Sin duda nos encontramos ante la biografía definitiva de Bach, un texto riguroso, detallado y lleno de nuevas aportaciones que, además, está enriquecido con numerosos ejemplos de partituras, el índice de las obras de Bach y otros anexos de gran valor documental. Este libro, finalista del premio Pulitzer en 2001, ha sido celebrado ya por musicos tan relevantes como Gustav Leonhardt e Isaac Stern. "Esta biografia es una obra monumental que deberia ocupar un lugar en la biblioteca de cada musico y cada amante de la musica. Maravillosamente estructurado y profundamente documentado, este libro no solo ofrece una extraordinaria vision de las numerosas obras escritas sobre Bach, sino que expone nuevas opiniones y apreciaciones artisticas mucho mas amplias y profundas de lo que hasta hoy parecia posible. Wolff revela la importancia de Bach como excepcional guia e innovador de la creatividad musical cuyo legado ha influido en todos los compositores posteriores a el. Tambien nos muestra el profundo amor y el respeto del autor por la generosidad y el talento de Bach, como compositor, interprete, profesor, teologo y empresario. Este es un libro para leer con toda atencion y para volver a ser leido una y otra vez. La luz que arroja sobre los logros y el genio de Bacb es y sera por mucho tiempo un enorme tesoro."

Imagine One quarter of the world's most famous group, one half of the most successful songwriting team of all time and one voice for world peace - all achieved in one tragically shortened career. John Lennon's remarkable talent and uncompromising character gave him a unique and extraordinary life, achieving a level of success and public adoration that few can imagine. Never far in his mind from his working class roots, his lifestyle was conversely rich and free, his celebrity affording him a musical and political soapbox few have attained. Music Icons: Lennon takes a look at both his personal and professional life before, during and after the Beatles: the progression of his creative genius as a solo artist and songwriter, his battles with the US government, his devotion to his wife and their mutual goal for a peaceful revolution. Having become a controversial and outspoken idealist and a mercurial music legend, Lennon's senseless murder in 1980 shook the world. While his widow has continued to keep his cause and ideals alive, it is Lennon's music - both as a Beatle and as an iconic solo artist - which continues to inspire and move music lovers around the globe. The Music Icons series: Each title contains a painstaking selection of approximately 150 portraits, colorful posters and record covers, rare concert photos, and previously unpublished candid photos. These imageseach matching an important biographical eventare accompanied by text tracing the progression of each subjects life and career and are complemented by a section containing lists of essential recordings and selected chart rankings.

Have You Ever Been Experienced? Raised on the blues, James Marshall Hendrix exploded onto the international stage in 1967 fronting the Jimi Hendrix Experience trio. The world had seen nothing like him before: a wild-haired, blues-rocking, singer-songwriter whose virtuoso psychedelic guitar style and showmanship captivated audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Wowing fans and critics alike, Hendrix took blues-rock as the basis for a unique sound filled with amplified distortions, wild feedback and liquid solo riffs. His live performances became legendary, hallmarked with teeth-playing antics and guitar-burning rituals, while his personal life followed an equally fascinating and destructive path. Dead at just 27, Hendrix became the poster boy for the psychedelic era's sex, drugs and rock'n'roll lifestyle. Transforming the landscape of rock music forever, the seminal recordings from his four studio albums broke new ground and his unrivaled southpaw fret-work has influenced successive generations of musicians. Hendrix's music and legacy burn as brightly today as they did 40 years ago.

El próximo 13 de diciembre de 2009 se cumple el trigésimo aniversario del fallecimiento de la pianista Pilar Bayona, y creí que sería el momento adecuado para reunir y seleccionar algunos dibujos de la interprete y completar la idea proponiendo a algunos amigos, musicos, familia y personas relacionadas con el arte, que escribiesen un texto en cualquiera de sus estilos y generos, como un poema, articulo, cuento breve, compases musicales, etc., dedicado a Pilar Bayona, como homenaje a toda una vida dedicada a la musica. Cada texto podria vincularse a una caricatura o dibujo, y asi se unen los 30 años que han pasado desde su fallecimiento con 30 caricaturas y los 30 textos escritos para mantener vivo el recuerdo de Pilar Bayona. Los retratos que se han seleccionado para esta publicacion son en su mayoria las caricaturas de prensa existentes en el Archivo Pilar Bayona, y se ha completado el numero de 30 con otros dibujos del Archivo, tambien retratos de la pianista.
