«Muchos sentimos en aquellos momentos que se gestaba algo muy grande: una serie de músicos geniales estaba transfigurando un género de música popular en un vehículo de alto poder… pero en México sólo José Agustín lo vio y lo dejó escrito con increíble claridad. Un adelantado.» -Alberto Blanco, del prólogo
La nueva música clásica
es una exploración personal y profunda sobre el rock: la revolución musical que comenzó en los años cincuenta con el rock ’n’ roll, le dio la vuelta al mundo en los sesenta montada en los hombros de los Beatles y transformó para siempre la música popular con las experimentaciones del movimiento hippie, más los que le siguieron.
Esta crítica-crónica, hoy tan clásica como la música sobre la que reflexiona, fue escrita por José Agustín en dos versiones, ambas con el mismo título y el mismo objetivo ―examinar a detalle la esencia de la música―, pero separadas por el tiempo: la primera en 1968, en el auge de la década dorada del rock, y la segunda en 1985, cuando su permanencia en el gusto universal estaba más que asegurada. Con esta edición integral, revisada y complementada, celebramos la música como vehículo de expresión artística y a José Agustín como un autor visionario.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Many of us felt in those moments that something big was brewing: a series of great musicians were transforming a popular music genre in a high-power vehicle... but in Mexico, only José Agustín saw it and wrote about it with unbelievable clarity. He was ahead of his time.” —Alberto Blanco, from the prologue
New Classical Music
is a personal and profound exploration about rock: the music revolution that began in the nineteen fifties with rock’n’roll, circled the globe in the nineteen sixties on top of The Beatles, and transformed popular music forever with the experimentations of the hippie movement and those that followed.
This review/commentary, a classic today as the music it reflects on, was written by José Agustín in two versions, both under the same title and with the same purpose—to thoroughly examine the essence of music—but separated by time: the first in 1968, at the peak of the golden decade of rock, and the second in 1985, when its permanence in universal taste was more than assured. With this complete edition, revised and complemented, we celebrate music as vehicle of artistic expression and José Agustín as a visionary author.
