SYNOPSIS

When did music begin? This question leads Ramón Andrés from the original encounter of humans with sound to the work of contemporary composers, from China to Mesopotamia via India, Egypt, Greece and Rome to the West today, through magic, medicine, mathematics and astronomy. “The World in Your Ear” is an extraordinarily well documented study and also an intense journey into an art that has revealed itself, century after century, to be an irreplaceable source of knowledge and delight.

Prizes and reviews: 

“Ramón Andrés is that rare thing in our times, an author of essays that are delightful and erudite”. Carles Barba, La Vanguardia.
“An imposing work. A book every music lover will want to own”. Andrés Ibáñez, ABC.
“El mundo en el oído is a concerto grosso in which nothing is missing. It has history, philosophy, astronomy, mythology, mathematics and musical theory, disciplines that form the pillars of this solid essay”. Rosa Massagué, El Periódico.
“This book is obvious proof. That the best way to approach music is unconventionally, so that it can be seen as inextricably linked to other major elements in the arts. Ramón Andrés’ book illustrates very well these links between music and religion or music and culture”. Eugenio Trías, El Mundo.
