De Gruyter IMAGINE MOZART MOZART BILDER
Book SynopsisPerson und Musik Mozarts faszinieren bildende Künstler bis heute. Zum 100-jährigen Jubiläum des Mozartfests Würzburg gehen eine Ausstellung im Museum im Kulturspeicher Würzburg und der begleitende Katalog dieser langen Wirkungsgeschichte nach. Neben originalen Zeugnissen Mozarts spannen rund 60 Kunstwerke – unter anderem von Chagall, Klee und Slevogt – einen Bogen von Porträts und Denkmälern, die das Bild des Komponisten nachhaltig bestimmen, über Bühnenbilder zur Zauberflöte bis hin zur abstrakten Malerei. Die Ausstellung legt einen besonderen Akzent auf die schöpferischen Energien, die Mozarts Schaffen freisetzte und den Wandel von der Darstellung beliebter Opernszenen und -figuren seit dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert hin zur Reflexion von Kompositionsprinzipien im 20. Jahrhundert und der Gegenwart. Blick ins Buch https://issuu.com/deutscher_kunstverlag/docs/9783422986411_imagine_mozrat_blick-ins-buch

Peter Lang AG Friedrich Wieck - Gesammelte Schriften ueber
Book SynopsisWie gelingt der Tagesablauf eines Kindes so, dass es sowohl für die schulische Ausbildung als auch für die Musik genügend Zeit hat? Welche Säle eignen sich für Konzerte am besten und warum? Wie sieht Musikdidaktik in der Praxis aus? Für dies und vieles mehr etwa für das Verhältnis von Begabung und pädagogischem Einfluss zeigte Friedrich Wieck (17851873) leidenschaftliches Interesse. Der Vater und einzige Lehrer Clara Schumanns wirkt mit seinem künstlerischen und pädagogischen Sendungsbewusstsein ansteckend. In einem einführenden Essay und in zahlreichen ausführlichen Anmerkungen wird Wieck als eine mannigfaltig interessierte, lesefreudige und fachübergreifend denkende Persönlichkeit portraitiert. Erstmalig finden sich auch schwer zugängliche Schriften Wiecks berücksichtigt.

Peter Lang AG Peace & Love: Religiositaet und Sozialkritik in
Book SynopsisDas Werk greift eine Thematik auf, die sich im Schnittfeld zwischen Soziologie, Theologie und Religionswissenschaft bewegt und ist dementsprechend interdisziplinär angelegt. Das Thema schließt eine Lücke in der Erforschung des Phänomens der Beatles und der Beatlemania, mithin eines für die 1960er Jahre prägnanten und eines die Folgezeit prägenden musikalischen, soziologisch-sozialkritischen und weltanschaulich-religiösen Impulses mit enormer Breitenwirkung. Beim Autor vereinen sich umfängliches Wissen über das Sujet und Passion. Man liest es dem Buch an, dass es von jemandem geschrieben wurde, der für das Thema brennt und sich über einen langen Zeitraum damit auseinandergesetzt hat. Im Rahmen seiner beruflichen Laufbahn kam es zu Begegnungen und Interviews mit Sir Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Yoko Ono, Pete Best, Donovan, Brian Wilson, Sir Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison, Julian Lennon, Sean Ono Lennon, Tony Sheridan, Klaus Voormann und anderen Interviewpartner aus dem unmittelbaren Umfeld der Beatles, ohne die dieses Buch so nicht entstanden wäre. Ein Muss für die soziologische und religionswissenschaftliche Analyse der 1960er Jahre, aber natürlich auch für Beatles-Forscher und Musik-Fans gleichermaßen.

Harwood-Academic Publishers Ton de Leeuw
Book SynopsisNot a biography in the traditional sense, this book is a consideration of De Leeuw's thoughts and composition, first and foremost by the composer himself. A comprehensive world view is at the root of De Leeuw's musical conceptions made apparent by his travel diaries and his reflections on the social and cultural relationship between the East and West. The book's various authors view the composer's work against the background of their own widely divergent disciplines: contemporary music, non-Western music, music therapy, and intercultural developments.

Taschen GmbH Daniel Kramer. Bob Dylan. A Year and a Day
Book SynopsisDaniel Kramer’s classic Bob Dylan portfolio captures the artist’s transformative “big bang” year of 1964–65. Over the course of a year and a day, Kramer’s extraordinary access to Bob Dylan on tour, in concert, and backstage, allowed for one of the most mesmerizing photographic portfolios of any recording artist and a stunning document of Dylan breaking through to superstardom. Highlights include the Lincoln Center’s Philharmonic Hall concert with Joan Baez; the Bringing It All Back Home recording sessions; and the now-famous concert at Forest Hills, when Dylan’s controversial transition to electric guitar exemplified his constant, cryptic state of becoming. As much a document of a seminal period of rock ’n’ roll history as of Dylan himself, the pictures also feature such compelling friends and collaborators as Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Allen Ginsberg, and Albert Grossman.Bob Dylan: A Year and a Day presents a curated selection of nearly 200 images, including outtakes from the Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited album cover shoots. Previously published by TASCHEN as a signed Collector’s Edition, this standard edition is the more affordable boon to any serious photography or Dylan fan. With stories throughout the book by Kramer, this is at once an intimate and evocative testament to a seminal photographer, to a particular point in time, and to an exceptional, mysterious artist at the moment his career went global.First published as a TASCHEN Collector’s Edition, now available as an affordable, compact edition

