Ozzy Osbourne, Offenbach y Pink Floyd entre las Novedades literarias de este mes

I am Ozzy (confieso que he bebido): Memorias de Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy Osbourne

Nacido en Aston, Birmingham, en 1948, Osbourne es uno de los pocos roqueros del ala dura que ha vendido más de 100 millones de discos junto al mítico grupo Black Sabbath y a lo largo de su laureada carrera en solitario.

«Mi padre siempre me dijo que un día haría algo grande. “Tengo un presentimiento, John Michael Osbourne”, solía decirme, después de haberse tomado unas cuantas cervezas: “acabarás haciendo algo muy especial… o acabarás en prisión”. Y lo cierto es que el viejo llevaba razón: fui encarcelado poco antes de alcanzar la mayoría de edad...» Ozzy Osbourne

De cualquier “príncipe de las tinieblas” que se precie esperaría uno encontrarse con la crónica pormenorizada de una existencia no exenta de vertiginosos descensos a los infiernos. Lo cierto es que muchas de sus gestas no nos son desconocidas. ¿Qué queda entonces por contar en unas memorias? Felizmente, mucho, y tan patético e hilarante como sus célebres y celebradas excentricidades de antaño. Osbourne perdió, si jamás lo tuvo, el poco sentido del ridículo que le asistía hace ya mucho tiempo y el decoro no parece quitarle el sueño. Su vida ya era un culebrón mucho antes de que la cadena de television MTV empezará a documentarla. […] Su “negro” ha conseguido preservar la oralidad de la crónica, vertida previamente en cinta, confiriéndole a su voz su idiosincrásica y horrísona
impronta. Probablemente les resulte imposible reprimir la tentación de contar muchas de las anécdotas que en este libro se cuentan. The Guardian.

Isaac Offenbach y su hijo Jacques o "No todos los días se festeja Purim"
Kaufmann, Jacobo

En casi cada una de las obras de Jacques Offenbach (óperas, operetas, canciones y composiciones para el violoncelo) aparecen frecuentemente melodías inesperadas que no tienen prácticamente nada que ver con las culturas y artes musicales de Alemania o Francia. Anton Henseler fue el primero en ocuparse de los ingredientes judíos presentes en la música de Jacques Offenbach, y ofrece varios ejemplos en los que se detecta un marcado parecido entre algunas obras de Jacques y ciertos temas de la liturgia judía. En este libro, Jacobo Kaufmann profundiza en las composiciones litúrgicas de su padre, Isaac Offenbach, cantor de sinagoga, y en el profundo vínculo que establecieron padre e hijo en la vida y en la música.

The Wall: Pink Floyd
Muniesa, Mariano

The Wall a pesar de ser hoy en día un disco clásico de una de las grandes formaciones del rock, como fueron los británicos Pink Floyd, en su momento fue un álbum que no caló en la prensa musical que lo criticó agriamente y lo defenestró. La repercusión en los medios especializados y generalistas no fue buena. No fue así en cambio la repercusión en las ventas de discos y de entradas de sus conciertos, a pesar de que la gira fue ruinosa para el grupo. En cambio la película que idearon junto al director Alan Parker fue un rotundo éxito de taquilla, que del mismo modo que el álbum, fue criticada negativamente por la prensa. Esta es la narración de una paradoja que se ha dado en diversas ocasiones a lo largo de la historia del rock, los gustos de los fans vs los de la llamada crítica musical.
Todas las aristas, ángulos, facetas, interpretaciones que esa gran obra llamada The Wall contiene son ampliamente analizadas y explicadas en el desarrollo de este libro, la primera obra en castellano monográfi ca sobre el inagotable mundo de ideas, visiones y sensaciones que The Wall ofrece a quienes se acercan a adentrarse en su mundo.

    When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in
    Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you

  13. While the latter may have better specs, the kindle fire hd 8.
    6 ounces, is a light at all so easily held with one hand and easy to carry in your bag.

    When spending $200 dollars on anything, it gets hard to complain about the shortcomings.

  17. Third, let's say you are not satisfied with the camera that you purchased and you decide to change. All in all this is a great digital camera to have if you're looking to take high speed quality pictures or movies.
    On the other hand, the Nano worked fine, but after a couple of hours
    of steadicam work, my arms were getting tired.

  18. This feature adds more digital camera ratings and
    is perfect for professional nature photographers who want to take photos
    with no artificial lighting. If you are searching for a
    camera that shoots high quality video clip and stills then this a single is
    for you. Compared to the standard prices of camcorders, a DSLR holds its own.

  20. You can get the older digital Canon Rebel, with a lens, for a good price new.
    A tripod or sturdy table is a must when holding any superzoom camera steady.
    It helps capture images in challenging lighting conditions, with an exceptional low-light performance.
