la Vida es Sueño

La vida es sueño borrows the title of Calderón’s work for this musical and poetic journey through dreams, the night and the powerful symbolism that surrounds them, evoking a magical, mysterious, threatening and secret world. El Gran Teatro del Mundo, specialising in French music from the time of Louis XIV, revisits the operas of the Grand Siècle in this disc, offering an exclusively instrumental interpretation of scenes in which night and sleep are the best allies of love and death.

Sinopsis de la editorial: Tras una terrible guerra que ha devastado la superficie del planeta y ha obligado a la humanidad a refugiarse bajo tierra para sobrevivir. La Corporación Narise crea a Ciel, un androide con forma humana y capaz de conjurar imágenes del cielo a través de sus canciones un sueño dorado para todos los que no se resignan a ver de nuevo el cielo azul, algo imposible para los habitantes de la ciudad bajo la cúpula. Cuando Ciel es acusado de asesinato, se desata la tragedia, cambiando la vida de todos.

Possessing a voice at once adept at soul, rock, pop, and folk, Valerie Carter had a successful career as a solo artist and in-demand backup singer. Beginning her career singing in coffee houses as a teenager, she eventually became one-third of the short-lived country-folk band Howdy Moon. Though they debuted at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles in 1974, their one album became fairly obscure. It is notable, however, for the Carter-penned song "Cook with Honey," later a minor hit for Judy Collins, and for the introduction of Carter to Lowell George, who produced the album. A mentor to her until his death in 1979, George introduced Carter to Jackson Browne, James Taylor, and many other artists she would work with throughout her career. Her first solo album, Just a Stone's Throw Away, featured an impressive array of guest artists from the 1970s Southern California music scene.
