Still Live

You are stronger than you know, more positive than you ever thought and you can still LIVE with cancer.

"This is not a show," murmurs Michael Stipe at the start of Live at the Olympia and it's not quite misdirection. R.E.M.'s five-night residency at Dublin's Olympia in the summer of 2007 functioned as working rehearsals for their 14th album, Accelerate, with the band testing out each of the songs, exploring arrangements, finding breaking points, and pairing them with older songs that informed their back-to-basics move.

Symphonic metal. Ask any metal fan (or indeed fan of rock) to think of this genre, and then name a band that exemplifies it and you’ll be hard-pushed to find someone who doesn’t mention Nightwish. The Finnish group have been melding the aggression of metal to the glorious, sweeping majesty of the symphony for twenty years now and, despite some vocal changes over the past decade, have remained steadfast at the cutting-edge of the genre.

Objekte im Blickpunkt
Ein Objekt in den Mittelpunkt eines Bildes zu stellen, ein Still-Life zu erstellen, bedeutet, das Objekt zum "Hero" zu machen. Eberhard Schuy, erfahrener Objektfotograf und Trainer, nimmt Sie mit on Location und zeigt Ihnen live, wie ein Objekt durch den geeigneten Bildaufbau und das Verschmelzen mit dem Hintergrund in den Mittelpunkt eines Gesamtkonzepts rückt. Freuen Sie sich auf eine Arbeitsweise, bei der es auf Kreativität ankommt und weniger auf Technik!

Diana Damrau and Jonas Kaufmann, reigning stars of opera, are also consummate interpreters of song. In early 2018, with master pianist Helmut Deutsch, they performed Hugo Wolf’s multi-faceted Italienisches Liederbuch in 12 cities around Europe. “One couldn’t ask for more,” wrote the Telegraph after their London concert, which took place two days before this live recording was made in the German city of Essen.

A banda americana R.E.M. marcou o ponto em que o pós-punk se transformou em rock alternativo. Seu primeiro single, “Radio Free Europe”, de 1981, desencadeou a volta do rock de garagem e trouxe o pop de guitarra para os holofotes. Combinando letras murmuradas com uma estética caseira, a banda soava tradicional e moderna ao mesmo tempo. Ao longo da década de 80, eles trabalharam incansavelmente, lançando discos anualmente e fazendo turnês constantemente. Em 1987, eles emplacaram seu primeiro sucesso com a música “The One I Love”, que levou a um contrato com a Warner Bros Records. No início dos anos 1990, eles lançaram seus álbuns mais bem-sucedidos, Out of Time (1991), com o single “Losing My Religion”, e Automatic for the People (1992). A banda foi introduzida no Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame em 2007, e após lançar seu último álbum, Collapse Into Now, em 2011, se separou amigavelmente.
