Alex Ross’s award-winning international bestseller, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century , has become a contemporary classic, establishingRoss as one of our most popular and acclaimed cultural historians. Listen to This , which takes its title from a beloved 2004 essay in which Ross describes his late-blooming discovery of pop music, showcases the best of his writing from more than a decade at The New Yorker . These pieces, dedicated to classical and popular artists alike, are at once erudite and lively. In a previously unpublished essay, Ross brilliantly retells hundreds of years of music history—from Renaissance dances to Led Zeppelin—through a few iconic bass lines of celebration and lament. He vibrantly sketches canonical composers such as Schubert, Verdi, and Brahms; gives us in-depth interviews with modern pop masters such as Björk and Radiohead; and introduces us to music students at a Newark high school and indie-rock hipsters in Beijing.
Whether his subject is Mozart or Bob Dylan, Ross shows how music expresses the full complexity of the human condition. Witty, passionate, and brimming with insight, Listen to This teaches us how to listen more closely.

居然沒有聽力的listen to this
评分"Whoever coined the epigram 'Writing about music is like dancing about architecture' was muddying the waters."
评分曾經是為瞭Salonen那篇買的，後來發現每一篇都不錯，隻是有點繞…
评分有趣且幽默。文化多元主義的相關錶述讓我突然有點明白瞭前幾日看的《世界時代》裏的不大理解的一些文段。
评分真intellectual fun
