The Rest Is Noise; Listening to the Twentieth Century by Alex Ross
Serious 20th Century "Classical" Music diverged off from the popular culture audience, who were scared away by the atonal screeching. Or did it? The author lovingly describes some of his favourite moments in this genre of music, and makes the argument that this "difficult" art has finally infiltrated our current pop culture in movie soundtracks and electronica experiments.
Gustav Mahler
Arnold Schoenberg
Igor Stravinsky
Bertolt Brecht & Kurt Weill
Karlheinz Stockhausen
