  • Mark Knopfler 2015 Veranstaltungsort Westfalenhalle Einlass Ca. 18:30
    17.06.2015 Mark Knopfler 2015 Veranstaltungsort Westfalenhalle Einlass ca. 18:30 Uhr Beginn 20:00 Uhr Ende 22:45 Uhr Veranstalter Dirk Becker Entertainment GmbH Mark Knopfler hat der populären Musik mit einigen ihrer besten Songs immer wieder wichtige Impulse geliefert. Als genialer Gitarrist, Sänger und Songschreiber von Dire Straits, die sicher zu den größten Rockbands aller Zeiten gehören, erlangte er Weltruhm. Seine neun Soloalben knüpfen an die von ihm begründete Songtradition an und verbinden beide Schaffensperioden zu begeisternden Live-Erlebnissen. Mit rund 120 Millionen Alben zählt er zu einem illustren Kreis von Interpreten, die überragender Erfolg und bleibende Bedeutung auszeichnet. Auf den mehrfachen Grammy-Gewinner trifft die Bezeichnung Superstar wirklich zu, obwohl er sich nie als solcher geriert. Seine Musik bezeichnete ein Kritiker treffend als „Gegenentwurf zum hektischen Popzirkus, der selbst zum Welterfolg avancierte“. Mark Knopfler präsentiert seine aktuellen Songs, eine Auswahl aus seinen Soloalben und selbstverständlich einige markante Hits der 20-jährigen Dire Straits-Ära auf einer Europatournee, die ihn auch nach Deutschland führt. Salem, Hamburg, Dortmund, Mainz, Mannheim, Köln, Bad Kissingen, Stuttgart, Hannover, Berlin, Leipzig und München sind vom 31. Mai bis 11. Juli die Stationen. Sein neues Album „Tracker“ wird Anfang des Jahres veröffentlicht. Mark Knopfler, der kreative Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Dire Straits, wird von vielen Experten als Schlüsselinterpret der Rockgeschichte eingestuft. Er prägte einen einzigartigen Gitarrenstil und den für ihn typischen Sprechgesang, der dennoch eindrucksvolle melodische Züge trägt. Er gilt als ironischer Geschichtenerzähler, der ein Schicksal in drei bis vier Strophen auf den Punkt bringen kann. Sein Œuvre spiegelt Vielseitigkeit und Schaffenskraft des in Glasgow geborenen Musikers, der in Englisch promovierte, Vorlesungen hielt und seine akademische Karriere schließlich gegen die Gitarre eintauschte.

    Scottish film locations – background information ‘Landscape as Inspiration: Scottish Locations in Literary Work and Film’ To view the full project visit the Scran website at www.scran.ac.uk and search for 0919 in project. "Chariots Of Fire" 1 Looking over the West Sands, St. Andrews, Fife, as featured in the film "Chariots Of Fire" (1981). It is on the beach pictured here that the British Olympic Running team are seen training in preparation for the 1924 Olympics in Paris. It is an example where the Scottish landscape is used to realise a place that is elsewhere- the scene is actually meant to be Broadstairs in Kent. "Chariots Of Fire" is the true story of two British track athletes competing in the 1924 Olympic Games. Eric Liddell is a devout Scottish missionary who runs for God whilst Harold Abrahams is a Jewish student who runs for fame and to escape prejudice for his religious beliefs. Extensive use of Scottish locations were used in the making of the film. The 1981 film, "Chariots of Fire" was directed by Hugh Hudson. It starred Ben Cross as Harold Abrahams and Ian Charleson as Eric Liddell. It was a critical and box office. The opening and closing scenes of the runners on the beach at St. Andrews have become an iconic movie moment, helped by the triumphal background music by Vangelis. ©Neil Sinclair "Gregory's Girl" Looking over a football pitch to Abronhill High School, Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, as featured in the film, "Gregory's Girl" (1981). This film tells the story of gangling schoolboy, Gregory, who is just beginning to find out about girls.
