Udo
Lindenberg – Intensivstationen
Well
now, it's Wednesday and I am writing this next Sunday, on the third
day of our trip to the Yorkshire Dales...
I
recall that, today, I listened back to the two newly prepared
podcasts and did some judicious editing thereof, prior to their
publication on Friday morning...
In
the evening, a meet up with Anne and to the environs of the Festival
Theatre, dining at Kebab Mahal before witnessing Scottish ballet's
performance of two Stravinsky pieces...
“The
Fairy's Kiss”, whilst impressive, was not really to my liking – I
should have known upon hearing the words “hommage to
Tchaikovsky”...
The
dancing was just too traditional in nature, while the music too was a
let down for Stravinsky...
The
second piece, “The Rite of Spring” however, pulled matters out of
the proverbial fire, with a trio piece set in a three sided “cell”...
Made
the evening worthwhile...
Big
thanks to Anne's chum Teresa for the ticket – she had been
unexpectedly called away and I stepped into the breach...
Back
home, through the door from that Europe, an Udo Lindenberg live CD
which I bought on its release in the early eighties on double LP and
which I still have...
I
thought I already had this on CD but it was a burn from my LP, which
had since deteriorated and been binned...
On
checking again his vast discography, thinking I must surely have all
studio and live albums by now, I found there is just one live LP from
the late 80's which eludes me...
The
search is on...
This
is how I waste my time and money – but it brings me pleasure so...
Lights
out with Herr L in the cans...
Highlight
of the Day : The second Stravinsky...
