anna katharina - saitensprung (2009)

With her new creation, "Saitensprung", ANNA KATHARINA continues ambitiously on this quest with creative ease and effortless skill. Supported by the two musicians Specki T.D. (drums and percussion') and Michael Ende (bass), both from LETZTEN INSTANZ, and the renowned producer, Günther Gebauer, she creates her dream of combining "old music with contemporary ways". Here too, just as with the predecessor "Neuland", her own compositions are blended with newly arranged classics to form a furious mix of classical music, rock, pop, jazz and folk.

Her extraordinary feel for melodies and arrangements is expressed not only in the three classical pieces that have literally undergone rejuvenation through passages composed in a contemporary style. But her own compositions are brimming over with her creativity and a melange of styles. "Captain Islay", right from the very beginning, with its intoxicating melodies showcases the many facets of this artistic violinist. It capitates the audience from the first notes, sometimes wild, sometimes melancholically tender.

Edward Grieg's, "In der Halle des Bergkönigs" ("In the Hall of the Mountain King") from the Peer Gynt Suite surprises us with the modern sound effects that fit skilfully into this classical piece. The Eastern-inspired "Nimbu Pani", in which she plays her second instrument, the hurdy-gurdy, leading her audience's thoughts to India with its exotic rhythms and proving that ANNA KATHARINA has not only mastered the violin and the viola.

The impressively fresh yet respectful interpretation of Sarasate's "Zigeunerweisen" - a masterpiece where violinist wants to show off their abilities - leaves no doubt about ANNA KATHARINA's skill, her expectations of herself and her enormous musical talent.

The Old High German Minnesong "Loibere Risen", accompanied by the hurdy-gurdy, inspires the listener with its tender and affectionate violin with a drum in the background. But even the folk fiddle has found its place on "Saitensprung". "Flying Cow" encourages the audience to dance and clap along cheerfully. ANNA KATHARINA's homage to the large world of soundtracks, especially the James Bond classic, is mirrored in "Geschüttelt - nicht gerührt" ("Shaken, Not Stirred").

Johann Sebastian Bach's "Partita in E Major" undergoes a wonderful rejuvenation: drums, bass and violin take the audience onto an emotional rollercoaster from dreamily solemn to compellingly racy. "Close Your Eyes" with its complex, sacred choir and Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", sung soulfully by the artist, are the emotionally agitating conclusion of her second solo CD.

"Saitensprung" impresses not only with enormous stylistic spectrum and playful perfection. It is also enlivened with ANNA KATHARINA's passionate love of music that is expressed everywhere by the finely designed artwork and affectionate implementation.

elaine paige - encore (1996)

London's premier theater diva takes center stage in Encore, a career retrospective covering selections from Elaine Paige's most famous roles (Cats, Evita, and Chess), her 1993 salute to legendary chanteuse Edith Piaf, and West End hits Jesus Christ Superstar and Les Misérables. Released in 1995 around the time she took the role of Norma Desmond in London (which she eventually took to Broadway), the 53-minute album also includes three of Sunset Boulevard's biggest hits as well as two selections ("I Dreamed a Dream," "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina") recorded live for BBC Radio in 1993. For those more used to Paige's brassier American counterparts, this is an excellent introduction. Fans, of course, will need no convincing to pick up this CD. --David Horiuchi (amazon)

Linda returns to her Broadway roots on this release. The 12 tracks span roughly the last 50 years in cinema, from Mancini's "Charade," the title tune of the 1963 movie starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, to "Falling Slowly," the Academy Award winner from Once, the 2007 Irish musical film. The originals may be familiar and beloved, but Eder and her band dramatically reworked the arrangements, rendering the songs in an intimate, fireside style. Other highlights include an aching version of Yvonne Elliman's 1977 disco hit "If I Can't Have You," from Saturday Night Fever and a faithful rendition of "Valley of the Dolls," the theme of the 1968 flick that Dionne Warwick turned into a No. 2 pop hit.
