Эндрю Ллойд Уэббер удостоен награды за вклад в музыку
Популярный британский композитор и автор мюзиклов Эндрю Ллойд Уэббер удостоен премии Classical Brit Awards за выдающийся вклад в музыку, сообщает BBC News.
Награда будет вручена музыканту, которому 22 марта исполнилось 60 лет, на торжественной церемонии в лондонском "Альберт-Холле" 8 мая.
Для автора мюзиклов "Кошки", "Призрак оперы", "Иисус Христос - суперзвезда", "Эвита" это далеко не первая награда. В числе прочих в коллекции Уэббера есть три премии "Грэмми", "Оскар", "Золотой глобус" и "Эмми".
Classical Brit Awards является "классическим" аналогом главной музыкальной премии Великобритании Brit Awards. Она была учреждена в 2000 году на фоне роста продаж дисков классической музыки в стране. В нынешнем году среди прочих на премии Classical Brit Awards претендуют россиянка Анна Нетребко, британский тенор Алфи Бо, канадская пианистка Анджела Хьюитт и шотландская скрипачка Никола Бенедетти.
Ирландская рок-группа U2 намерена переиздать три первых своих альбома, сообщает Billboard.
Пластинки "Boy"(1980), "October" (1981) и "War" (1983) появятся в продаже 22 июля. Каждый из альбомов будет дополнен виниловой копией, а также двумя дисками с раритетными и концертными записями того периода.
Напомним, что осенью прошлого года группа подобным образом переиздала свой классический альбом 1987 года "The Joshua Tree", добавив к нему бонусом второй CD и DVD.
Между тем музыканты вернулись в студию в родном Дублине, где вместе с продюсерами Брайаном Ино и Дэниэлем Лануа продолжили запись своего нового, двенадцатого альбома. Музыканты планируют выпустить диск до конца 2008 года, а в следующем году отправиться в мировое турне.

Все остальное я как раз понимаю. С "бип-бип" все ясно, но где это пресловутое "чуть-чуть"?

The Story Of Rock's Lost Genre!
Back in 1976, nobody really knew that there was an old wave of British Heavy Metal. But within 2 years of their formation, Iron Maiden had spearheaded what came to be abbreviated the NWOBHM, and as with punk the year before, a new generation of Rock musicians bought in a new wave of the genre - and in the process made loud, raw, heavy rock the global phenomenon it is today. For the first time this film investigates this New Wave - the bands, the records, the media and the series of unconnected events that led to this astonishing, durable and still hugely relevant form which is even heard today in virtually every rock record released. Focusing on Maiden and the other pivotal bands of the time, such as Saxon, Samson, Praying Mantis, Diamond Head, Tygers Of Pan Tang and many others, this DVD is the ultimate expose of a style that may not get as much press as Punk, but is equally as relevant to the music of the second millennium.

The Third Installment In Chrome Dreams' History Of Dylan!
By the end of 1978 most music fans - whether dedicated worshippers, casual listeners or outright dissenters - knew that Bob Dylan was nothing if not unpredictable. But nobody could have guessed what was coming next. Dylan's adherence to Christian fundamentalism - and the three albums he released and shows he performed in its wake - assisted greatly in making the 1980s his most controversial decade. Loved by some, detested by others, Bob both lost and gained fans via this change of faith and the single-minded beliefs he now appeared to behold. But by 1984 his views had softened somewhat and during the rest of the decade he released albums and performed gigs of mixed quality, but generally featuring standout tracks - many now revered as Dylan classics - amongst the often less inspired cuts. But despite it all, this period of Dylan¿s life and career is one of the most controversial, fascinating and misunderstood of all.
This film reviews the years from late 1978 to the release of 1989's Oh Mercy - an album that was seen by many as a huge return to form With the aid of rare Dylan footage, live and studio versions of the most pivotal songs, exclusive interviews with his closest allies from that time, contributions from Dylan experts, biographers and other commentators, and many other features, this film provides the most entertaining, enlightening and detailed document of the 1980s according to Bob Dylan, ever produced.
