The Top 40 Annual 1988 by James Masterton Pdf

This was the year that several new eras in music began. The year of the first ever home-grown house music hits, the year Kylie Minogue made her musical debut and the year some of the dominant sounds of the next decade began to make their mark. The echoes of 1988 still resonate in the background of many of today's biggest chart hits. Now you can read the full story behind every one of the biggest hits of 1988. Leading chart historian James Masterton takes you through a detailed account of every act and every hit single to reach the UK Top 40 during the course of the year. Inside you will learn: Who Pete Waterman described as "my favourite idea for a pop group ever"; Which Belgian was the brains behind two of the biggest 'British' house music hits of the year; Just who was New Order's Bernard Sumner imitating on "Fine Time"; Who first performed the biggest selling single of the year on television; Which Dutchman dragged a famous 1960s hit kicking and screaming back into the Top 10 and in the process its singer back from Spanish retirement; Who was the first person to record Kylie's second hit; Which acid house hit ended up using footage filmed for another hit single as its hastily produced video. All this and much more can be found in this essential guide for any music fan of the 1980s.

Shostakovich and Stalin by Solomon Volkov Pdf

“Music illuminates a person and provides him with his last hope; even Stalin, a butcher, knew that.” So said the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, whose first compositions in the 1920s identified him as an avant-garde wunderkind. But that same singularity became a liability a decade later under the totalitarian rule of Stalin, with his unpredictable grounds for the persecution of artists. Solomon Volkov—who cowrote Shostakovich’s controversial 1979 memoir, Testimony—describes how this lethal uncertainty affected the composer’s life and work. Volkov, an authority on Soviet Russian culture, shows us the “holy fool” in Shostakovich: the truth speaker who dared to challenge the supreme powers. We see how Shostakovich struggled to remain faithful to himself in his music and how Stalin fueled that struggle: one minute banning his work, the next encouraging it. We see how some of Shostakovich’s contemporaries—Mandelstam, Bulgakov, and Pasternak among them—fell victim to Stalin’s manipulations and how Shostakovich barely avoided the same fate. And we see the psychological price he paid for what some perceived as self-serving aloofness and others saw as rightfully defended individuality. This is a revelatory account of the relationship between one of the twentieth century’s greatest composers and one of its most infamous tyrants.
