Another book on the Fab Four? And why not? It is true that the Beatles were paid rivers of ink that has been said and everything the opposite of everything and not always with the necessary prudence and knowledge of the facts, but this latest release of Barghouti and grease the undoubted advantages for which I would strongly recommend reading. "The key component of the art of the Beatles was their extraordinary humanity." The premise is already the beacon that guides us in this exploration of the authors on a of the major phenomena of the twentieth century. Important to note that John, Paul, George and Ringo were friends, that friendship was for them a supreme value. The Beatles shared joys and sorrows and it would be enough to recover many of the claims of technicians scattered in various documents to be aware of the special chemistry that was created when the quartet entered the recording studio. Their creative course it testifies to their talents and traits that the authors call "musical syncretism", and have revised their contaminated between rock, pop, rhythm & blues, folk, jazz, ethnic music oriental classical music and much more. "Everything influenced them, influenced them at all [...] erano autentici spiriti liberi – come sa essere libero e spregiudicato solo il genio.» Lo hanno fatto in quattro, con una invidiabile sintonia di valori e di intenti, e questo ha spiazzato anche i critici di altre discipline, portati a considerare il processo della creazione artistica come un fatto individuale, rapportandolo alle dinamiche di una alienante e repressiva società capitalista.
"Plettri nelle mani di Dio" non è un saggio sistematico, una summa degli orientamenti della critica beatlesiana o una ulteriore, dettagliata biografia. Quel che rende agile ed intrigante questo libro è la sua natura sincopata: brevi capitoli a tema che possono essere piluccati also at random, according to the whim of the moment. "We were told several times before starting to write these thoughts [...] that they should settle in any order and quite honestly switchable work instinctive and self-sufficient [...]." Barghi and Grasso also speak of "puzzle of emotions" the reader and do not hide the celebratory tone that emerge here and there between the lines. The obvious admiration for the two reveal their favorite is not, however, a limit analysis. Admirable fluidity of writing, supervised and well harmonized to reconstruct the thought of two different authors for training and guidance (Barghi, born in Tuscany in 1953, is a photographer naturalista affermato in Italia e all’estero; Grasso, nato a Roma nel 1956, ex-manager aziendale, è scrittore e traduttore dal francese per Newton-Compton, Mondadori e altri); apprezzabile la loro competenza musicale: i musicofili troveranno pane per i loro denti.
"Plettri nelle mani di Dio" si rivolge ad un pubblico eterogeneo; i fan dell’ultima ora troveranno spunti per approfondire la materia; i più informati avranno l’opportunità di soffermarsi su alcuni aspetti della storia dei Beatles da un diverso punto di vista: nel capitolo " Otto anni che cambiarono la musica" i due autori tracciano un loro personale diagram of the musical production of the Fab Four. Readers in search of curiosity enjoyed reading the anecdotes on the relationship between John and Paul, or those of the quartet with George Martin, the "fifth Beatle", a character as an arranger and musician who was able to give proper support to take forward and develop the group; and still a nice tribute to John Winston (Lennon), pages on the guitars of the Beatles and their phrasing, on the talent of Paul, a refined musician whose sensitivity was able to stamp down from the role of follower who was confined to the rhythm and considerations on the impact social and economic phenomenon of the Beatles.
enjoyable and curious about the reviews on the subject of the four experimental album, part from below, as the perfect musical illiterate, and within a short time subverted the musical forms of expression then in vogue, cannibalizing themselves and the worldwide success of their first album. The ability to manipulate every "sound source", the innovative use of the recording studio, the invention of the concept album, the electronic experimentations of mellotron and moog, the use of tapes at different speeds, the so-called tape -loop. But the Beatles have always "talked" to everyone ("Democracy Beatles" is another chapter in the book), calling for at least two generations of musicians and pop artists to walk their way.
