Kölner Philharmonie

The music was awesome, as expected. Sona performed and entertained the audience nicely. Although the evening was scheduled to last for 2h with no intermediate, we left the Philharmonie after 1.5 h, including the "Extra" Zugabe. As to the acoustics, all instrument came along nicely and clearly, only Sona's voice appeared to be scattered, Not sure if that was a technical problem or my rear seat. All in all, an enjoyable evening. Hope to see her soon around Cologne.

Perfect

Unbeschreiblich ☀️

Wondrous! The show was opened by an experimental Jazz duo, Joe Quartz, whom Glen had invited from Paris, before Glen and his band entered the stage. The first few songs from the new album (This Wild Willing) were stirring with an angry undercurrent but transitioned into quieter ones with mercurial ease. They then softened into the gracefully intimate sound of his earlier albums (e.g. Rhythm And Repose, The Swell Season, Didn’t He Ramble), just to let it grow into the blasting soundscape of a big band. Glen interspersed the set with anecdotes on the songs’ making, with birthday greetings for Paula Hughes and Joe Doyle, with a guest appearance and with lots of humour, of course. The evening concluded with a beautiful unplugged rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Passing Through”.
