Richard Ehrlich: Face the Music by Daniel Levitin

Can one capture, in photographic portraiture, the intense inner depth of emotion experienced while listening to music of one's choice? In 1872 Darwin published his seminal treatise The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals which intersected with the dawn of photography. While the study of physiognomy has limited scientific validity, it nevertheless provides the impetus for linking portraiture and emotion. If "the face is the window to one's soul," capturing the rhapsody of emotion through facial expression provides a unique window into each artist's inner being. In this book, forty legendary musicians from a range of genres-including Quincy Jones, Ringo Starr, Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck, Wayne Shorter, Iggy Pop, Esperanza Spalding, Herb Alpert, Sir Graham Nash, Philip Glass, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Emmylou Harris-were photographed while listening to three pieces of music of their choice. (With only two exceptions, they chose music of other musicians rather than their own.) Music, painting and photography-indeed all art forms-share a common nexus for experiencing feeling, and are inextricably linked in contextualizing human emotion. Face the Music helps redefine the profound and transcendent influence music has on human emotion.

Richard Ehrlich, an American expat, has written on food and drink for the Guardian, the Financial Times, the Independent on Sunday, Time Out, Good Housekeeping, and the Telegraph, among other publications. He has written five cookbooks, including the well-reviewed kitchen companion The Green Kitchen (also published by Kyle Books), and has won two Glenfiddich Awards for his work in the Independent on Sunday. He's also the author of 80 Recipes for Your Breadmaker, another book in the series.
