Rod Stewart - Human - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This album, released by Rod Stewart in the twilight of the '80s, gave the decade some of it's most iconic and recognizable songs, sounds and phrases. Carried by hits InchLost in You,Inch InchMy Heart Can't Tell You NoInch and of course InchForever Young,Inch even it's -week success could not predict the lasting impact and legacy of this wonderful pop album.

In the nearly 200 years since it's composition for voice and piano, many have tackled Schubert's Winterreise. Steinway artist Hilary Demske, however, transforms the cycle into a series of works for solo piano on JOURNEY FOR ONE on Navona Records, focusing on the instrument's poignant ability to represent the original composition's lyricism and complexity. By freely experimenting with melodic fragments and manipulating the placement and length of gestures-along with translating the meaning of Müller's poetry to music-Demske adds a fresh, unique perspective to classic repertoire. The result is a refraction, rather than reflection, of Schubert's masterpiece that produces a series of works that go beyond simple reinterpretation and venture into the realm of complete reimagination.

And he is live, absolutely! Rod Stewart in concert from L.A. to London and beyond on this great live album. 19 performances across 5 venues from a 1981-81 international tour.
