À propos de cet audio

Roger Scruton is a polymath. He has written authoritatively on a huge range of subjects from the environment to wine, from cosmology to the Middle East. He is also an accomplished musician (organ and piano) and a composer of works including an opera and a song cycle. This is Scruton’s second major work on music for Bloomsbury - the first being Understanding Music (Continuum, 2009).

In this new book he turns again to the meaning of tonality and sound. His abstract, somewhat mystical argument on these topics includes slashing attacks on Marxist reductionism, on the authenticity of Early Music, on rival aestheticians such as Adorno and on sentimentality and cliché in any form. As with Understanding Music, he also expounds his views on pop music in a most satisfying and provocative new work.

Roger Scruton's aesthetic views may not always align with mine, but they are conveyed with clarity, passion, and lucidity, enhanced by the narrator's exuberance. This book centers on the Western classical tradition, advocating for a return to melody in classical music and rejecting (but not outright) the avant-garde dominance of abstract, unlistenable forms. Scruton champions composers who seek to move their audiences emotionally, presenting a thoughtful, if conservative, argument. Ultimately, he leaves the future of music in the hands of composers, offering a reflective and enriching read that left me feeling intellectually nourished.
