Trzy dwory, trzy epoki czasowe, sześciu chłopców i sześć dziewcząt, prawdziwe wydarzenia, ich literacka transpozycja, a potem jeszcze filmowa na zawsze pozostaną już splecione w jedną całość o enigmatycznych „migotliwych sensach”.

Książka Szczepana Kutrowskiego, artysty rzeźbiarza, pedagoga, socjologa, badacza kultury, jest obrazem jego doświadczeń artystycznych i badawczych w kontekście kondycji człowieka i warunków, jakie dają mu możliwość samorealizacji lub nie. Poszukiwania teoretyczne Autora w powiązaniu z jego pracą artystyczną tworzą swoisty punkt spojrzenia na sztukę oraz jej wymiar społeczny, edukacyjny w wymiarze kondycji człowieka i jego samodzielności doświadczania świata przez pryzmat sztuki. Kształt sztuki jest obrazem emocjonalnym autorów prac, na który nakładają się emocje odbiorców. Sztuka jest autonomiczna, ale jednocześnie uwikłana w rzeczywistość jej po-wstania i rzeczywistość jej odbiorców. Niektóre wątki dotyczące sztuki i jej codzienności poruszone w pracy Autor ocenia bardzo krytycznie, do czego ma prawo. Skłania czytelnika do własnej oceny zjawisk społeczno-artystycznych, do refleksji, do której zmusza sztuka. [...] Książka jest pisana językiem rymowanym, ironicznym w niektórych jej fragmentach, co jest intrygujące dla czytelnika, który podejmuje dialog z Autorem.
Fragment recenzji prof. dr hab. Urszuli Szuścik
„Obserwowałem pianistów przez trzy tygodnie, pełen podziwu i współczucia dokumentując to, przez co przechodzą w decydującym punkcie swojej kariery. Niektórzy do ostatniego momentu nie opuszczali garderoby i wybiegali z niej wprost na schody prowadzące na scenę. Inni, mimo że wyszli z pokoju na korytarz, zamykali oczy, jakby chcieli być niewidzialni. Kolejni mieli swoje amulety – spinki do mankietów czy wisiorki, których dotykali do ostatniej chwili przed występem, pocierając palcami, z nadzieją, że szczęśliwy talizman odda swoją moc. Kiedy stali już w załomie za otwartymi drzwiami, w mroku tuż przy schodach prowadzących na scenę, myślałem o ich drodze do tego miejsca – latach ćwiczeń, wyrzeczeń, decyzji o udziale w Konkursie, przejściu przez eliminacje – i że teraz jest ta chwila próby, moment wdechu w ciszy przed pojawieniem się muzyki. […] Byłem nadgorliwy w swoim zadaniu, rejestrowałem więcej, niż sam oczekiwałbym tego od siebie. Chciałem utrwalić wszystkich, którzy tworzą ten Konkurs, a często pozostają w cieniu. Moje ujęcia na bieżąco wysyłane były do mediów lub uzupełniały okołokonkursowe realizacje Instytutu. Zgrywałem je nocami, a od rana rejestrowałem kolejne. Kiedy Konkurs się zakończył, mogłem spokojnie wrócić do stworzonego materiału. Podczas selekcji ujęć dostrzegłem potencjał zatrzymanych kadrów, możliwość wyeksponowania punktu kulminacyjnego sytuacji czy gestu. Wtedy przyszedł mi do głowy pomysł stworzenia książki fotograficznej, w której mógłbym wtajemniczyć słuchaczy w obrazy i emocje rozgrywające się poza sceną”.

Foreword by Bob Stanley
On a sunny Saturday morning in May 1956, a fifteen-year-old, then called Harry Webb, was mooching down Waltham Cross High Street. He heard some music blaring out of a parked car. It stopped him in his tracks.
The song was 'Heartbreak Hotel' by Elvis Presley. It sounded like nothing he had ever heard before. In that instant, the schoolboy who was destined to take the hit parade by storm as Cliff Richard fell in love with rock and roll. It gave him the thrill, the purpose and the mission that has shaped his life ever since.
Cliff lives in and for music. And with 65 years as a hitmaker, the music filling his head is a broad category. His soundtrack begins by blasting us all back into that first life-changing explosion of rock and roll, and also includes great soul stars such as Aretha Franklin, longtime colleagues like Elton John, and much-missed close friends Cilla Black and Olivia Newton-John.
This book is meaningful to Cliff on many levels. The 30 or so songs here that make up the soundtrack to his life have each moved him deeply, but it's also about the legendary artists he met, and often got to know. He shares those stories and memories with you, too.
A Head Full of Music is a vibrant personal journey for Cliff, and it's a joy to accompany him on it. Get wired for sound with him and read on.
Crafted over twenty-five years, I Want to Talk to You invites you into a conversation about literature, art and music, identity, grief and everything in between
As a young journalist, Diana Evans was catapulted overnight into the role of culture editor, going on to interview a roster of stars including Lauryn Hill, Viola Davis, Alice Walker and Edward Enninful.
In these portraits of contemporary icons, the author remains the observer. Alongside them, in pieces collected here for the first time, we also see her turning the lens on herself. We watch as she dances on stages in London and travels through Cuba. We sit beside her desk as she develops her voice as a writer, shaped by her love for Jean Rhys, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. We walk by her side as she navigates the world – her family and the midlife sandwich, reflections on fashion, yoga, the British monarchy and lockdowns, and the lasting impact of George Floyd and Grenfell.
