De Bilbao à Buenos Aires, de Los Angeles à Rio, de Mexico à Caracas, qui ne connaît pas Shakira? Méga star dans le monde hispano, Shakira part à l'assaut du reste du monde. A seulement 24 ans, la Colombienne a déjà un beau palmarès: premier contrat chez Sony et premier album Magia à 13 ans, trois albums multimillionnaires, un Grammy, deux Latin Grammys, un contrat publicitaire mirobolant avec Pepsi et des tournées à n'en plus finir. Même le prix Nobel de littérature Gabriel Garcia Marquez ne tarit pas d'éloge à son sujet et met en exergue sa "sensualité innocente". Mais tout cela n'est pas assez pour cette passionnée de nature qui veut conquérir le monde. Et fatalement ce grand défi passe par un album en anglais. Elle décide de s'entourer des plus grands, notamment Gloria et Emilio Estefan qui traduisent Ojos Asi, tube incontestable de son troisième album, qui devient Eyes Like Yours. Shakira se lance alors dans l'écriture d'un album en anglais. C'est chose faite avec Laundry Service dans lequel on retrouve ce métissage propre à Shakira. En 2005, la Colombienne fait son grand retour avec le double album Fijacion Oral / Oral Fixation, dont les 2 volets, le 1er en espagnol, le 2nd en anglais, sortent à 6 mois d'intervalle.

Piano Solo-Programme note“Light of a Night (Paul meets bird)” was commissioned by pianist Aki Takahashi. It is a “reworked” arrangement for piano of the Beatles song ”Blackbird”. As some of us will recall the Beatles on “The White Album” let the beautiful song to the blackbird be accompanied by an (apparently) live blackbird song. It is this authentic bird-motif world that in “Light of a Night” weaves itself into the Beatles melody and in turn is gradually infected by it so that a completely new third entity ensues: a kind of Bird-rock ballad (or maybe it is aBeatle-bird?) Per Nørgård Light Of A Night is part of 'Animals in Concert':  1. A Tortoise´s Tango (1984) – dur.: 4´  2. Light of a Night – Paul meets bird (1989) - dur.: 6´  3. Hermit Crab Tango – Esperanza (1997) - dur.: 5´ The pieces can be performed together or one by one. 

Per Nørgård's Tidsrum / Spaces Of Time for Orchestra with obligate Piano dating from 1991. Programme Note Spaces of time is a 20-minute long one-movement orchestral piece “with piano” signifying that the piano not only as in my other orchestra works is part of the ensemble but also in a major passage attracts almost all attention. This passage is only one of the ´spaces of time´- spaces which give the work its title and represent individual musical perspectives.  Relations of tempo and scale characterize such a space (besides the mentioned“piano-concerto” or other intrumental features) and in this way associate with say a small room - with close-ups of the musical objects - or perhaps to an infinitely great space - a cosmic one where all is far away and vibrating.  One motive marked mainly by ascending stepwise movement unifies the spaces but the very varied scales may let the outines of the motive change between say 1/4-tone steps 1/2-tone steps diatonic and other scale steps up to such ambient steps that each one comprises almost a third of the total orchestral range. Very often 2 scales are woven together in a way that lets the “hidden tone” inside a major step in one of the scaels become a part of the other scale. By dynamic means one scale may be highlighted as a “figure” the other one as a “ground” in one passage - and vice versa. In this way a 12-tone chromatic scale may as well contain a Japanese 5-tone scale as a European 7-tone scale. In the final “space” the tones literally take leave of the listeners - by streaming down - as water sucked down into the ground by gravity - into the bass octaves and - into silence.  Spaces of time was comissioned by “Suntory Hall” in 1990-91 (artistic director Toro Takemitsu) in October 1991 with Aki Takahashi (piano)
