«El ruido eterno» is Alex Ross's musical essay published by Seix Barral in paperback (800 pages, in Spanish).
Alex Ross narrates the twentieth century through its music: from pre-First World War Vienna to the Paris of the twenties and the New York of the sixties, with stops in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. He shows how rebel composers broke with the classical canon, defied dictators and won over audiences.
Translated by Luis Gago, in the Los Tres Mundos collection. This essay won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Guardian First Book Award, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
Recommended for classical music enthusiasts and readers interested in the cultural history of the twentieth century.
