many of whom feature in this book.Through unprecedented access to the guitarist and interviews with his close family, friends and associates, Philip Watson tells Frisell's story for the first time.'A revelatory, roots and branches portrait of one of America's greatest synthesisers of musical ideas.'IAN PATTERSON, ALL ABOUT JAZZ

Hver opførelse af et stykke er unik i sig selv og vil altid adskille sig lidt fra de øvrige opførelser. Men som i alle andre kunstgrene betjener også teatret sig af sine egne greb, som gør netop teatret til noget særligt. Scenekunsten flytter sig hele tiden. Nye udtryk opstår i mødet mellem scene og sal. Teater kan noget helt særligt og noget meget forskelligt. Det har sin egen historie, og det er den historie, bogserien ISCENESAT gerne vil formidle.

The fully authorized and official biography of legendary Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, one of the world's most revered and celebrated musicians of the last half century.Forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.Charlie Watts was one of the most decorated musicians in the world, having joined the Rolling Stones, a few months after their formation, early in 1963.A student of jazz drumming, he was headhunted by the band after bumping into them regularly in London's rhythm and blues clubs. Once installed at the drum seat, he didn't miss a gig, album or tour in his 60 years in the band. He was there throughout the swinging sixties, the early shot at superstardom and the Stones' world conquest; and throughout the debauchery of the 1970s, typified by 1972's Exile on Main St., considered one of the great albums of the century. By the 1980s, Charlie was battling his own demons, but emerged unscathed to enhance his unparalleled reputation even further over the ensuing decades.Watts went through band bust-ups, bereavements and changes in personnel, managers, guitarists and rhythm sections, but remained the rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones for nearly 60 years--the thoughtful, intellectual but no less compelling counterpoint to the raucousness of his bandmates Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood. And this is his story.

"In Livin' Loud, Public Enemy founder, hip-hop pioneer and revolutionary activist, Chuck D, presents a body of art, each piece reflective of the man behind the music, alongside a biographical commentary tracing his musical and artistic trajectory. From his early roots and the central figures that critically shaped him and his voice, to the formation of Public Enemy, from his Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction through to his time with Prophets of Rage and current day world affairs. Chuck D has been creating musical and cultural observations that challenge public opinion since 1985 and his visual compositions continue to interpret and question the world around us. Chuck D pays homage to his musical influences and peers from James Brown and Woody Guthrie to Def Jam labelmates Run-DMC and Beastie Boys; a host of the most influential hip-hop artists from Ice Cube to Run the Jewels; his twin passions of baseball and basketball; creating a collection of landscapes on tour with Prophets of Rage, and a range of sociopolitical pieces that explore the issues continuing to shape our culture. With a foreword by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and featuring over 250 of Chuck D's paintings, sketches and drawings, Livin' Loud includes a commentary of over 13,000 words in which he offers unprecedented insight into his life and work."--Back cover.

Pionerer & outsidere – Dansk elektronisk musik 1928-1980 er den samlede fortælling om den elektroniske musiks fremkomst og opblomstring i Danmark. Historien begynder med en række koncerter i Tivoli i København med det russiske Theremin-instrument i 1928 og rundes af i 1980, hvor den elektroniske musik efterhånden er blevet en integreret del af store dele af mainstream-musikken. De mellemliggende 52 år viser en overraskende mangefacetteret historie om teknologisk og kunstnerisk udvikling drevet frem af pionerer med stor nysgerrighed over for nye musikalske produktionsmuligheder og nye klange. I bogen møder vi en række klassisk uddannede komponister som for eksempel Else Marie Pade, Jørgen Plaetner og Fuzzy, der tidligt tog den elektroniske musik til sig, men vi møder også mange ukendte amatørkomponister, der eksperimenterede med spolebåndoptagere og byggede egne instrumenter. Bogen afdækker også, hvordan den tidlige elektroniske musik manifesterede sig langt fra det traditionelle musikliv, blandt andet inden for billedkunsten, i tidlige eksperimentalfilm og i underholdningsbranchen. Her gemmer der sig historier om syngende hunde, der kom til tops på de amerikanske hitlister, om festklædte ingeniører, der dansede til computermusik sidst i 1950’erne, og elektronisk lydterapi, der gjorde patienterne døve. Historien udfoldes på baggrund af et stort reseracharbejde og inddrager interviews med komponister og et væld af datidige kilder. Gennem beskrivelser af de musikalske værker og lydeksperimenter afdækkes en væsentlig og farverig, men stort set glemt og ubeskrevet del af dansk musikhistorie.

They pulled on their platform boots and slapped on the makeup when everybody else was discarding theirs. Their albums were subject to poor production, scathing reviews, and commercial indifference. Other bands refused to have them as their opening act. Their record company was up against the wall. By all reasoning, they should have become one of the 'lost' bands of the 1970s, like the Harlots of 42nd Street or the Hollywood Stars. Yet in 1975 Kiss unexpectedly came Alive! and by the following year, they were the biggest rock and roll band - and brand - in America. This is a journey through Kiss's first and most storied decade. It is the story of the four men behind the masks, and the music they made, the studio albums, the legendary live albums, and of one of the greatest rock follies in music history, the four simultaneously released solo album. Along the way, it tells of the costumes and the concerts, the merchandise and the Marvel comic books, the television appearances and the disastrous 1978 movie, Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. And having bestrode the 1970s like an unstoppable colossus, it ends with Kiss under siege, beset by changing public taste without, and combustible personalities within.
