I bet Paul's is where the backseat driver should be!  To get back to Taiwan, here's another new video from Monday's press conference by MNA Club. I believe this one is about Saturday's concert at the Eternal Golden Castle in Tainan, which is an outdoor venue as mentioned by Hayley: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjMghOiBbaQRichard  |

That didn't work very well, so here is the translated text
2013/4/9, the classical crossover days after Hayley (Hayley Westenra) again came to organize a concert in Taipei. The concert almost fully deleting her famous classical repertoire, instead in order to her JPOP cover album as a flagship.
Although mostly popular track so I'm looking forward to the classical crossover style feel a little regret, but after all appreciate Hayley's scene singing alone worth the price! This stage more suspension of cherry landscaping, a more exquisite sense.
However, this concert may be because of the new tracks are more relationship can feel some slight detail hastily prepared for the lack of a sense of. Symphony Orchestra accompaniment several degrees, let me listened to some tenterhooks,抢拍the the or drop-shot, part of tacit the violin the solo plot timbre recognition degree is not, there are some tell where the strange but is there will be no harmonious sense of small details ... it is hard to ignore these flaws, feel the fly in the ointment.
The opening song of the past are Hayley is the sound of people to hear the the scalp tingling astounding, this opening song "SnowのChina" but because of the sound control factors, Hayley's voice almost to be accompaniment to drown a. A pity! However, people are still fascinated her the same light and weightless "stage Pace and ten purple Greek goddess mounted. And this time her new hair color for the red-brown, with weight-loss success, the figure is even more elegant.
Hayley said, the tracks of this concert will be very international. Was finished singing Japanese songs, followed by a Japanese song "Flower" (Hana). This in turn sound part of Hayley seems to use the new singing, more rounded and silky than ever.
The version of the singing "Songbird" seems to be relatively short, however, the accompaniment regression to the relatively simple piano accompaniment for many years the music director Tim Evans, simple music seem more to bring out Hayley's clear sound quality.
The next "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is the one I love the track. This time it should first extol friendship world music Hayley said Chuan. The Millia song, treble penetrating power. The behind一段小插曲, Hayley should remember correctly, the timing of the finishing touches to a time aback, Fortunately, she was the music director of the tacit Jia quake, plus a moving rhythm singing recaptured only surprised expression and gesture revealed out of the accident, the music is perfectly correct.
"Bud" the first Japanese song originally I did not very fond of, but this live version of the charm of powerful, can be said is refreshing which.
Hayley said next is a Taiwanese songs, laughed and said that in fact, have been written in the program book, so it should not be a surprise. She recalled that the Road for the first time in the music site Spotify heard "Baby" very favorite song, and later learned that created and sung by Taiwanese singer Zhang Xuan will find it very suitable for the concert in the concert. At this time, the tour manager hurriedly moved up a chair to the stage, guitarist Hayley orchestra accompaniment. Relationship is probably the first concert, thanks to self-study and the pronunciation of Chinese lyrics, some of the word's pronunciation was not like "The Moon Represents My Heart" and other songs like that enunciate, but her soft, sweet voice interpretation across the barriers of language and culture, self-confident, relaxed and comfortable.
The concert the "La Califfa" before Hayley brief and Italy's national treasure soundtrack master Ennio Morricone the (Ennio Morrcone) cooperation " new paradise "(Paradiso) album. This song is a classical crossover style is the most intense in the concert, orchestral accompaniment also appropriately. She sang first fill their own English lyrics, the latter half of the conversion of the Italian lyrics. Very special, this interpretation can hear her Italian concert aria subtle shift to more bel canto singing, also allows us a brief glimpse of her vocal concert skill.
First half immortal hits of " Les Miserables "(Les Misérables)" I Dreamed a Dream "as the finale of this interpretation than the last more sincere and affectionate promote as a wave of percussion, plus layered, deeply touched the audience The hearts of the fans. But unfortunately, the latter half of the climax has suddenly join the "Leap contact rhythm like a karaoke OK, unexpected damage to the first half of gradually creating a perfect atmosphere, alas, originally heard'm about to Pan tears. But Hayley really sing great! Especially the long part of the sound, the first high-pitched flow smoothly turn gentle, not only full of gas, and more, in the same note, the same breath in the implication delicate level.
