【重要的是音乐】 James Rhoes 每个人都是过往的囚徒,而未来则是唯一的救赎。 有人说中国在快速发展,在逐渐赶超西方国家。它奋力大步跨过那些被狠狠抛到后面的路,走向美好的前方。在我看来,这应该还有另一种意思,中国在某些方面走着西方的老路,踏入发展过程中极易走入...

James Rhodes' passion for music has been his absolute lifeline. It has been the thread that has held him together through a life that has encompassed pain, conflict and turmoil. Listening to Rachmaninov on a loop as a traumatised teenager or discovering an Adagio by Bach while in a hospital ward - such exquisite miracles of musical genius have helped him survive his demons, and, along with a chance encounter with a stranger, inspired him to become the renowned concert pianist he is today.
This is a memoir like no other: unapologetically candid, boldly outspoken and surprisingly funny - James' prose is shot through with an unexpectedly mordant wit, even at the darkest of moments. An impassioned tribute to the therapeutic powers of music, Instrumental also weaves in fascinating facts about how classical music actually works and about the extraordinary lives of some of the great composers. It explains why and how music has the potential to transform all of our lives.
