It was a magical time enhanced by radio as well as the great live performances. Radio and music of the Big Band Era were made for each other, and the so-called Swing Years were a golden age of rhythm. It was not just music that made you want to dance. It was music that made you glow, music that made you want to sing, music that made you come alive, music for falling in love. And, despite the passage of time, it still is.

There have been few times in modern music history that an instant shift in how we listen to - and view - music has occurred. However, the launch of MTV on August 1, 1981, was certainly one such occurrence. Instantly, music fans were now “listening with their eyes” rather than relying solely on their ears.

Rossini era capaz de leer una partitura de derecha a izquierda y de abajo a arriba; Wagner embaucó a Luis II para que le construyera un teatro en Bayreuth, donde debía llegar desde Inglaterra un inmenso dragón de cartón-piedra para el estreno de Sigfrido... Pero arribó ¡en Beirut!... Hay anécdotas como estas por decenas, pero ninguna pasa de eso, del puro cotilleo. Este audiolibro aspira a dar otro tipo de respuestas a los claroscuros de algunos grandes compositores, y a hacer comprensibles muchas de las cuestiones que rodean a la música llamada clásica.
