Puritanic(?) Irishman

Chris de Burgh impresses also without band

At least every 2 years Chris de Burgh launches a new album and reached 
after all 45 millions sold albums worldwide. With his new work "TRTF" the 
Irishman fulfills himself a long cherished desire: this time he only 
composed and recorded songs which he can present at concerts without band, 
just alone with guitar or piano. The quality of his new songs benefits 
from this new won independence - with spiritual striking, spanish, celtic, 
and north american melodies. Beside the new songs of course he will play 
the greatest hits from 17 albums i.e. "LIR", "DPTF" or "Liberty" (personal 
note: either the journalist is a true fan or how else would he know of 
"Liberty"??) These songs from the charismatic world star de Burgh to hear 
performed solo in the extraordinay atmosphere of the Philharmonie 
certainly is a very special concert experience.
