Фильм Bacanal de Adolescentes 1982

Limited numbered four CD box set reissue of the 1982 second album from the British new wave band. The album featured the UK hit singles "Streetplayer (Mechanik)" and "Love Shadow", as well as the tracks "Whitestuff", "Prodigal Son" and "You Only Left Your Picture", which were featured on the show Miami Vice.

Kiri Te Kanawa does well by these songs, avoiding the billowing excesses of sentiment that in other hands (or vocal chords) can make them sound much too soggy. Although Berlioz gathered them all together under the present title, all of the songs were composed at different times for different singers, so they aren't really a cycle at all. I seldom listen to all of them at once, and you should feel free to take them in any order that suits you. "The Death of Cleopatra" is an early cantata that perfectly suits Jessye Norman's stately delivery. She's always at her best playing royalty, and if they're dying in mortal agony, so much the better.
