Songs By David Byrne/ Paul Simon/ Laurie Anderson/ S.vega

Description:

Es gibt nicht viele semi-klassische Alben, die bei voller LautstÃ¤rke auf einem Roadtrip gehÃ¶rt werden kÃ¶nnen. Aber "Liquid Days" ist eines davon. Die Songs wurden von Paul Simon, Suzanne Vega, David Byrne und Laurie Andersen geschrieben und mit den pulsierenden, emotionalen Orchestrierungen von Philip Glass ergÃ¤nzt. Die SÃ¤nger sind eine ebenso dynamische Mischung, mit Linda Ronstadt und The Roches als die wohl unerwartetsten Mitwirkenden. Die drei Opern aus Glass' "Trilogie" sind etwas Besonderes. Die Auswahl selbst, das Tempo der Sequenzierung und absolute Top- -Performances schaffen ein herausragendes Album. Glass' beste Werke finden sich in seinen Opernpartituren; "Einstein on The Beach", "Satyagraha" und "Akhnaten". - SONGS BY DAVID BYRNE/PAUL SIMON/LAURIE ANDERSON/S.VEGA

CD reissue. There aren't many semi-classical albums that can be played at full volume on a road trip. "Liquid Days" is one. Songs written by Paul Simon, Suzanne Vega, David Byrne and Laurie Andersen with the pulsing, emotive orchestrations of Philip Glass. The vocalists are an equally eclectic mixture, with perhaps Linda Ronstadt and The Roches the most unexpected performers. The three operas comprising Glass' 'Trilogy' are something special. The selections themselves, the pacing of the sequencing, and absolutely top-drawer performances make this a standout album. Glass' best work may be found in his opera scores; 'Einstein On The Beach,' 'Satyagraha,' and ' Akhnaten'. This album presents the cream of the cream.
