my way

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Although it follows the same patterns and approach as Cycles, My Way is a stronger album, with a better, more varied selection of material and a more focused, gutsy performance from Frank Sinatra. [1]

In her album The End, released in conjunction with the film Nana 2, singer and actress Mika Nakashima performs a cover of Sid Vicious’ version of the song with what sounds like an audience singing background vocals. [...] This article is about the song made famous by Frank Sinatra. [...] “My Way” is a song with lyrics written by Paul Anka and popularized by Frank Sinatra. [...] Anka’s English lyrics are unrelated to the original French by Claude Fran?ois and Gilles Thibaut and Anka is credited as a co-composer of “My Way” because he largely re-wrote the song. [2]

If Sinatra doesn’t quite pull off the R&B of “Hallelujah, I Love Her So,” he does sing the light Latin stylings of “A Day in the Life of a Fool” beautifully, and he has fun with Paul Simon ’s “Mrs. Robinson,” changing the lyrics dramatically so they become a tongue-in-cheek, swinging hipster tribute. [1]

He is comfortable with and takes responsibility for how he dealt with all the twists of his life while maintaining a respectable degree of integrity. [2]

In the midst of Sinatra’s multiple runs on the UK Singles Chart, Welsh singer Dorothy Squires also released a rendition of “My Way”, released in Summer 1970. [...] Paul Anka heard the original 1967 French pop song, Comme d’habitude (as usual) performed by Claude Francois with music by Claude Francois and Jacques Revaux and lyrics by Claude Francois and Gilles Thibault, while on holiday in the south of France. [3]

The melody is based on a French song “Comme d’habitude ” composed by Claude Fran?ois and Jacques Revaux. [2]

This time out, Don Costa has written more engaging charts than the previous Cycles. [1]

Despite this, Anka would later record the song in 1969 (very shortly after Sinatra’s recording was released), 1996 (as a duet with Gabriel Byrne, performed in the movie Mad Dog Time), and 2007 (as a duet with Jon Bon Jovi). [...] Russian singer Iosif Kobzon, during the concert dedicated to his 70th anniversary (in 2007), performed the Russian version of the song “Moy put’” (Russian text written by Ilia Reznik). [3]

When David Bowie was asked to write English lyrics to “Comme d’habitude” in 1968, the song he came up with was “Even a Fool Learns to Love.” [...] Elvis Presley began performing the song in concert during the mid-1970s, in spite of suggestions by Paul Anka, who told him it was not a song that would suit him.

la boheme

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Whatever the initial catalysts, an 1893 meeting of the two composers, in which Puccini casually mentioned his La boh?me project, induced the composers to publish in the Milanese press notices in which each laid a claim of priority to the subject. [1]

Where it is unavailable or not desired, the name may be represented as La boheme (Leoncavallo). [2]

But, perhaps because of that conversation, the end of Act I still defines “La Boheme” for me. [3]

Como no tienen combustible y hace fr?o, utilizan los manuscritos del drama que est? escribiendo Rodolfo para hacer fuego. [4]

La boh?me is an opera in four acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, based on Sc?nes de la vie de boh?me by Henri Murger. [5]

Opera in four acts by Puccini to a libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica after Henry Murger’s Sc?nes de la vie Boh?me (1896, Turin). [...] It was perhaps a common interest in the nineteenth century cultural fad of Bohemianism that led Giacomo Puccini and his contemporary Ruggiero Leoncavallo to decide to compose operas on the theme of Parisian starving artists. [1]

Los amigos llegan al Caf? Momus, y mientras beben y comen aparece Musetta, ex de Marcello, acompa?ada de un admirador un poco parco, Alcindoro. [4]

Rodolfo decides to finish his poetry while the others set off for the Caf? Momus. [1]

Marcello is about to sacrifice one of the sparse furnishings to the empty stove when Rodolfo has an inspiration: pages of his drama will warm them. [...] It strikes a sympathetic chord within those who are passionate about opera and those to whom opera is just a diversion. [6]

Like the 1849 play by Murger and Th?odore Barri?re, the opera’s libretto focuses on the relationship between Rodolfo and Mim?, ending with her death. [...] Act 2 costume design for “la rappezzatrice” (the clothes mender) for the world premiere performance. [5]

Mim? accepts the proposal of Count Paolo and leaves Rodolfo; and Musetta, weary of being poor, leaves Marcello. [2]

Nadie le presta atenci?n porque caen sobre la comida, que es retirada r?pidamente por Schaunard, que les deja tan solo el vino. [4]
