Name an iconic Sixties rock moment and Ellen Sander was probably there. A beautifully written, sweeping yet intimate account of America's cultural awakening in that decade. Massively entertaining -- Rolling Stone.

As a pioneering rock journalist for Hit Parader, Vogue, Saturday Review, and other publications, Ellen Sander had a backstage pass to the hottest music scenes of the 1960s. In this feast of juicy anecdotes and keen social commentary, she draws upon her professional and personal experiences to chronicle pop culture's highs and lows during the turbulent decade. Join her for weird and wild road trips with companions ranging from Yippies to the members of Led Zeppelin. Stops along the way include the folk music clubs of Greenwich Village, Haight-Ashbury in its riotous heyday, and the euphoric festivals at Monterey and Woodstock.
It is a memoir, a sourcebook, and a love letter, Sander writes, a recollection of a time, parenthesized by ambivalence and apathy, a search for the ultimate high, a generation with an irrepressible vision, its art, artists, its audience, and the substance of its statement. This expanded edition of Trips adds The Plaster Casters of Chicago, Sander's seminal piece on groupie culture, the lengthy Concerts and Conversations, as well as a new Preface and chapter postscripts.

Simply one of the best pieces of rock reportage ever written. -- Los Angeles Review of Books.

Piano Sonata No. 4 from the years 1962-1964 is dedicated to the memory of Fiser's friend, the pianist Antonin Jemelik, who died tragically. As a tribute to their friendship the composer incorporated into the introduction a quotation from their favourite work, Piano Sonata No. 10, Op. 70, by Alexander Scriabin. The tragedy of the death of the composer's friend pervades the emotionally intense passage of unison octaves which follows the three-bar quotation. From a compositional point of view this work is a masterpiece of the mid-Sixties. Written as one movement, the piece is divided into numerous mutually contrasting segments which themselves are clearly grouped into two sections, exposition and development. The individual themes are introduced in the first section and thematically expanded in the second section. The motif treatment lies almost exclusively in the fragmenting or curtailing of the theme, or in the use of a combination of several themes, for the most part brief and eloquent. This compositional method, together with a clear-cut manner of execution, mainly semitonal melody and sharply contrastive dynamics, lends force and transparency to the piece. Piano Sonata No. 4 was completed in 1964 together with Symphonic Fresco, Concerto da camera for piano and orchestra and Fifteen Prints after Durer's Apocalypse and has earned its rightful place alongside them as masterpieces of Fiser's oeuvre.

The work was first performed by Pavel Stepan in Prague's Rudolfinum in 1965. The new setting for this piece is based on the single edition to date (Panton, 1969); only with regard to a few inconsistencies in the score was it necessary to consult the composer's manuscript (kept at the National Museum - Czech Museum of Music).

This late 1960's release from the Rascals is an upbeat but impassioned plea for tolerance and freedom. “People everywhere just wanna be free.” The lyrics resonate as strongly today as they did then. And the rock beat is strong.

Angesichts der großen Anzahl an Beatles-Bearbeitungen war es eine Herausforderung für Peter Kleine Schaars, die bekannten Melodien in ein völlig neues Gewand zu stecken. So kommen nun All You Need Is Love und With a Little Help from My Friends als Swing-Märsche einher; Michelle klingt fast wie eine völlig neu komponierte Ballade, während When I'm Sixty Four im Dixie Swing-Stil gespielt wird. A Hard Day's Night wurde in ein Funk-Thema mit einem Samba-Zwischenspiel verwandelt, Let It Be in einen langsamen Marsch und Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da schließlich in einen Rock Beat. Einfach brillant!

A Hard Day's Night • All You Need is Love • Let It Be • Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da • When I am Sixty Four • With A Little Help From My Friends • MichelleLa musique des Beatles reste toujours aussi neuve et riche, et symbolise plus que jamais l'insouciance et la créativité des sixties. Albums et tournées triomphales se sont succédés : chaque apparition publique du groupe provoqua des émeutes. Avec Brilliant Beatles, vous transcenderez le public.
