British Concert!、www.whatsonnortheast.comから♪
Nana Mouskouriさんのフェアウェルコンサートツァーもあと一年を残すだけになった。
今ナナさんは、イギリスでのサヨナラコンサートのまっ最中だ。
1972年に発表されたLP,British Concertは、管理人の大好きなLPの一枚である。
この中に、Nanaさんの唄うアカペラのアメイジング グレイス、AMAZING GRACEが入っている。
数多い録音のなかでも、アカペラでの艶のある、透き通ったこの響きは素人ながら秀逸ではないかと思う。
ところで、この今回のコンサートを紹介したページをみつけたのでご紹介したい。
Nana Mouskouri - The Farewell Tour
- The Sage Gateshead
Trained as an opera singer and influenced by Ella Fitzgerald and Edith Piaf, Nana Mouskouri has had an extraordinary global career. In the 60s, she had a hit in the UK with My Colouring Book and won the Eurovision Song Contest: she also starred in the TV show, ‘Nana and Friends’, and released ‘Over and Over’, which spent almost two years in the UK charts. The 70s saw this success continue, and an expansion into folk and country repertoire: in the 80s she had another UK hit, Only Love, and has continued to tour and record: she has now decided to retire on a high note with this tour.

Swan song for Nana
Farewell ... Nana Mouskouri.
By Terry Kelly
GREEK singing star Nana Mouskouri will serenade her Tyneside fans for the last time this month after deciding to call it a day.
She is preparing to bring down the curtain on a 50-year performing career, and her farewell tour includes an appearance at The Sage Gateshead.Listening to talk enthusiastically about her life and times, it's hard to believe she's now in her 70s.A familiar face on British TV in the 1960s and 1970s, Mouskouri has sold 230 million records, and recorded no fewer than 1,500 songs over the course of a singing career spanning more than half a century.The Greek singer's black glasses and shoulder-length hair are instantly recognisable to millions of fans worldwide.However, a broken ankle several years ago led to a three-month spell in hospital for Mouskouri, and that set her thinking about winding up her performing career.A farewell tour which started back in 2005 will reach Tyneside at the end of this month."After the accident, I was talking with my husband and started to think how I could say I love my fans as I step down from the stage," she said."This is the first time I've toured the UK for five or six years, but I've appeared in Newcastle many times before."My farewell tour will be a kind of retrospective. Each country I play is different, and I change my repertoire according to where I'm playing." Despite her impending exit from the live stage, Mouskouri is busier than ever, with a biographical memoir and new CDs due to be released to coincide with her goodbye tour.Backed by a five-piece band, she will be putting on a show reflecting the many strands of her musical
career, ranging from her early days as a jazz singer to folk and country material written by friends such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.As well as her singing, Mouskouri has been prominent in politics in her homeland and was a Euro-MP from 1994 until 1999.However, as a committed pacifist, she felt unhappy about supporting military solutions and eventually resigned.Her desire to make a difference at an international level was underlined when she was appointed a Unicef goodwill ambassador in 1993, a role filled by Hollywood stars Audrey Hepburn before her and Angelina Jolie since. Mouskouri's first United Nations mission saw her travelling to Bosnia to see for herself the horrific effects of war on children there.Moved by the experience, she later staged several fundraising concerts for Bosnia.Music has remained an important part of her life throughout, though.
