popular music: cohen     popular music:       Essential Leonard Cohen65 reviews Leonard Cohen Sony, 2002 a mere sampling of the work of Leonard Cohen The Essential Leonard Cohen has two great CDs with a lot of songs performed with grace and sensitivity by Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen gets the recognition he truly deserves but I think he should be rewarded even more; but maybe with this CD set release and the more recent album by him the word will continue to spread and he will attract new fans. The first of the two CDs starts with Leonard ...             Live In London5 reviews Leonard Cohen Sony, 2009 A wonderful concert presentation with excellent sound quality Leonard Cohen is still a magnificent performer, even at 73-years old, and this concert captures that fact. This two-disc cd set was recorded live at the concert in London at the O2 Arena on July 17th, 2008. Sony has done a marvelous job in putting this package together. Both cds are filled to maximum capacity and Amazon's tracklisting above is correct. There are several nice photographs of ...             Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man101 reviews Leonard Cohen, Rufus Wainwright Lions Gate, 2006 Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man. I received my copy of this DVD a few days ago and have already viewed it about ten times. The music is just so good, the information about Leonard Cohen himself is very useful and to feel part of the Sydney Opera House Concert was exciting. Thoroughly enjoyable.             New Skin for the Old Ceremony20 reviews Leonard Cohen Sbme Special Mkts., 2008 I locked you in this body, I meant it as a kind of trial; you can use it as a weapon, or to make some woman smile. In terms of the individual songs on this album, they are varied but all strong and coherent. This album really breaks away from Cohen's other early works in terms of production values. It has a bright sound, and slightly fuller instrumentation on some tracks. I would also say that with this album, Cohen ends his classic early period epitomized by his first four or five albums. As an ...             Songs of Leonard Cohen8 reviews Leonard Cohen Sony Legacy, 2007 The beginning of the majestic Leonard.... This was Leonard Cohen's first album, and it's an amazing album. It's filled with some of his best songs ever, songs that sound new everytime you listen to him. It starts with one of his signature songs, Suzanne. Surprisingly, it's not about a lost love or a current love, but a woman of impeccable taste and hospitality. I especially love The Stranger Song, which grows more brooding and ...             I'm Your Man51 reviews Leonard Cohen Sbme Special Mkts., 2008 The album that will convert you, if you weren't already there I am both young enough and old enough (at 37) to remember what a shock it was when this album came out. The shock consisted in Leonard Cohen making a really cool album. I mean, for those of us who had been teenagers in the 80s, Leonard Cohen was just about the opposite of cool. He represented something, we weren't quite sure what because few of us had actually listened to him, but it ...             Live In London6 reviews Leonard Cohen Sony, 2009 Beautiful, Sublime...Pure Grace I swore I would not open this DVD until after seeing L. Cohen in Oakland the Monday after next. But I'm so glad I broke my vow. This is one of the most wonderful concerts I've ever seen captured on DVD. The band and Leonard's singers are top-notch, and one senses that they feel as though they are a part of something special. The songs span nearly 40 years of a canon that is second to none. ...             A Little Princess204 reviews Liesel Matthews, Eleanor Bron Warner Home Video, 1997 Great Family Movie Magical and delightful and uplifting. I don't really have much to say in addition to what others have said, but I figured I'd weigh in with some stars to counter the 1 star people. They may be more devoted to the text of the book than the rest of us. I come to the film simply as appreciating whether it's a good movie as a movie, and it is. Much preferable to the other A Little Princess movie ...             Elegy1 review Jose Ayala, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Lakeshore Records, 2008 WOW ! Beautiful, beautiful music. I was so taken with it as I watched the movie, that I went out today and bought the soundtrack. Very soothing to listen to....I highly recommend it.             Various Positions25 reviews Leonard Cohen Sbme Special Mkts., 2008 One of Cohen's best One of the few composers that can transform his poetry into beautiful and popular songs. Almost as good as his earlier work , an album that you will hear again and again.             The Future54 reviews Leonard Cohen SBME SPECIAL MKTS., 2008 The Future The Future being Cohens 1992 release is nothing short of a stroke of genius. It starts out with a bang with the track The future. Cohen is such a talented lyrcist that I consider it to be the perfect mix between poetry and music. His vocals are as solid as ever before. The book-let is very interesting. On the cover we have a bird, a heart and a pair of handcuffs. It contains both lyrics and also ...             