| "The Rest Is Noise is a great achieve-ment. Rilke once wrote of how he learned to stand "more seeingly'in front of certain paintings. Ross enables us to listen more hearingly." --GEOFF DYER, The New York Times Book Review "It would be hard to imagine a better guide to the maelstrom of recent music than Mr. Ross, who worked on this book for a decade. He has an almost uncanny gift for putting music into words." --The Economist "[A] hugely enjoyable cultural history." --The Christian Science Monitor "Ross is a supremely gifted writer who brings together the political and technological richness of the world inside the magic circle of the concert hall, so that each illuminates the other." --LEV GROSSMAN, Time "The Rest Is Noise is a long and thrilling ride [Ross] writes about music in vivid language humming with intelligence. He tells great stories about musicians' lives and illuminates their work with the light of his own experiences." --KEVIN BERGER, Salon.com "The best book on what music is about--really about--that you or I will ever own." --ALAN RICH, LA Weekly 作者简介：Alex Ross, the music critic for The New Yorker, is the recipient of nu-merous awards for his work, including two ASCAP Deems Taylor Awards for music criticism, a Holtzbrinck Fellowship at the Ameri- can Academy in Berlin, a Fleck Fellowship from the Banff Centre, and a Letter of Distinction from the American Music Center for sig-nificant contributions to the field of contemporary music. The Rest IsNoise is his first book. |
