Zustand: As New. : En 'Instrumental', James Rhodes comparte su pasión por la música como su salvavidas, el hilo que lo ha sostenido a través de una vida de abuso y agitación. Desde escuchar a Rachmaninov en bucle como un adolescente traumatizado hasta descubrir un adagio de Bach en una sala de hospital, Rhodes sobrevivió a sus demonios a través de encuentros con milagros musicales. Estos encuentros, junto con un encuentro casual con un extraño, lo inspiraron a convertirse en el renombrado concertista de piano que es hoy. 'Instrumental' es un libro de memorias que es a la vez cándido, audaz y sorprendentemente divertido, incluso en sus momentos más oscuros. También es un tributo apasionado a los poderes terapéuticos de la música, entrelazando datos fascinantes sobre cómo funciona la música clásica y sobre las vidas extraordinarias de algunos de los grandes compositores. Explica por qué y cómo la música tiene el potencial de transformar todas nuestras vidas.
