In this sweeping and dramatic narrative, Alex Ross, music critic for The
New Yorker, weaves together the histories of the twentieth century and
its music, from Vienna before the First World War to Paris in the
twenties; from Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia to downtown New York
in the sixties and seventies up to the present. Taking readers into the
labyrinth of modern style, Ross draws revelatory connections between the
century's most influential composers and the wider culture. The Rest Is
Noise is an astonishing history of the twentieth century as told through
its music.
