by HvD translation by Astrid Nolde-Gallasch Singer with cuddly voice and self irony Unrestrained flirt with kitsch: Chris de Burgh presents himself as a "star to touch" in the Nürnberger Meistersingerhalle When the career is over, he wants to sell icecream in Germany. But it isn't that far yet, his fans still want to hear him and fill for example the Nürnberger Meistersingerhalle, when Chris de Burgh gives a concert. The Irishman with the cuddly voice and the liking for goosebump ballads has been celebrating his biggest successes in Germany for years. He has a regular audience in this country that is true to him also or especially because not much has changed with Chris musically lately. The new album "The Road To Freedom" that Chris de Burgh introduces in Nürnberg solo without the support of a band could similarly as well have been released in the eighties or nineties. But the bard has become a bit more self ironic, his lyrics take the inevitable aging into account. His marriage life is "five past dreams", the love has to give way to routine, a bottle of beer warms the bard almost as well as passion once did. |