Songs of Love and Hate5 reviews Leonard Cohen Sony Legacy, 2007 Bitter, apocalyptic folk The title of Leonard Cohen's third album is a pretty accurate description of the music found therein. These songs deal with human relationships at their most polarized and extreme, gushing with emotion and boiling over with intensity. The twist is, there are no love songs here, or hate songs either. For on Songs of Love and Hate, the two titular emotions are so tightly intertwined that they haunt ...             Ten New Songs147 reviews Leonard Cohen Sony, 2001 A quiet celebration of a secret life Although I have been a devoted LC fan for many years, truth be told there is a lot of his music I don't listen to regularly. Not so with this CD. Ever since it came out, I have found Ten New Songs a constant and steadfast companion: It provides comfort in dark times, and a muted celebratory vibe for good, quiet times. While I was (like so many) put off by the production of this CD (recorded ...             Jesus25 reviews Brian Deacon, Rivka Neuman Bci / Eclipse, 2000 Best Jesus movie ever! If there is any Jesus movie that touches the hearts of men, this one does. I bought three of these and play them so much, I want to make sure I have it a long time. The fact that the words are taken entirely from the Bible, and portraying the life of Jesus simply and accurately without added "Hollywood" glamor, tinsel and big-name movie stars distracting the meaningful intentions of this story: ...             Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces20 reviews Fritz Dolezal, Franklin Cohen, ... Decca, 2001 Mozart for Babies While reading Oliver Sack's book, Musicophilia, about the neuroscience of music illustrated through cases of neurological disability that knocked out areas of the brain involved in music perception and creation, I learned that children listening to Mozart developed specific regions of the brain and improve their mathematics scores. I decided that my 5 month old grandson's developing brain would ...             Death of a Ladies' Man2 reviews Leonard Cohen Sbme Special Mkts., 2008 Cohen & Spector rock out Death Of A Ladies' Man is an album of striking songs & tortured intensity so it will sound abrasive to some, especially those who prefer his spare style of the 1960s & later works like Recent Songs. As for the complaints about Phil Spector's production, the sound is not that far removed from tracks like Is This What You Wanted? and Lover Lover Lover on the 1974 album New Skin for the Old Ceremony ...             Songs from a Room9 reviews Leonard Cohen Sony Legacy, 2007 Difficult to Love and Well Worth the Effort This album is dry as bones and lean as a desert. It is the first Cohen album I owned -- on vinyl -- and it took me a while to latch on to it. But it was so worth it. Every passing year I seem to love it more. "Story of Isaac" was the first thing to hook me; it is almost a chimera of two songs that are not closely related -- a biblical story from the point of view of the boy about to be ...             Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man59 reviews Leonard Cohen Verve Forecast, 2006 wonderful cd....I love Leonard This cd is an essential part of any Leonard Cohen collection...gives the listener the opportunity to hear his work interpreted by other artists...fantastic!             Recent Songs20 reviews Leonard Cohen Sbme Special Mkts., 2008 Sublime and fragile beauty The sound is fragile, almost ethereal, on tracks like The Window, The Guests and Our Lady of Solitude, while Humbled In Love is more earthy and The Lost Canadian (Un Canadien Errant) has a traditional mariachi arrangement with marvelous trumpets. Most outstanding feature is the presence of John Bilezikjian on guitar and Raffi Hakopian on "oud" (oriental lute). None of these songs has been ...             Knuffle Bunny... and More Great Childhood Adventure Stories (Scholastic Storybook Treasures)4 reviews Calista Flockhart, Lindsay Crouse New Video Group, 2007 Terrific Video of a Wonderful Story! Knuffle Bunny is a wonderful story to share with young children and this video enhances the story by making it even more special. Having both Trixie and her dad narrate makes the story more real. I used in with my K-2 grade library classes and both boys and girls identified with Trixie losing her bunny. They all laughed when she started bawling and her daddy tried to hide with her behind a ...              search for popular music adventure, bunny, ceremony, childhood, cohen, death, elegy, essential, future, great, greatest, jesus, knuffle, ladies, leonard, little, london, love, masterpieces, more, mozart, positions, princess, recent, scholastic, songs, stories, storybook, treasures, various popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
