Nana Mouskouri


 Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

The Guardian
Perhaps if Nana Mouskouri had been starting out today there would be merchandising stalls selling copies of her trademark glasses. It certainly seems like a missed marketing opportunity when the world's most famous spectacle wearer opens with Amazing Grace - "Was blind, but now I see" - and does not dedicate it to her optician.

However, Mouskouri has no need of such modern nonsense. Her soaring voice has shifted 350m records, making her the most successful female singer ever. At 73, her farewell tour visits so many countries she presumably wants to thank each record-buyer personally. With hair still centre-parted like a 1960s student, she doesn't look her age and only sounds it when her once powerful range seems like it has been wedged into a straitjacket. Her Greek music clapalongs sound like a rowdy Mediterranean restaurant.

Nana Mouskouri in Royal Albert Hall
『彼女も73歳ですものー。。それは◎×%*&$&#よー』

ってな会話が公演前のざわついた会場で、ふっとした時に耳に入ってきた。

げわーーーーーーナナ・ムスクーリって70歳代なんですか!!!

この情報に端を発し、他の驚き!を求めて、公演前に彼女情報を、他人の会話に

耳をダンボにする事によって、予備知識程度には得る事ができました。

今公演に合わせてロンドンに遊びにくるはずだった母は、ムスクーリファンで

そのおかげで彼女の曲はほとんど覚えているものの、彼女のキャリアや人生そのもの

なんて、まったく知らない私にはアリガタイ。

結局,ロンドン自体に来られなくなっってしまった母の代わりに、さして興味もない私が、

コンサートに行く事に。。。

(ファンの皆さん、ごめんなさい。。。。。)


往年の大スターのさよなら公演ですから、かなり前にチケットを予約したのに、

会場は空席がちらほら2。何だか前から頑張った自分がばからしくなり、そして、

満員御礼で締めくくる事が出来ない観客の私達!の不甲斐無さにファンでも

ないのに寂しさを感じてしまいました。

でもよく考えてみると、彼女自身が73歳と言う事は、ファンも結構なご高齢!な訳で、

公演に足を運ぶだけでもひと苦労なのかー。

そう言えば、車いすの方や、杖をついている方、また誰かに付き添われている風な方多し!

観客についてもう1つ。ファンの多いフランスや母国のギリシャ人が多いのは分かるけど、

疑問が湧きました。イギリス人に限っては、殊の外、同性愛者が多いんですが、

どーしてでしょう?????

彼女の曲の影響か、それとも、彼女はそれ系の活動家なのでしょうか?!

いずれにしても、公演が始まって空席のちらほら理由は分かったような。。。

私はCDでしか、曲を聴いた事がないものの、明らかに声が出なくなっている

=歌手としては頂けなくなっていらっしゃるのです。(ご高齢ですからね!)

とは言ったものの、私にとっては最初で最後の ”生” ナナ・ムスクーリで、

トレードマークの黒ブチ眼鏡にストレートの黒髪に、

(黒毛はお染めになっていらっしゃるでしょう、勿論!)

ジュディ・オングばりの衣装をまとった彼女は、素敵なオーラに包まれていました。

また、ファンの方々にとっては、歌われる曲の一曲一曲が、往年の歌声で

思い出と一緒に頭の中をこだましている様で、実際の声のかすれは関係ないといった

感じに、観客皆が、気持ち良さそうにハミングしていました。

何だか分からないけど、ご利益のある物を観た感じです。とっても。


しかし、オノヨーコといい、ナナ・ムスクーリといい、70歳代も、

まだまだ侮れない~!!

