Twentieth-century classical music's revolutionary panorama.
If you're intrigued by the evolution of classical music and how it intertwined with cultural and social shifts, "The Rest Is Noise" is a treasure trove. Alex Ross's expertise and narrative skill illuminate a fascinating period of musical history that goes beyond notes and scores, delving into its profound impact on and reflection of the society it serenaded. This isn't just a book; it's a journey through an era's soundtrack.
