Alice Murno

Alice Cooper was oorspronkelijk een band onder leiding van zanger Vincent Damon Furnier. De band pionierde een theatrale en gewelddadige soort heavy metal, bedoeld om te shockeren. Hoewel de visuele effecten zeer belangrijk waren voor hun impact, was de muziek bijna net zo herkenbaar, gedreven door rauwe, eenvoudige riffs en melodieën afgeleid van niet alleen guitar pop uit de jaren 60 maar tevens show tunes. Het was de meest fundamentele en aangrijpende rock & roll, zelfs wanneer de band zich in psychedelica en art rock waagden. Nadat de oorspronkelijke groep uiteen viel en Furnier een solocarrière als Alice Cooper begon, verloor zijn muziek veel van het theatrale vermogen en werd het gewoon heavy metal.

Recorded at the conclusion of his 2009 world tour, Alice Cooper’s live album Theatre of Death finds the shock rock veteran bringing his legendary live show to London's Hammersmith Apollo. The concert features a selection of Alice’s most well known songs with a heavy emphasis on his 1975 effort Welcome to My Nightmare.

The man (and the band) who first brought shock rock to the masses, Alice Cooper became one of the most successful and influential acts of the '70s with their gritty but anthemic hard rock and a live show that delivered a rock & roll chamber of horrors, thrilling fans and cultivating outrage from authority figures (which made fans love them all the more). The name Alice Cooper originally referred to both the band and its lead singer (born Vincent Furnier), as they played dark, eccentric, psychedelic rock on their first two albums, Pretties for You (1969) and Easy Action (1970).

The figure of prodigiously gifted violinist Nicola Matteis looms large in this program featuring composers active in Restoration England. Transplanted from his native Italy to London, he was one of a host of artists and performers from across Europe who flocked to the city and made a crucial impact on the country's musical culture.

For her tenth Deutsche Grammophon release, pianist Alice Sara Ott returns to the music of Frédéric Chopin. She approaches Chopin’s 24 Préludes op. 28 from a fresh perspective, finding a personal thread that parallels the music’s dramatic arc and wide-ranging moods. The pianist frames the Préludes within a contemporary context by interspersing them with seven works by 20th- and 21st-century composers.

Championne des premiers prix de piano, Alice Sara Ott (né à Munich le 1er août 1988) fait ses classes au Mozarteum de Salzbourg, en Autriche, avant de se lancer dans les plus grands festivals européens. Signée en exclusivité par Deutsche Grammophon, elle enregistre les 12 Études d'exécution transcendante de Franz Liszt (parues en 2009) et se produit au Japon à guichets fermés.

A popular singer when she was still a young teenager, Alice Babs had a long and varied career. She made her recording debut in 1939 at the age of 15 and, although her yodeling made her initially popular and the novelty "Swing It, Mr. Teacher" was her first hit, Babs even at the start had a highly appealing voice and a lightly swinging style. She mostly recorded in jazz and swing-oriented settings throughout the years of World War II. Babs remained active throughout the 1950s and '60s in Europe, singing everything from jazz (recording with Duke Ellington in 1963 and performing the classic "Heaven" at his second spiritual concert) and pop to a bit of classical music. By the late '70s, Alice Babs had become less active, but into the mid-'90s she occasionally performed on special occasions. Her important first set with Duke Ellington, Swing It!, does a fine job of summing up her first 15 years on records. Babs suffered from Alzheimer's in her final years, and she died on February 11, 2014 of complications from the disease. She was 90 years old.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Pudong Art Museum, Gina Alice, who was just over 27 years old, and her husband played Brahms' Hungarian Dance with their four hands.