The second half Hayley appearance dressed in bright red clothes. Introduction Enya (Enya) for the film "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring) the creation of the theme song" May It Be ", when she and fans share their nostalgia appreciate the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies filmed in New Zealand, will feel beautiful endemic feel like being home. I am particularly fond of the Elvish singing the chorus, to retain the original song's ethereal, dreamy, hazy but is different from Enya.
"Summer Fly" is " bright "(Celtic Treasure) album full of a favorite song, Hayley special guide fans say this track is very international concert came to American songs. Permeated with a strong summer style melody, Hayley gently dancing to the rhythm, more mellow than the album version. The pity is that the violin solo part is very heavy, do not take on the song's brisk playful.
Rainy Night Flower Taiwanese songs highlight of the concert, the the hyperbolic mashups version previously Hayley had appeared in Tainan activities middle blend with her signature hits: unique "Rainy Night Flower / Amazing Grace . " Part of "Amazing Grace" and the special "paradise" version of the song of the Japanese version of the album are subject to English and Japanese bilingual interspersed with stunning picture of a song, two sections of the melody, in three languages, ".
Hayley talked about songwriting "Both Sides Now" and admire singers Joni Mitchell, it is easy to think of the music of her own promise: singing, lyricist, composer of all-round development. I love the lyrics of this song mood, really an array of a masterpiece!
Each concert will duet "涙そtheうそう" (Tears), this is still absent. Hayley's voice is fully open, and singing penetrate surging music, soulful interpretation Natsukawa songs in the United States.
"You Raise Me Up" by Secret Garden (Secret Garden) creation, transboundary canto artists will sing songs of saliva, Hayley period in the visiting angels diva (Celtic Woman) once and they chorus over song, but this times is rare solo version. Even whether the countless classical crossover or pop music there are several versions, Hayley still sing her own taste.
"Thousands of theのwind ni naって" (turned into thousands of wind) is also full of her often sing one of the songs mesh. This concert is the most amazing is the end of that long sound of gentle stretches thin!
"The Moon Represents My Heart" song I think Hayley really is more singing more to get started, since the Chinese pronunciation was ease, feeling she put more thought this emotional interpretation. The middle of the beautiful singing really people probably only use beyond perfect person to understand what is meant by "the oriole Valley" to describe it!
Quickly, to the last song "I Believe". Usually Hayley like "Wuthering Heights" as the finale of the concert concludes with this selection of Japanese songs to really not used: P.
In thunderous applause, Hayley again descended appeared, singing the first song encore. She said she has been very much like to sing this song (in fact, she guest Celtic Woman once sang Hello) fortunate Music Director Tim just completed their own arranger, although there are outstanding orchestra accompaniment, but she conductors to She individually accompaniment by Tim. The original song is " handed down the classic "Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz . Proved she insist that it is the only piano accompaniment. Worthy is the music director of the long-term cooperation, two tacit great. A touch of minimalist piano chord accompaniment, restore the of Hayley purest tone. Familiar melody, and she sang the new life!
This song over and over enthusiastic fans shouted wish her a happy birthday. Hayley says with a laugh birthday After a few hours before arrival and have to grow old, but she is very happy tonight everyone birthday in Taiwan, then south to continue the concert trip.
The second song encore song "Never Saw Blue" has been one of my selfish love song Hayley in the prelude to the sound, ready to rock out, but also specifically to rush supplement that is a love song. Experienced a few years of experience, and also with the fiance, this song is not only when the album's Lyric Pieces, reflect her maturity, her feelings of a melody.
After the end of the concert, Hayley cordial signature patiently for the fans, simple greetings, no way was tired, really is very close to the people! Wait until I finally line up in front of her, she accept a small gift I prepared signature moment, we feel that the wait is definitely worth! Beautiful night end, but way back chat and friends Hayley also very pleasant. Hayley's new album is nearing completion, and am looking forward to her new work issue!

From this angle, the stage doesn't look like a "T" shape. Hope it does not rain, it could use a bit of sun. Lovely review! Although quite a bit of it is mumbo-jumbo to me. But, judging by the review, it sounds like Hayley accompanied herself on guitar! Not sure though. -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifActually no, she was accompanied by her guitarist. |
