Just as he marked the history of music, Bob Dylan will surely leave an unforgettable mark in Vienna, where he arrives with his priceless musical treasure.
Bob Dylan is a name we all know. Resounding, legendary, sometimes encouraging, because the American musician, singer and writer, who in the 1960s composed his best compositions one after the other, is today a role model for many musical performers, both old cats and rising stars.
Dylan began to assert his mission twenty years after his birth, when in the sixties many ears were caught by his absorbing lyrics, strongly colored by political, social and philosophical questions and dilemmas, through which he explored the traditions and styles of American music, from folk to blues. Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin' thus became the eternal anthems of human rights fighters and opponents of the war in Vietnam, and his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone, which also got its first official video cover after 48 years, radically changed the parameters of popular music in 1965.
Dylan's music box spans 64 albums, 199 singles and EPs and 101 compilations. During his long and prolific career, he sold over 100 million records around the world and won numerous awards, including a Grammy, a Golden Globe and an Oscar, and exactly two years ago he also received America's highest award, the Medal of Freedom.
