Michael Porter

In an era during which rap and electronic music rose to commercial ascendancy, cabaret music could have easily become, to say the least, a quaint, passé art form. But during the last quarter of the 20th century, an alternative cabaret circuit developed and actually began to thrive throughout pockets of Europe. One of its catalysts and mainstays was Barb Jungr.

Michael Feinstein's label debut for Atlantic was a thematic album of sad love songs, but the emphasis was more on the sweet than the sorrow; this was no album of saloon songs like Frank Sinatra's Only the Lonely. As often as not, Feinstein simply chose songs of not-yet-requited love, like Cole Porter's "Easy to Love" or Leo Robin and Lewis Gensler's "Love Is Just Around the Corner," while he reflected on love's downs as well as its ups in Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen's "But Beautiful." Feinstein effectively combined such vintage material with "Wasn't There a Moment," a brand-new Jimmy Webb song, and even "For Love Alone," one of his own, and dug up such lost gems as "Theme from the Bad and the Beautiful," Dory Previn's lyrical setting over David Raksin's theme.

Diese Serie ist Fantasy vom Feinsten, die in der Gegenwart spielt, aber geschickt ihre Geschichte mit klassischen Mythen verknüpft, wie zum Beispiel Sagen der Kelten oder die Nibelungensage. Auf zu kindliche Elemente wird verzichtet. Das absolute Highlight ist aber die Sprecherin dieser Hörbuchreihe, die einen vollkommen in den Bann der Geschichte zieht und sogar einem Rufus Beck den Rang abläuft. In kürzester Zeit lebt der Hörer die Geschichte mit. Man kann nicht mehr aufhören und wartet sehnsüchtig auf die Fortsetzung der Reihe in Hörbuchform, von der bisher erst vier Teile erschienen sind. Sind die Hörbücher ein Erfolg, soll die Umsetzung in Hörbücher fortgesetzt werden. Fazit: unbedingt anhören!
