Summary

In "Letters of Felix Mendelssohn to Ignaz and Charlotte Moscheles," the esteemed composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy presents a fascinating collection of personal correspondences that illuminate his relationships with fellow musicians and friends. The letters, characterized by their eloquent prose and candid reflections, reveal Mendelssohn's thoughts on the artistic challenges of his time as well as his perspectives on the cultural milieu of 19th-century Europe. This literary endeavor serves as both a historical document and a glimpse into the life of a composer who navigated a world rife with political upheaval and evolving musical trends, effectively marrying his keen observations with poetic language. Mendelssohn himself emerged from a prominent Jewish family that converted to Christianity, a context that shaped his views and interactions within the artistic circles of his day. His close friendship with Ignaz Moscheles, a celebrated pianist and fellow composer, further enriched his life and provided fertile ground for intellectual exchange. Mendelssohn's passion for music and profound understanding of its emotional depth are vividly articulated in these letters, which reflect his commitment to fostering a shared musical heritage. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in musical history or the personal insights of one of the great Romantic composers. Mendelssohn's correspondence not only enriches our understanding of his creative process but also offers invaluable perspectives on the artistic community of his time. Readers seeking a deeper appreciation of Mendelssohn's multifaceted character and societal challenges will find these letters both illuminating and moving.

    'Essential reading' RECORD COLLECTOR'Darcus Beese is a formidable cat' CHUCK D'An inspiration' ANNIE LENNOXThe must-read memoir from Darcus Beese - the first black president of Island Records and one of the greatest A&Rs of his generation. From growing up as a teenager on the streets of West London to running one of the biggest record labels in the world in New York - this is a truly remarkable rags to riches tale. Rebel With a Cause is the story of how a teenage apprentice hairdresser from Fulham worked his way up from teaboy to head one of the UK's biggest and most successful record labels, Island Records, signing and nurturing some of the greatest artists of the twenty-first century - from Amy Winehouse and Jessie J to U2 and Florence and the Machine.But this is also the story of a young man raised in musically fertile and politically febrile times. His activist parents Darcus Howe and Barbara Beese were tireless campaigners for racial equality at a time when racism was rife, not only on the streets, in schools and on the terraces, but also in the highest institutions of power. Fighting for equality - for himself and for his artists - has therefore been a key part of Darcus's life. This is the incredible tale of an indomitable leader, an industry pioneer and rebel with a true cause.

    "An engaging glimpse into a world both fascinating and fundamentally unknowable to those who aren't born into it." —R. E. BURRILLO, author of Behind the Bears Ears 
 
 
 
Craig Childs bears witness to rock art of the Colorado Plateau—bighorn sheep pecked behind boulders, tiny spirals in stone, human figures with upraised arms shifting with the desert light, each one a portal to the open mouth of time. With a spirit of generosity, humility, and love of the arid, intricate landscapes of the desert Southwest, Childs sets these ancient communications in context, inviting listeners to look and listen deeply.
