2SergeK:

Мерси!;)

ВЕЩЬ!

Да, на Уотерса уж совсем какой-то скучный и невзрачный билетик...
Билет в танц-партер ;)

А билетики летят, сегодня перед концертом посмотрел секторов осталось много меньше, вот что значит разумная ценовая политика, не то что на Уоторсе, где в ход идет и диск в подарок и золотая бочка пива, а воз поныне там.

Columbia Records Announce The Release Of 'Tony Bennett: Duets/An American Classic' In Honor Of the Singer's 80th Birthday

Columbia Records Announce The Release Of 'Tony Bennett: Duets/An American Classic' In Honor Of the Singer's 80th Birthday...

Tony Bennett will mark his 80th Birthday on August 3 this year, launching the beginning of a multi-tiered celebration honoring this milestone. RPM Records/Columbia Records will release a new recording, 'Tony Bennett: Duets/An American Classic', which will be in-stores internationally on September 26. Recorded live in the studio, the CD features Tony performing duets of his best loved songs with many of the top names in music: Bono, Michael Buble, Elvis Costello, Dixie Chicks, Juanes, Billy Joel, Diana Krall, k.d. lang, John Legend, Paul McCartney, George Michael, Sting, Barbra Streisand, James Taylor and Stevie Wonder. Instrumental musical guests on the album include trumpeter Chris Botti and violinist Pinchas Zukerman.

'Tony Bennett: Duets/An American Classic' was recorded in three cities earlier this year: Capitol Studios in Los Angeles; Bennett Studios in Englewood, NJ and Abbey Road Studios in London. Producer Phil Ramone supervised the live sessions in which each guest artist performed side by side with Bennett. Tony's touring quartet provided the accompaniment for the recording sessions with additional orchestrations added with musical arrangements by Jorge Calandrelli. Bennett's sons are involved in the project: Danny Bennett, who is the singer's manager, is the recording's Executive Producer and Dae Bennett is the audio engineer.

For many of the guest artists, the "live" approach to the sessions was a new and thrilling experience. Despite the existence of technology that allows artists to record duets without being together physically, it was essential to Bennett's recording style that each artist perform and record directly with Tony.

"I was on the road all last year and there is nothing like that live dynamic, so working live in the studio with Tony has been a great experience," commented John Legend, who received the "Best New Artist" Grammy Award the night before recording his duet with Tony. "I would like to try that for my own recordings."

The CD's 18 songs, each selected by Bennett, are integral elements from Tony's hit catalog such as 'I Wanna Be Around' (with Bono), 'Because of You' (with k.d. lang), 'The Shadow of Your Smile' (with Juanes), 'Cold, Cold, Heart' (with Tim McGraw) and 'Rags to Riches' (with Elton John). Also featured are some of Bennett's personal favorites including 'Smile' (with Barbra Streisand), 'Sing You Sinners' (with John Legend), 'The Very Thought of You' (with Paul McCartney) and 'Are You Havin' Any Fun?' (with Elvis Costello).

Appropriately, the recording's only vocal solo showcases Bennett performing his signature song, 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco', accompanied only by Bill Charlap on piano. "Each duet artist brought their own soul and sensibility to their song performance and it was a wonderful gift for my birthday to be able to record with these talented musicians," commented Bennett.

'Tony Bennett: Duets/An American Classic' is part of an overall campaign in honor of Bennett's 80th birthday. Sponsored by Target, the first event will be a star-studded party to be held on August 3 in New York City. That same date will see the release of the CD's first single to a variety of radio formats. Extensive multi-media corporate sponsored campaigns with Target and Yahoo! will be implemented for the CD launch. Target will offer added value items, including an edition of the album including several additional duets as well as a "making of" DVD. Darrell Tucker, vice president of merchandising for Target stated, "The Target Corporation is honored to partner with Tony Bennett on the occasion of his 80th birthday and this exceptional 'Duets' CD project. He is an entertainer of singular artistry and a person of impeccable integrity. We are thrilled to have this opportunity to be a part of the celebration."

