Hsitory Hollywood

Willie Nelson is probably the greatest living country star of our time. The Texan has been an institution of the genre for decades and is revered by generations of colleagues and fans. So it's no wonder that countless well-wishers celebrated this legend's 90th birthday with a unique concert. "Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 Live At The Hollywood Bowl" now brings this historic event to your living room.

On this recording, Valerie Eickhoff (soprano) and Eric Schneider (piano) present the Hollywood Songbook by Hanns Eisler, who is considered one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. However, he was also a tragic figure in music history and was persecuted because of his origins and political views. The songs, many of which contain texts by Bertolt Brecht, deal with themes such as pacifism, flight and exile. They thus represent a spiritual-ideal self-assertion, but are also a musical diary.

Valerie Eickhoff (Sopran) und Eric Schneider (Klavier) präsentieren auf dieser Aufnahme das Hollywood Songbook von Hanns Eisler, der als einer der einflussreichsten Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt. Er war aber auch eine tragische Figur in der Musikgeschichte und wurde aufgrund seiner Herkunft und politischen Ansichten verfolgt. In den Liedern, von denen viele Texte von Bertolt Brecht enthalten, werden Themen wie Pazifismus, Flucht, Exil behandelt. Sie stellen damit eine geistig-ideelle Selbstbehauptung dar, sind aber gleichzeitig auch ein musikalisches Tagebuch.

Sara Bareilles’ singer-songwriter and acting sides both get a workout this month. On May 6, she debuts on Peacock’s “Girls5eva,” a Tina Fey-executive-produced comedy about a late-’90s girl group whose 40-something members reunite after their ancient hit gets sampled in a hip-hop song. And she’s back on more familiar show business turf — albeit what was at the time a new headlining venue for her — on the album “Amidst the Chaos: Live at the Hollywood Bowl,” out May 21.
