Cohen Leonard: The best of... 1967-74 [CD]

Vilken succécomeback det blev när Leonard Cohen bestämde sig för att åka på turné! Delar av denna turné återfinns på albumet "Songs from the road" och vi får uppleva en sprudlande lycklig och inspirerande 75-åring. Låtarna har valts från ett flertal ställen Leonard besökt under turnén, bl a Scandinavium i Göteborg.

With a career now spanning well over 50 years, and one that has earned him enormous acclaim in the worlds of poetry, literature, and of course music (in which his skills as a composer are equalled only by his gifts as a performer) Leonard Cohen is the kind of rare beast that emerges seldom even once in a generation. With perhaps only Bob Dylan and, latterly, Tom Waits,<br/>considered creative contemporaries, it is testament to Leonard's immense talent that he still maintains the ability to astonish just about everyone who's interested. <br/><br/>Leonard Cohen - The Complete Review is a two disc set chronicling Cohen's life and career in full, the result of which is the most comprehensive overview of the man to date. <br/><br/>Disc One celebrates Leonard's formative years, beginning with his growing up in Montreal's<br/>Jewish community, and concluding with the release of his fifth studio album in 1977, the Phil Spector produced Death of a Ladies' Man. With the troubadour by now firmly established as an artist of huge merit. <br/><br/>Disc Two picks up the story in 1978, and brings the tale right up to date. With the aid of plentiful rare interview and performance footage of the man himself, plus comment and insight from an array of colleagues, friends and the most informed writers, this film, running at more than two and a half hours and packaged in fittingly elegant style, achieves its purpose by revealing at least some more of the Cohen mystery than has previously been acknowledged - and in so doing provides a thoroughly entertaining journey towards that end. This delightful package will prove a top drawer Cohen's collector's item and remain the standard visual work on the artist for many years to come.

Despite being one of the most original composers and poets of the modern age, Leonard Cohen s muse is legendary. A man of deep and meditative thought, Cohen has always been inspired and influenced by those he is affected by - musicians, poets, writers, lovers but he has never borrowed from the work of his idols. His muse is a spiritual energy which inspires him to establish his own magical creations. <br/><br/>This film explores the work of Leonard Cohen in conjunction with the influences that have proven most important in his life and work. From Garcia Lorca to Bob Dylan via Jacques Brel and the Dalai Lama along with many others are here shown to be the one element in Leonard s work which are constant but which remain invisible. <br/><br/>Featuring many new interviews, rare footage and performances plus the finest yet most unusual narrative yet to grace a film on this pioneering spirit, Leonard Cohen; Daughters Of Zeus is all at once fascinating, revealing, entertaining and unique.