Later this fall, a prime-time network special, also sponsored by Target, featuring Tony and special guest artists will be aired. Legacy Recordings is slated to release a limited-edition boxed set collection as well as reissues of Tony Bennett titles previously unavailable on CD throughout the fall of 2006 and into 2007 along with the complete digitization of Bennett's entire catalog. A documentary on Tony's life and career, executive produced by Clint Eastwood, is in the works for 2007, as is an art book of Tony's original paintings.

Tony Bennett, who first joined Columbia Records in 1950, has been signed to the label longer than any other recording artist in its history. With over 50 million records sold worldwide, more than 100 recordings to his credit and thirteen Grammy Awards, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a Grammy Album of the Year Award, Bennett's career is unparalleled in the industry.

"Tony Bennett never fails to bring a rare and special artistry to his music while showing an incredible generosity of spirit toward the world and his fans," said Steve Barnett, Chairman, Columbia Records. "It's an honor and a privilege to wish Tony a very happy 80th birthday and to thank him for giving us the gift of so much magic and so much music over the years."

Sting: Songs from the Labyrinth

This autumn Sting ventures into “new” musical territory with an album featuring the music of acclaimed Elizabethan songwriter, John Dowland (1563–1626). Sting is joined on this recording by much-admired lutenist Edin Karamazov, in what he describes as “a soundtrack to Dowland’s life in words and music.” Songs from the Labyrinth will appear on Deutsche Grammophon, the world’s most celebrated classical music record label.

In the early 1980s, Sting was first introduced to the music of John Dowland and has confessed that his music has been “gently haunting” him for more than twenty years. “About two years ago my long-time guitarist, Dominic Miller, gave me a gift that he’d had made for me, a lute – a sixteenth-century instrument with lots of strings. I became fascinated with it and immersed myself in lute music. It rekindled an interest I’ve had for a long time in the works of John Dowland, who wrote a number of fantastic lute songs. Dowland was really the first English singer/songwriter that we know of, and so many of us owe our living to this man.”

John Dowland’s life was a colorful one. Before becoming court lutenist to James I in 1612, he had spent most of his career abroad in the service of kings, dukes and princes throughout Europe, where he was recognized as one of the greatest musicians of his day. In 1595 Dowland wrote a letter to Queen Elizabeth I’s Secretary of State, Sir Robert Cecil, pleading his allegiance to the English throne in the hope of an invitation back to England and into the Royal Court. He would have to wait a further seventeen years before his wish came true. It is extracts from this extraordinary letter that Sting incorporates into this album as short recitations, recreating a flavor of Dowland’s life and times.

“This project was never really meant to be a record. It was a labour of love. I wanted to learn these songs, and out of curiosity, Edin and I just kept going. I think it only became a record when we decided to put extracts of this letter in. Those that are familiar with John Dowland normally think of him as being this melancholy, doom-laden character; but he can write songs that are absolutely joyful – full of passion and happiness. He has it all.”

Sting continues, “I’m not a trained singer for this repertoire, but I’m hoping that I can bring some freshness to these songs that perhaps a more experienced singer wouldn’t give. For me they are pop songs written around 1600 and I relate to them in that way; beautiful melodies, fantastic lyrics and great accompaniments.”

Интересно, он на концерте покажет нам свое мастерство на лютне?

2Primal Scream:
Неа! Он покажет хиты!

2Primal Scream:

>Интересно, он на концерте покажет нам свое мастерство

Он нам напомнит, как выглядели Полис…

Вообще какой-то подозрительный тур, как мне кажется. Нового альбома нет, играет только хиты. В свете его новых увлечений, может это конец Стинга как мы его знаем?

2Primal Scream:

>Вообще какой-то подозрительный тур

Человек решил немного размяться, деньжат заработать, нового хорошего материала нет, вот и нашел повод. Но должен признать, что нынешний состав и аранжировки мне нравятся много больше, чем во время его прошлого визита, когда с ним был Крис Бати.

2Primal Scream:

>какой-то подозрительный тур, как мне кажется.
>Нового альбома нет, играет только хиты.

А на это многие "старики" потянули..

Мэй и Тэйлор из Queen, Уотерс etc

2Primal Scream:
>может это конец Стинга как мы его знаем?
И не надейся!
