About this copy
Alex Ross, music critic of The New Yorker, takes readers on a riveting tour of twentieth century classical music, from the premiere of Strauss's Salome in 1906 through to the Velvet Underground and Brian Eno. Winner of numerous awards for his criticism, Ross brings history, politics and sound together in a book that has been widely praised as the best general study of its subject. Björk, The Economist and The Washington Post have all sung its praises.
A handsome hardback with its original dust jacket, in a tidy and well-kept condition. The jacket's glossy black design with white typography and musical motifs makes it a striking addition to any shelf.
