The Beatles' third tour of North America was nearly a year in the planning. By late 1964, manager Brian Epstein knew that they were not only the biggest act in his stable: they had become the biggest act on earth. America worshipped them. Somewhere different for the start of this tour, in New York - somewhere appropriately massive - had to be found. It was: a baseball stadium in Flushing, Queens. On August 15, 1965, The Beatles played the concert of their lives there.

André Gide, one of the great intellectuals of the 20th century and a devoted pianist, invites readers to reevaluate Frédéric Chopin as a composer "betrayed...deeply, intimately, totally violated" by a music community that had fundamentally misinterpreted his work. As a profound admirer of Chopin’s "promenade of discoveries", Gide intersperses musical notation throughout the text to illuminate his arguments, but most moving is Gide’s own poetic expression for the music he so loved.

In a book that inspired the Amazon original series starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Malcolm McDowell, oboist Blair Tindall recounts her decades-long professional career as a classical musician, from the recitals and Broadway orchestra performances to the secret life of musicians who survive hand to mouth in the backbiting New York classical music scene, trading sexual favors for plum jobs and assignments in orchestras across the city.

After more than two decades of research and travels, Christophe Lebold, who befriended the poet and spent time with him in Los Angeles, delivers a stimulating analysis of Cohen’s life and art. Gracefully blending biography and essay, he interrogates the mission Cohen set out for himself: to show us that darkness is just the flip side of light.

In the '60s and '70s, America's music scene was marked by raucous excess, reflected in the tragic overdoses of young superstars such as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. At the same time, the uplifting harmonies and sunny lyrics that propelled Karen Carpenter and her brother, Richard, to international fame belied a different sort of tragedy - the underconsumption that led to Karen's death at age 32 from the effects of an eating disorder.

Melodías del alma nos invita a embarcarnos en un viaje musical a través del tiempo, apelando a los clásicos de ayer y de hoy al compás de las estaciones del año, y a sumergirnos en las resonancias musicales de las profundidades del alma recorriendo la cartografía de las emociones que cada estación suscita en la autora a lo largo de las cincuenta y dos semanas del año. En este singular ejercicio de maridaje, cada una de las trece emociones asociadas a cada estación se acompaña de una composición que la representa.

From National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author Sam Quinones, the story of a demanding instrument, the determined people who play it, and the hope they offer a fractured nation.

Funk e empoderamento feminino no mesmo audiolivro? Como assim, se o funk só objetifica a mulher? É para romper com esse senso comum, que Tamiris Coutinho decidiu enfrentar os estigmas e preconceitos que envolvem o gênero musical no lançamento da editora Claraboia. Inspirada no hit do funk carioca Cai de boca, a autora analisa e demonstra como um dos movimentos culturais mais importantes do Brasil também é um potencializador da liberdade, da autonomia e do empoderamento da mulher.

A las puertas del vigésimo quinto aniversario de la muerte de Frank Sinatra, se edita por primera vez en España, con una nueva introducción del autor, el sentido recuerdo que, a modo de semblanza, compuso Pete Hamill (confidente y compañero de correrías a quien Sinatra trató de convencer, sin suerte, para que escribiera sus memorias) cuando la noticia de la muerte de «La Voz» le sorprendió en la sala de embarque de un aeropuerto.

Ha habido muy pocos grupos de rock españoles tan personales y emocionantes como Extremoduro. Roberto Iniesta, su fundador y emblema, acuñó la expresión «rock transgresivo» para definir el tipo de música que hacían, caracterizada por la unión de una poesía de una fiera visceralidad, sin parangón en el ámbito de la canción popular, y unas estructuras musicales que se rebelaron contra las fórmulas al uso.

Esta desternillante antología de ensayos, reseñas, autopsias y semblanzas rescata del más inmisericorde de los olvidos algunas de las piezas más delirantes del impenitente grafómano y crítico por antonomasia del rock.

De parecido modo a como refiere Homero en la odisea al dar noticia del irreprimible deseo que apodérase de Ulises —embriagarse con los cantos de las sirenas—, no es menos cierto que pocos son los que se resisten al embrujador encanto del acervo musical de Cuba; trasunto "afrocañí" de la isla de las sirenas por cuyas entrañas fluyen y concluyen tantas tradiciones musicales de Ultramar.

The first book of its kind, A Quick Ting on Afrobeats chronicles the social and cultural development of the eponymous music genre, tracing its rich history from the African continent all the way to the musical centre of the Western world.
