Title: Schumann's Favored Bar Songs Condition: New Description: EDITORIAL REVIEWS * Theo Bleckmann recently nominated for a 2010 Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover! * Bleckmann's adventurous and extravagantly beautiful choices have led his work to be described as "from another planet" (New York Times), "magical" (All About Jazz), and "transcendent" (Village Voice). * Schumann's Favored Bar Songs starts with Yasuda's composition "Roast Beef and Fried Potatoes," which he dedicates to Schumann's in Munich. Here, one gets the best fried potatoes with roast beef, so that even vegetarians sometimes become weak. * The musical program spans everything from the bar classic "As Time Goes By" to "Good Morning Heartache" and "Just A Gigolo." From the first sounds, one can feel the special atmosphere of Schumann's Bar. * Decorative liner notes include recipes for fabulous cocktails including the Kyoto Fizz, Sake Highball, and more."Vocalist Theo Bleckmann is one of the most flexible and uncategorizable figures on the New York scene; since the mid-90s he's been doing his thing in a niche of his own invention, somewhere between jazz, cabaret, classical, experimental, and improvised music." -- Chicago Reader "[Bleckmann's] a gifted singer (and twister) of songs, his voice flexible and rich, his phrasing sensitive and clear ... which makes his precise articulation such a treat." -- DownBeat "The most transcendent vocal album in many a moon (for my money, anyway) reminds me of Björk's Selmasongs. Bleckmann's voice and Yasuda's orchestrations have the same blissfully troubling emotional pull." -- Village Voice "Bleckmann possesses technique so colossal, yet so meticulous, he can seem otherworldly, an android-like embodiment of sci-fi vocalisms, a bodily vessel for that voice. Still, whether accompanied by actual words or not, the sounds wrought are undeniably the product of the indissoluble bond of that magical, futuristic technique with the spectrum of suffering and celebration emanating from the soul of their maker." -- All About Jazz Format: CD Genre: Classical Artist: Robert Schumann No Of Discs: 1 Record Label: Winter & Winter EAN: 0025091015221 Edition: Album MPN: 9101522 Release Date: 01/12/2018 Composer: Robert Schumann Style: Vocal Country/Region of Manufacture: USA Release Year: 2018
