About the Book

Me violaron a los seis años.
Me internaron en un psiquiátrico.
Fui drogadicto y alcohólico.
Me intenté suicidar cinco veces.
Perdí la custodia de mi hijo.
Pero no voy a hablar de eso.
Voy a hablar de música.
Porque Bach me salvó la vida.
Y yo amo la vida.

James Rhodes es uno de los más eminentes concertistas de piano de la actualidad y un gran renovador de la música clásica. 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.
About the Author: Para entender la vida de James Rhodes, es tan importante saber que trabajó en un Burger King o como hombre de negocios en la City londinense, como que ahora es uno de los principales renovadores de la (así llamada) música clásica y un prestigioso columnista en The Guardian. Para entender su éxito en España, basta con saber que Instrumental, su libro de memorias, donde explica los abusos infantiles que padeció y ensalza el poder sanador de la música, lleva vendidos más de 100.000 ejemplares. También ha actuado en festivales tan alejados de su música como Sónar o Primera Persona. Pero, en realidad, el éxito no es tan importante como lo que se hace con él: Rhodes ha dirigido su fama a visibilizar y fomentar el debate alrededor de las violaciones a niños, las enfermedades mentales o el suicidio, ofreciendo charlas TED y conferencias en actos de Save the Children. En 2016, con Toca el piano, enseñó a sus lectores a interpretar un preludio de Bach en tan solo seis semanas.
