Carrère

«In un certo periodo della mia vita sono stato cristiano» scrive Emmanuel Carrère nella quarta di copertina dell'edizione francese del Regno. «Lo sono stato per tre anni. Non lo sono più». Due decenni dopo, tuttavia, prova il bisogno di «tornarci su», di ripercorrere i sentieri del Nuovo Testamento: non da credente, questa volta, bensì «da investigatore».

Guitarist Joe Pass reunited with the same musicians he had used on his classic 1963 album For Django for this relaxed exploration of a dozen jazz standards: rhythm guitarist John Pisano, bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey. Alternating romps with ballads, Pass is in typically fine form throughout with "Relaxin' at Camarillo," "Red Door" and "That's Earl, Brother" receiving rare revivals. This CD is one of literally dozens of worthy Joe Pass Pablo recordings.

Rarely has a greatest-hits collection been as effective as Elton John's first compilation of Greatest Hits. Released at the end of 1974, after Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Caribou had effectively established him as a superstar, Greatest Hits is exactly what it says it is – it features every one of his Top Ten singles ("Your Song," "Rocket Man," "Honky Cat," "Crocodile Rock," "Daniel," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," "Bennie and the Jets," "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"), plus the number 12 "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and radio and concert favorite "Border Song." Despite the exclusion of a couple of lesser hits from this era, most notably "Levon" and "Tiny Dancer," Greatest Hits is a nearly flawless collection, offering a perfect introduction to Elton John and providing casual fans with almost all the hits they need.

Nul autre homme d’Etat n’a été autant fasciné par l’Histoire que le général de Gaulle.

Le général de Gaulle voyait la Russie comme cet « allié de revers » indispensable à sa sécurité, mais plus encore parce qu’elle participait à sa conception de l’équilibre de l’Europe et de la place de l’Europe dans le monde. …
