Performance Notes | "SINGER'S INCANTATORY STYLE. It is no mean achievement for a singer to create, in a crowded Albert Hall, the warmth and intimacy of a private party. But Leonard Cohen, the Canadian poet, song-writer and singer, accomplished this so successfully at the weekend that his large audience, even after half a dozen encores, was still reluctant to leave. His elliptical phrasing and at times almost Biblical imagery have no counterpart among othe rpop, folk or rock singers; the invantatory quality of his voice is inseperable from the songs. ...His is still the most original voice of a decade." (The Daily Telegraph, 23 September 1974) |
