The film charts the iconic British band’s sprawling journey over the last few years – from an unexpected break in Hong Kong which sowed the seeds for their first album as a four piece in 16 years, to a glorious home coming show in London and, finally, an emotional reunion with their Hong Kong audience. New World Towers cuts between scenes from the band’s impassioned performance at this summer’s Hyde Park show in front of 60,000 fans and the stirring concert in Hong Kong, but also offers a raw, candid glimpse into the interior life of the band as well, with personal documentary footage and band interviews showing just how an opportune recording session unexpectedly gave birth to a new album, while also raising questions about the future of Blur. New World Towers reveals fascinating insights into the group dynamic and especially the relationship between singer Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon. Ultimately, their enduring friendship prevailed – allowing Coxon to bring [The Magic Whip] to completion nearly 18 months later. (more…)

Recordings of all the Beethoven symphonies with their chief conductor are always a milestone in the artistic work of the Berliner Philharmoniker. So it was with Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado, and expectations are correspondingly high for this cycle conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Where does the special status of these symphonies come from? Simon Rattle has an explanation: “One of the things Beethoven does is to give you a mirror into yourself – where you are now as a musician.” In fact, this music contains such a wealth of extreme emotions and brilliant compositional ideas that reveal the qualities of the orchestra and its conductor as if under a magnifying glass.
On his personal approach to the performances, Sir Simon said, “You can make Beethoven too sophisticated or too elegant, you can clean him up too much. You can try to make him agree with himself when often he’s fighting with himself. I have the feeling probably that the more plain-spoken this music is, the better it is. And one knows with this orchestra, when you say ʻwill you joyfully motor this machine off the clifftop?ʼ, everybody says ʻof course we willʼ.” The concerts in which the Berliner Philharmoniker and their chief presented the symphonies in the Philharmonie in October 2015 were as thrilling as this suggests. The virtuosity of the works was revealed as impressively as their revolutionary energy. Performances in Paris, Vienna and New York followed and were rewarded with standing ovations from audiences.
The recording of the Berlin performances is available in an exclusive hardcover edition. It includes the cycle on five CDs and three Blu-ray discs as HD video, in uncompressed audio resolution and DTS surround sound. Its many extras include a video introduction with Sir Simon Rattle and a documentary about the making of the recordings with many interviews and glimpses behind-the-scenes. (more…)

After local studies, Nelsons began studying conducting at the St. Petersburg Conservatory with Alexander Titov.

Let Us Burn – Elements & Hydra Live In Concert (or simply Let Us Burn) is a live album, DVD and Blu-ray Disc from Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation. It is scheduled to be released on November, 2014 and is available on 2-disc DVD, 2-disc CD, 2-disc Blu-ray and digital album. The live album features two performances, being the first one the greatest part of the band’s 15th anniversary concert at the Sportpaleis, entitled Elements, and the second one the band’s performance at the Heineken Music Hall during the Hydra World Tour.
On 9 May 2012, the band officially announced special a concert entitled “Elements” at the Sportpaleis, in Antwerp, in celebration of their 15 year anniversary. Il Novecentro Orchestra accompanied the band among other special guests, including ex-band members and former Orphanage vocalist George Oosthoek. The show was sold out with fans from over 50 reported countries in attendance. No plans for a video album were in mind at the time, and as the band disliked the final result, they moved forward on the next album tour. As Hydra was released, the band decided to record a live album featuring a concert and announced via their facebook account that they were going to record the concert in Amsterdam at the same evening for a later release. During an interview for Sonic Cathedral, lead vocalist Sharon den Adel stated that the plan was originally to make a Hydra live album as plans for the Elements concert turning into a live album were early dropped as the band found themselves unhappy with the end result, so they opted to left only a few songs as extra content, but in the edition final process they decided to change the main concert to Elements as they realized the event was an important moment for their history, and after some work on the material they considered it a worthy material then. Den Adel also commented that having Black Symphony as the previous live video released, Elements would be the only possible follow up as it wasn’t a common concert. Some ex-members were invited to the Elements concert as they were somehow part of the bands history, as Martijn Westerholt and Michiel Papenhove. Both of them executed their original instruments during the track “Candles”, in which was composed while they’re still band’s studio or touring members at the time.
Both concerts had missing songs on the final edition cut. The concert at the Sportpaleis also featured “Never-Ending Story”, “Titanium”, “Summertime Sadness”, “Grenade”, “Memories”, “What Have You Done” and “Our Farewell” while the concert at the Heineken Music Hall missed “Our Solemn Hour”, “Angels”, “See Who I Am”, “The Cross” and “Summertime Sadness”.

More plaudits followed in 2006 with Within Temptation receiving the Dutch Export Award (“Best International Selling Artist”) for the third consecutive time in a row and a Golden God Award from the UK’s Metal Hammer magazine for Best Video.

Having already sold out their biggest UK tour in Nov 2007, the band staged their most ambitious concert to date at Rotterdam’s Ahoy Arena in Feb 2008.
