  • Gillan, Ian, Band: Live at the Rainbow 1977 (DVD) Page 1 of 2
    Sea of Tranquility - Gillan, Ian, Band: Live at the Rainbow 1977 (DVD) Page 1 of 2 Gillan, Ian, Band: Live at the Rainbow 1977 (DVD) The Ian Gillan DVD's keep coming, this one being a 34 minute concert clip from a 1977 appearance at the Rainbow, featuring the Ian Gillan Band. These days many people tend to forget this early band of Gillan's, most remember the harder rocking Gillan that toured extensively and released a handful of powerful albums in the late 70's and early 80's. The IGB were more of a mix of jazz fusion and rock, as opposed to the heavy rock sounds of Gillan, clearly heard on this five song set featuring guitarist Ray Fenwick, keyboard player Colin Towns, bassist John Gustafson, and drummer Mark Nauseef. It's a shame that not more of the band's original material is presented here, as they had a unique sound which paired stunning jazzy arrangements with Gillan's vocal shrieks, which can be heard in full force on "Clear Air Turbulence" and "Money Lender". However, this fusion based sound does not work well at all on Deep Purple classics like "Child In Time", "Smoke on the Water" , and "Woman From Tokyo", especially with Fenwick, who is a fine guitar player in his own right but not very adept at playing songs with heavy riffs. It would have been nice to see and hear him on some other IGB original material rather than the Purple songs, but perhaps this was the only footage that survived from this show.

  • GILLAN, IAN BAND Titolo Album: DVD - Live at the Rainbow 1977 Nazionalità: Inghilterra Etichetta: Angel Air Waves Anno Di Pubblicazione: 2006
    Page 1 of 1 Autore: GILLAN, IAN BAND Titolo album: DVD - Live At The Rainbow 1977 Nazionalità: Inghilterra Etichetta: Angel Air Waves Anno di pubblicazione: 2006 Voto medio: 8 Recensito da Daniele Cutali Gli anni dell'interregno per l'urlatore porpora... Ian Gillan lasciò i Deep Purple nel 1973 proprio dopo la pubblicazione dell'acclamato album “Who Do We Think We Are?”, a causa di forti contrasti interni con il chitarrista Ritchie Blackmore. Il grande cantante urlatore formò una band tutta sua e quindi dopo tre anni pubblicò, nel 1976, il suo primo disco solista con essa. Quell'album adesso introvabile era “Child In Time” e contiene una splendida cover della famosa canzone dei Purple, meno hard rock, meno nervosa e drammatica, con un'inclinazione più sognante e malinconica eseguita con molti sapori progressivi. Esso segnò l'ascesa della prima formazione della Ian Gillan Band, rimarcata ancora nel 1977 dalla pubblicazione degli ottimi “Clear Air Turbulence” e “Scarabus”, entrambi nello stesso anno ed entrambi con un particolare mood jazzato, un groove alieno a ciò che Gillan ci aveva abituati nella sua band porpora, e con straordinarie parti sperimentali sottolineate da interventi di flauto e sax. Tutto ciò, appunto, era abbastanza fuori dalla norma per un cantante che proveniva direttamente dall'hard rock milieu, ma Gillan desiderava fortemente cambiare aria dal ruvido sound purpleiano così approdò all'esplorazione di spiagge quasi progressive. Poi nel 1978 cambiò di nuovo tutto facendo retromarcia e tornando verso i sicuri e redditizi lidi dell'hard rock inglese, cavalcando con arguzia ed esperienza il crescente successo della New Wave of British Metal costituita da Judas Priest, Saxon e Iron Maiden su tutti.

They carried a message as well as a picture. If we were on holidays, the picture might evoke something of the flavour of the place we were visiting; or the image might serve as a reflection of our humour. The message itself might express the briefest greeting or ramble endlessly, in tiny scribbles, all round the back of the card, barely leaving space for address and stamp. These particular postcards were written to my old friend, Anthony Gilbert. They are ruminations on gesture: musical gestures, gestures of movements by dancers, puppets, marionettes – evocations, responses, and, not least, the physical gestures of our hands on the keyboard as we play them 1: The first postcard is obviously a visit to a French overture.

  • Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci
    MEDIA RELEASE Mascagni | Leoncavallo | Directed by Damiano Michieletto | Conducted by Andrea Licata Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci 10 – 20 May | State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne Starring | Diego Torre | Dragana Radakovic | José Carbó | Anna Princeva Opera Australia is giving audiences a rare opportunity to experience a classic operatic double- bill when they present celebrated director Damiano Michieletto’s new Olivier Award-winning production of Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci at the Arts Centre Melbourne this autumn. This co-production with the Royal Opera House is a classic of the ‘verismo movement’ and presents a slice of life from the small villages of Southern Italy, laying bare the raw heart of each story – ordinary people, driven by betrayal, passion, jealousy and revenge, emotions stretched to the limits. Although a different composer wrote each opera, it has been a long-standing tradition that they are performed together. In this production, Michieletto implies that both happen in the same town on the same night and are inextricably linked. Opera Australia Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini has wanted to do Cavalleria Rusticana / Pagliacci for some time. “I think audiences are going to love this new production. These two operas are tremendously powerful and the cast is simply brilliant. “In particular, it is a treat to see Diego Torre perform the two challenging roles on the one night and we’re thrilled that Dragana Radakovic has returned to Australia after her fantastic performance in Handa Opera on the Harbour - Turandot. She’s the perfect choice for the intensity of Santuzza. I saw Russian singer Anna Princeva perform Così fan tutte in Switzerland and knew she’d be fabulous as Nedda in Pagliacci,” he said.