Nana Mouskouri - Benefizkonzert in Saarbrücken unter Schirmherrschaft von Doris Pack


Donnerstag, 1. November 2007
Die saarländische Europaabgeordnete Doris Pack übernimmt die Schirmherrschaft zu einem Benefizkonzert mit Nana Mouskouri am 15. November 2007 in Saarbrücken. Der Erlös des Konzerts ist für die Arbeit einer Europaschule in Bosnien & Herzegowina bestimmt.
Es ist das zweite Konzert dieser Art; bereits 1998 sang Nana Mouskouri in Saarbrücken, um Spenden zu sammeln für eine Europaschule in Bosnien. Gemeinsam mit Doris Pack brachte sie den damals gesammelten Betrag nach Bosnien und übergab ihn selbst vor Ort an die Schule."Ich freue mich sehr, dass sich Nana Mouskouri mit dem Konzert ein weiteres Mal für die Europaschule in Bosnien engagiert. Finanzielle Unterstützung wird für die dortige Arbeit dringend benötigt. Die Wunden, die ethnischen Vertreibungen hinterlassen haben, heilen auf Dauer nur, wenn Kinder der neuen Generation gemeinsam auf der Schulbank sitzen und ihre Verschiedenheit zu akzeptieren lernen" so Doris Pack.Quelle: Koch Universal Music / Stefan Kahe

From my guest book, thanks Yuen!

Dear Sachi, Don't believe what the reviewer wrote about Nana's concert at the RAH. I was there and it was absolutely out of this world.From the first moment she came on the stage singing Amazing Grace,she had the audience eating out of her hands.She looked and sounded fantastic.We were all so moved and shed so many tears.I do not know of anyone who thinks otherwise. Luckily for us the BBC recorded the entire concert.It was the best Nana concert and she deservedly received standing ovation after standing ovation.....and this was only after the first song!!! By the end of the concert after she had sung Hartino to fengaraki, she brought the whole house down. the audience just wouldn't let her go. Her choice of songs were wonderfull. Some beautifull surprises e.g. O Sole Mio. I look forward to seeing her again in Birmingham.After the Albert Hall, anything else would be hard to follow. Even at 73 years old Nana is still able to cast her spell over us and we were most definately SPELLBOUND. Yuen

Nana Mouskouri @ Bridgewater Hall

Live reviews

I wonder what it must feel like, touring the world for 40 years, standing on hundreds of different stages, singing to adoring audiences of all creeds and colours, and then to finally decide enough is enough. That thought could not have been that far away from Ioanna "Nana" Mouskouri as she performed to an adoring audience in Manchester for the last time.

At 73-years of age Nana is in the midst of her farewell tour: she has finally decided to hang up her Tsarouhias. But, not until she’s finished belting out some of the classics that made her Greece’s classiest export and demonstrating why she has won over so many with her distinctive vocal style which resonates somewhere between a clinical soprano and a sultry jazz club singer.

Nana arrives on stage wearing a glittering red two-piece and iconic spectacles. She soaks up the applause before opening with a soaring version of ‘Amazing Grace’.

What follows is two hours of an ageing singing star whose pure joy and escapism from singing eminates from every pore of her.

Raised in Crete during the time of Nazi occupation, Nana’s film projector father pushed her towards classical musical training, but her rebellious love of jazz lead her on another path. Later a meeting with Quincy Jones helped her on her way to selling an unthinkable 350 million albums.

Nana moves effortlessly through folk tunes like ‘Loch Lomond’ and ‘Song for Liberty’ into classical songs in French, Italian and German - only three languages in her linguistic armoury - before taking on renditions of pop songs like ‘Love Changes Everything’ and the ultra-smooth ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes’.

There’s also time for her signature ‘White Rose Of Athens’ as she graciously receives yet another bouquet of flowers at her feet.

As you’d imagine there are points when Nana’s 73-year-old voice crackles to a halt and you feel yourself wondering if this last tour is a decade overdue, but rather than blush with embarrassment, Nana takes her shortcomings with a class and dignity.

Throughout the night she is brimming with gratitude for the years of attention and devotion from fans, and as she leaves the stage blowing kisses into the air, what’s clear is, this final performance is not so much as farewell, but thank you.
