Description

Alex Ross's 'Listen to This' offers a fresh perspective on music history and its enduring power. A cultural historian and music critic, Ross explores the complexities of classical music and its relevance in contemporary culture, while also shedding new light on popular music. Through engaging essays and insightful interviews with modern musicians, Ross reveals how music can express the full complexity of human experience. From canonical composers to indie-rock hipsters, he shows how different voices and styles intersect and influence one another. With wit and passion, Ross argues that music has the power to bridge cultural divides and create a shared understanding. By examining iconic bass lines and exploring the intersections between high art and popular culture, 'Listen to This' invites readers to listen more closely to the world around them.
