Story
After performing with Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks (1957-1964), The Band (Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and Levon Helm) eventually rose to fame in the sixties as backing musicians for Bob Dylan. This collaboration with Dylan presented the group with a chance to expand musically and strike out on their own. The Band's fusion of rock, country, soul, and blues music-all tinged with a southern flavor and musical adventurousness—created a unique soundscape.

Wie die Familie Bach im Alltag lebte, Händel sich kurieren ließ und Telemann sein Geld anlegte Bruno Preisendörfers Zeitreise führt in die Zeit der Fürstenfeste und Bauernhochzeiten, der Stadtpfeifer und Bierfiedler, der Kaffeehäuser und Kastraten - nämlich ins Barock. Das Deutschland, in das wir mit Bruno Preisendörfer reisen, war erfüllt von der Musik tausender Hoforchester, Kirchenorgeln und Chöre, ob zur Unterhaltung des Adels, zu jedem Gottesdienst oder auf den Dorffesten der einfachen Leute - immer wurde gefiedelt, geflötet und getrommelt.

In Detroit Rock City, listeners get to hear the stories straight from the participants themselves: the singers, the guitar slingers, the fans, the reporters, the promoters, even the guys who hand-made amps to be louder and crunchier than the competition’s.

Story
The literary establishment tends to regard Bob Dylan as an intriguing, if baffling, outsider. That changed overnight when Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, challenging us to think of him as an integral part of our national and international literary heritage. No One to Meet places Dylan the artist within a long tradition of literary production and offers an innovative way of understanding his unique, and often controversial, methods of composition.

Charly Hübner zeigt sein schriftstellerisches Talent. Selten wurde so leidenschaftlich über Musik geschrieben, selten so eindrücklich über den Effekt, den diese auf einen Jugendlichen haben kann. Dieses Hörbuch ist eine Schatzkiste voller Erinnerungen und Anekdoten eines Lebens, für das der Frontmann der lautesten Band der Welt seine berühmten Weisheiten geschrieben haben könnte: "I'm in love with rock'n'roll, it satisfies my soul". Ob als pickliger Jugendlicher in der Dorfdisko, wenn das erste Mal "The Hammer" gespielt wird, oder bei der Party nach der ersten Filmpremiere - immer ist Motörhead als Soundtrack dabei.

Story
In this widely praised book, Annik LaFarge presents a very different Frédéric Chopin from the melancholy, sickly, Romantic figure that has predominated for so long. The artist she discovered is, instead, a purely independent - and endlessly relevant - spirit: an innovator who created a new musical language; an autodidact who became a spiritually generous, trailblazing teacher; a stalwart patriot during a time of revolution, pandemic, and exile.