Taschen GmbH The Rolling Stones. Updated Edition
Book SynopsisThe kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their 60-year career is without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image. “The clothes and the hair are always impeccable,” describes author Luc Sante. “They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos.” Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture. Produced in close collaboration with the band, this updated edition charts the Stones’ remarkable history and outrageously cool lifestyle in over 450 pages of photographs and illustrations, gathered from archives all over the world. Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones’ own archives in New York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to their story. For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie this is their official photographic record. Features: Over 450 pages of incredible images from some of the world’s greatest photographers, including David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton, Anton Corbijn, Herb Ritts, Albert Watson, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Peter Beard, Helmut Newton, Bent Rej, Gered Mankowitz, and Norman Parkinson. Essays from award-winning writers David Dalton, Waldemar Januszczak, and Luc Sante Appendix including the Stones in the media, a Stones timeline, a discography, and photographers’ biographies Trade Review“We worked with some of the greatest photographers in the world who captured many magical moments of our career. This volume brings together some incredible pictures spanning the past 60 plus years.” * Mick Jagger *“…a stunning collector’s compendium…” * Vanity Fair *“This book isn’t just rock’n’roll, it’s a roller coaster through fifty years of memory lane!” * Keith Richards *

Taschen GmbH Gay Talese. Phil Stern. Frank Sinatra Has a Cold
Book Synopsis“Sinatra with a cold is Picasso without paint, Ferrari without fuel—only worse. For the common cold robs Sinatra of that uninsurable jewel, his voice, cutting into the core of his confidence.” — Gay Talese In the winter of 1965, writer Gay Talese set out for Los Angeles with an assignment from Esquire to write a major profile on Frank Sinatra. When he arrived, he found the singer and his vigilant entourage on the defensive: Sinatra was under the weather, not available, and not willing to be interviewed. Undeterred, Talese stayed, believing Sinatra might recover and reconsider, and used the meantime to observe the star and to interview his friends, associates, family members, and hangers-on. Sinatra never did grant the one-on-one, but Talese’s tenacity paid off: his profile Frank Sinatra Has a Cold went down in history as a tour de force of literary nonfiction and the advent of New Journalism. In this illustrated edition, Frank Sinatra Has a Cold is published with an introduction by Talese, reproductions of his manuscript pages, and correspondence. Interwoven are photographs from the legendary lens of Phil Stern, the only photographer granted access to Sinatra over four decades, as well as from top photojournalists of the ’60s, including John Bryson, John Dominis, and Terry O’Neill. The photographs complement Talese’s character study, painting an incisive portrait of Sinatra in the recording studio, on location, out on the town, and with the eponymous cold, which reveals as much about a singular star persona as it does about the Hollywood machine.Trade Review“Sinatra with a cold is Picasso without paint, Ferrari without fuel—only worse. For the common cold robs Sinatra of that uninsurable jewel, his voice, cutting into the core of his confidence.” * Gay Talese *“One of the greatest celebrity portraits ever written.” * GQ *

Taschen GmbH Harry Benson. The Beatles
Book SynopsisIn early 1964, photographer Harry Benson received a call from the photo editor of London’s Daily Express, who asked him to cover the Beatles’ trip to Paris. It was the beginning of a career-defining relationship, which would both make Benson’s name and produce some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the Beatles. In Paris, Benson captured the Fab Four in the midst of a pillow fight at the George V Hotel, a spontaneous moment which came to epitomize the spirit of the band—Benson himself has called it the best shot of his career. Later that year, he followed the group on the road for their debut U.S. tour, documenting their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, their surprising encounter with Cassius Clay, and the hysteria of New York Beatlemania. Benson also photographed George Harrison’s honeymoon in Barbados, documented the Beatles on the set of their debut movie A Hard Day’s Night, and was present on the now infamous 1966 tour when John Lennon said that the Beatles were “more popular than Jesus.” Previously out-of-print, this re-edition brings back the best of Benson’s luminous black-and-white Beatles portfolio. Complemented by quotes and newspaper clippings from the period, an introduction by the photographer himself adds exciting personal testimony to these iconic images of the greatest band in musical history.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Popular Is Not Enough: The Political Voice Of Jo
Book SynopsisIn his study, Markus Jäger explores the coalescence of Joan Baez's work as a singer and songwriter with her endeavours as a political activist throughout the last fifty years. He illustrates an American popular singer's significance as a political activist - for her audiences and for her opponents as well as for those victims of politically organised violence who have profited from her work. Mingling popular culture with political activism can turn into a helpful means when it comes to a non-violent progress of society. Joan Baez's work offers an excellent example for this hypothesis.Trade Review"If we are to deepen our understanding of art and resistance, we need to address hard questions about protest music and popular culture and the importance of community in organizing against war." -- American StudiesTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

DruckVerlag Kettler My Friends Got Famous
Book SynopsisAannenMayKantereit is one of the most popular bands in Germany. From the very beginning, Martin Lamberty has been their photographer. He has been travelling with his old friends from school around Europe ever since. His pictures tell the story of how the young musicians started their careers by performing on the streets of Cologne right up to the development of their current album "Schlagschatten". Lamberty has provided a chronicle of the concerts, of the band's life on tour, and their studio recording sessions. But his shots are far more than just classic band photos. As their friend, he is always a part of what is happening and gets to capture private moments behind the scenes, ranging from the miserably long journeys on the tour bus and the lonely hours in anonymous hotels, to the band's vacations together. In a unique way, Lamberty combines these silent moments with intriguing, sometimes melancholy images of rooms or landscapes and weaves them into a rich account. The result is a coming-of-age book about winning and losing, about life and friendship.
