The Evening Call
''The Evening Call'' is an album by American folk singer/guitarist Greg Brown, released in 2006. It was his first album of all new material in over four years. Reception A review of the album in ''Sing Out!'' includes a lengthy description of the album's sound: "Brown and Ramsey do themselves proud with the laid back production, mostly guitars, bass, soft drums and percussion and the occasional harmonica that never obscure the lyrics and keep the action moving forward. You'll hear every detail of Brown's voice growling its way through the complex and sometimes brilliant lyrics. However, Brown makes Leonard Cohen sound like Mr. Sunshine. This CD requires several listenings to divine all Brown has to say and absorb the depth of his writing, but it's not one you'll want to put on the repeat mode on your CD player." ''Acoustic Guitar'' states that the album "is among Brown's finest work," and suggests the work was "clearly influenced by the sudden death last year of Brown's close f ...

Eugene Onegin (opera)
''Eugene Onegin'' ( rus, Евгений Онегин, italic=yes, Yevgény Onégin, jɪvˈɡʲenʲɪj ɐˈnʲeɡʲɪn, Ru-Evgeny_Onegin.ogg), Opus number, Op. 24, is an opera ("lyrical scenes") in 3 acts (7 scenes), composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The libretto, organised by the composer himself, very closely follows certain passages in Alexander Pushkin's 1825-1832 Eugene Onegin, novel in verse, retaining much of his poetry. Tchaikovsky's friend Konstantin Shilovsky contributed M. Triquet's verses in Act 2, Scene 1, while Tchaikovsky himself arranged the text for Lensky's arioso in Act 1, Scene 1, and almost all of Prince Gremin's aria in Act 3, Scene 1. ''Eugene Onegin'' is a well-known example of lyric opera, to which Tchaikovsky added music of a dramatic nature. The story concerns a selfish hero who lives to regret his blasé rejection of a young woman's love and his careless incitement of a fatal duel with his best friend. The opera was first performed in Moscow in 1879. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
