  • Nigel Kennedy 2013
    E.ON presents: 10. VeszprémFest 16-20 July 20 13 16 July 17 July 18 July 19 July 20 July Diana Marcus Paco Nigel Craig Krall Miller de Lucía Kennedy David Main sponsor veszpremfest.hu Veszprem Castle In case of rain: Veszprem Arena Diana Krall Diana Krall's extraordinary new album Glad Rag Doll (2012, Verve Records) is an exhilarating 16 July and adventurous exploration of new sounds, new instrumentation and new musicians. It stars a singer and piano player, filled with mischief, humour and a renewed sense of tenderness and intimacy. "We all just went in there as if the songs were written yesterday. I didn't want to make a period piece or nostalgia record", said Krall. In fact, these are songs that Krall has spent a lifetime contemplating. Both her childhood home and her current address are stacked with 78rpm records and song folios filled with precious and unpolished gems, songs that have not worn out their lustre from repetition. If any of these songs could be identified as "20's or 30's music," then they are 20's or 30's songs as imagined for the 21st Century. The same could be said for a startling rendition of the Doc Pomus classic, Lonely Avenue , first cut in the 1950s. The contemplative, contemporary reading of the old Gene Austin recording of Let It Rain finds a sympathetic echo in Krall's exquisite rendition of Buddy and Julie Miller's more recent ballad of spiritual longing, Wide River To Cross . Krall was born in 1964 in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
