New Releases by Elton John

The unforgettable story, decades before Ted Lasso, of the real-life Watford Football Team, transformed into a powerhouse by coach Graham Taylor and owner Elton John. Nothing has brought English soccer more immediately into the American mainstream than Ted Lasso, which captivated the nation in thirty-four episodes over three seasons. But before there was Jason Sudeikis’s lovable and, at first, hapless AFC Richmond, there was Watford Football Club, a team from the outskirts of London with barely enough fans to fill its stands—and which, in the mid-1970s, was languishing in 92nd place at the bottom of the last division of the English Football League. That is, until rock superstar Elton John—who, with his dad, had followed the team as a boy—bought the lowly franchise and, with legendary manager Graham Taylor, transformed the luckless football club into a top-seeded Premier League team. Inspiring, funny, and ultimately heartbreaking, Watford Forever recalls the improbably tender relationship between Elton John and Taylor, a straight-talking former fullback, who together beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a struggling community.

”Jag lever och har levt ett liv utöver det vanliga, och jag skulle ärligt talat inte vilja ändra på något, inte ens bitarna jag ångrar, för jag är enormt glad över hur allting blev.” Detta är Elton Johns egen livsteckning, historien om ett svindlande liv i och bortom rampljuset. Från de första årens familjedramer och artistdrömmar, genom en ungdom där svårigheter och sorger hållit jämna steg med framgången, fram till de senaste årens livsomvälvande händelser formas en av vår tids största stjärnor och nyskapare inför läsarens ögon. En intim skildring av vuxenblivande och inre kamp i en miljö där gränser ständigt sprängs.

In zijn eerste en enige autobiografie vertelt poplegende Elton John het verhaal van zijn buitengewone leven: hoe het verlegen jongetje Reginald Dwight transformeerde tot de 23-jarige ster die het publiek tijdens zijn eerste Amerikaanse tournee verbijsterde met zijn felgele tuinbroek en een handstand. Openhartig schrijft hij over de eerste afwijzing van zijn werk tot het bestormen van de hitparades; over de vriendschappen met Bernie Taupin, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury en George Michael; over de excessen en de verslavingen die hem decennialang in hun greep hielden, maar ook hoe hij weer clean werd en eindelijk zijn grote liefde vond. Dit is Elton John - warm, grappig en oprecht - over zijn muziek en relaties, zijn successen en zijn mislukkingen.

Der Mitschnitt des spektakulären Auftritts von Elton John im Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Der exaltierte Künstler trat in seiner Karriere über 200-mal in der Wüstenstadt auf, im September 2011 fand aber trotzdem eine Premiere statt. Neben ihm stand sein Instrument, ein in mehreren Jahren entstandener Spezialflügel, im Mittelpunkt. Dieser gab der Show auch den Namen. Die in Bild und Ton perfekt eingefangene Show beinhaltete natürlich die gröt︣en Hits, die Elton John mal solo, mal in kleiner Besetzung oder mit Bigband-Begleitung aufführte. Making-of, Live in Kiev.

Elton John est un survivant. Il en prend conscience dans les années 80 alors que la plupart de ses amis artistes meurent les uns après les autres d’une maladie alors mal connue et objet d’autant de préjugés que de répulsion. Pourtant il continue à vivre comme avant : excès de drogue et de sexe... Dans ce livre très émouvant, Elton John se livre pour la première fois. Sa remise en question démarre en 1985 alors qu’il accompagne Ryan White, jeune malade du Sida, tout au long de son agonie. Il est témoin de l’ostracisme dont sont victimes ces malades et décide de se battre contre lui. En 1990, il commence une cure de désintoxication dont il narre les souffrances, en sort six mois plus tard et ne replongera jamais plus dans les excès du passé... Rapidement, il crée sa fondation, l’EJAF – Elton John Aid Fondation – et parcourt le monde pour soutenir les organismes qui aident les malades. Pour lui, ce fléau n’est pas une épidémie comme les autres : c’est une maladie de la misère et de l’indifférence qui touche les plus démunis et les plus faibles. Et quand on vit dans un pays qui condamne l’homosexualité comme la Thaïlande, l’Ukraine, l’Afrique du sud, l’Inde... – où l’homosexualité n’est plus un crime que depuis 2009 –, l’absence de compassion, la crainte de la condamnation sociale et familiale font plus de mal encore que le virus lui-même. Avec son bâton de pèlerin, Elton John va réussir à sensibiliser les gouvernements. Mais son indignation touche aussi les laboratoires qui profitent de la recherche publique pour créer leurs médicaments et l’Église catholique qui est longtemps restée opposée à l’usage des préservatifs. Aujourd’hui, l’EJAF a levé des fonds supérieurs à 275 millions de dollars et est active dans 55 pays mais le combat doit continuer. Le sida frappe 34 millions d’hommes avec un million et demi de morts chaque année et reste la sixième cause de mortalité dans le monde. Traduit de l’anglais par Jean-Marc Simard

A deeply personal account of Elton John's life during the era of AIDS and an inspiring call to action. In the 1980s, Elton John saw friend after friend, loved one after loved one, perish needlessly from AIDS. He befriended Ryan White, a young Indiana boy ostracized because of his HIV infection. Ryan's inspiring life and devastating death led Elton to two realizations: His own life was a mess. And he had to do something to help stop the AIDS crisis. Since then, Elton has dedicated himself to overcoming the plague and the stigma of AIDS. The Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised and donated $275 million to date to fighting the disease worldwide. Love Is the Cure includes stories of Elton's close friendships with Ryan White, Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, and others, and the story of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Sales of Love Is the Cure benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

The 1996 reissue of DON'T SHOOT ME I'M ONLY THE PIANO PLAYER was the first of two 1973 albums that sealed Elton John's superstardom. It included his first U.S. #1 single, the nostalgic "Crocodile Rock," along with one of his most enduring ballads, "Daniel," a veiled salute to a Vietnam vet. By now, John was at ease in almost any musical setting. While lyricist Bernie Taupin continued to feed him the usual mix of road songs, homages to the American West, and offbeat love ballads, John was flying ahead with an ambitious, try-anything agenda that effectively blurred the lines between AM pop and FM rock. "Crocodile Rock"'s whimsicality, with its vintage Farfisa organ, and "Daniel," a seductive studio concoction of keyboards and acoustic guitar, leaned toward the former. "Elderberry Wine" approached the latter, with its hard guitar sound and blues-rock horn-riffing, as did "Have Mercy On The Criminal," whose central riff echoes "Layla." "I'm Gonna Be A Teenage Idol," a tribute to Marc Bolan of T-Rex, lies tantalizingly across the center of the pop-rock line, sounding like a cabaret version of glitter-rock. By now, Elton John's place in history was assured; months later, his domination of his era would come to full fruition with the release of GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD.

inch....this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken inch. (Oliver James, Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.
