4Me violaron a los seis a os.
Me internaron en un psiqui trico.
Fui drogadicto y alcoh lico.
Me intent suicidar cinco veces.
Perd la custodia de mi hijo.
Pero no voy a hablar de eso.
Voy a hablar de m sica.
Porque Bach me salv la vida.
Y yo amo la vida. James Rhodes es uno de los m s eminentes concertistas de piano de la actualidad y un gran renovador de la m sica cl sica. Ha protagonizado documentales para la BBC y Channel 4, escribe en The Guardian y ofrece recitales en todo el mundo
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "A mesmeric combination of vivid, keen, obsessive precision and raw, urgent energy." --Zoe Williams, Guardian
"Thrilling and harrowing . . . Unsurpassed and unsurpassable." --Sunday Times
James Rhodes's passion for music has been his lifeline--the thread that has held through a life encompassing abuse and turmoil. But whether listening to Rachmaninov on a loop as a traumatized teenager or discovering a Bach adagio while in a hospital ward, he survived his demons by encounters with musical miracles. These--along with a chance encounter with a stranger--inspired him to become the renowned concert pianist he is today. Instrumental is a memoir like no other: unapologetically candid, boldly outspoken, and surprisingly funny--shot through with a mordant wit, even in its darkest moments. A feature film adaptation of Rhodes's incredible story is now in development from Monumental Pictures and BBC Films, following a competitive bidding war involving major U.S. and U.K. companies. 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.
