This is the 51st solo album recorded by Klaus Schulze. The album's title means "Thank you very much" in Polish. The first three tracks were recorded live in Warsaw, Poland on 13th November 2008. The last three tracks were recorded live in Berlin, Germany on 12th November 2008. The album is very clean, with no audience noises.
It's a wonderful album, perfect in every way. The two concerts were played
only one day apart (in reverse order on the CDs), but the styles are distinct, and they complement one
another perfectly. In the second
concert operatic samples are used, which were missing in the first concert.
At
the "Rheingold" concert
Klaus asked the audience if they wanted a sequencer song or a song with Lisa
Gerrard, presenting them as alternatives. At the new concerts Lisa repeatedly
sings over complex sequencer pieces, improvising as Klaus changes tempo. I'm
astounded by the way they perform together, even more tightly connected than
in the "Rheingold" concert. They've grown together. Any doubts I had about
their collaboration when I reviewed the
"Farscape"
album are gone. They're a perfect pair.
Five stars. "Dziekuje Bardzo" doesn't deserve less.
I will add very immodestly that I am the co-author of the title of the album. Why? Thank you very much can be translated into Polish in two ways: Dziękuję Bardzo or Bardzo Dziękuję. Both Polish versions are correct. KDM asked me which version is better and proper. I replied: if I was standing on the stage after the concert and wanted to thank the audience, I would say Dziękuję Bardzo and not the other way around.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was expressed this way to match "Dziękuję Poland".
