Katy Perry 'Part Of Me' movie premiere in Sydney, Australia





Tonight Katy Perry walked the red carpet in Sydney, Australia, as she premiered her new movie 'Part Of Me'.

Hundreds of fans and dozens of news media were on had to witness the star promoting her new movie, and most fans were very happy with the end result - with Katy stopping and chatting and doing photographs with a multitude of fans.

Interview excerpt...

The Associated Press: Your relationship with Russell Brand supplies the narrative arc of the film. It's very personal. You're crying on screen. Is it the same to you as doing a break-up song like "Wide Awake"?
Perry: Oh my God, I have tear ducts! Crazy! I am human! I think it was important for me to leave some of the more difficult things in the film so that it wasn't just a narcissistic fanfare film about how great I am. Because I'm not all great. There might be moments of greatness but they are very hard-worked (sic). I think it was important to show that there are obstacles and problems in people's lives and it's OK if you have them. You just have to overcome them. ... Sometimes if you want to achieve something great, there will be curveballs. You just have to dodge them every once in a while.

Mariah Carey annotations regarding latest music


Mariah Carey has revealed that she is back in the recording studio.

The five-time Grammy-winning songstress - who made a surprise visit to London where she met some fans - dropped hints that a new track could be expected later this summer.

"Still working in the studio with friends o plenty! I love love this new song :)" she tweeted.
She also teased fans that a new album could be on the way, when she wrote: "Summer 2012... Been in the lab, mixing up some concoctions for you, hope you like it!!"

Mariah, who last starred in Lee Daniels' Precious, released her 13th album Merry Christmas II You in 2010.
The 42-year-old has been enjoying motherhood with one-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with presenter husband Nick Cannon, whom she married in 2008.

But she still found time for music as she collaborated with Justin Bieber for the re-release of her Christmas hit, All I Want for Christmas Is You, last December.

Janacek: Taras Bulba (CD review)

Also, Lachian Dances; Moravian Dances. Antoni Wit, Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. Naxos 8.572695.



Czech composer Leos Janacek (1854-1928) has never been the most-popular writer on the musical stage, but there are several of his works firmly established in the basic repertoire. Among these are his Sinfonietta as well as the subject of this disc, his "rhapsody for orchestra" as he called it, Taras Bulba, a piece in three movements he premiered in 1918 and which he based on sections of a novel by the Russian writer Nikolai Gogol. The three movements are small tone poems describing various episodes in the life of the seventeenth-century Cossack leader and warrior Taras Bulba and his vision of liberation for his people.



While one can find any number of fine recordings of the work on CD, for example those by Charles Mackerras and the Vienna Philharmonic (Decca) and Vaclav Neumann and the Czech Philharmonic (Supraphon), this new release from Maestro Antoni Wit and the Warsaw Philharmonic is almost as compelling, and one may safely mention it in the same breath.



The music opens with the "Death of Andrij," Taras Bulba's youngest son, who has fallen in love with the daughter of his enemy and fights against his father, only to have his father kill him. Wit takes the opening very gently, building the love theme carefully. As he does with the rest of the Rhapsody, Wit adopts a broadly lyrical approach, letting the musical pictures unfold gracefully and deliberately. Nevertheless, when the high drama arrives, Wit is ready for it and creates a heady forward momentum. In other words, you'll get both Romance and excitement from the conductor.



The central movement, "Death of Ostap," deals with the grief of Taras Bulba's eldest son, Ostap, for his brother, Ostap subsequently captured by the enemy Poles and taken to Warsaw for execution. Bulba the elder follows in disguise and calls out in anguish at his son's death. Wit recreates the pain of Bulba fairly effectively, the music gliding effortlessly along under his guidance. Mackerras probably adds a degree more passion to the atmosphere, but it's close.



The final movement, "Prophecy and Death of Taras Bulba," concerns the capture and death of Taras Bulba, and his final prophecy that "A Tsar shall arise from Russian soil, and there shall not be a power in the world which shall not submit to him!" Here, Wit clearly expounds upon the importance of Bulba's final exclamation and ends the work on a tragically melancholy yet triumphant note.



Coupled with the rhapsody we find two dance suites by Janacek, the Lachian Dances (1889-90) and the Moravian Dances (1891). Janacek based the suites largely on Czech folk music of his day and well before, the songs describing a countryside and traditions quickly fading. They exhibit a much lighter, more joyous tone than the Taras Bulba music, as we might expect, and hint of Dvorak. Wit appears to be enjoying himself, and so do we.



Naxos recorded the music at Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, Poland, in 2010-2011, obtaining generally good results. The sound is very smooth and natural, with a wider dynamic range and transient impact than we usually find on a Naxos release. Although the sonic picture is a tad lacking in overall transparency, bit heavy, and a slightly close-up, there is a decent sense of depth and space to the acoustic. Along with a strong bass accompaniment, the organ pedals sounding quite deep and authoritative, the result is pleasing, if not entirely "audiophile."

Karise Eden performs live at Westfield Sydney, Australia



Today performing artist Karise Eden performed for hundreds of Australian fans outside Westfield Sydney.

Ms Eden is almost the opposite of an "overnight success story".

When mates suggested she audition for 'The Voice', her initial thought was she wasn't keen on the idea.

She soon realised, with a little push from those who care about her, she had really nothing to lose, because the worst thing that could happen is that she would get kicked off the show.

Karise Eden now laughs at the thought of it, because never during the entire show did she think she had a chance of winning.

"I didn't ever [think I had a chance of winning], until my name was called out," Eden said.
The 19-year-old is still caught in the whirlwind of her win. She says she has not really had a chance to think about it because it has been "non-stop" since then.

Her debut album was released on Tuesday and the next day marked the start of a 10-day Australian tour from NSW to Western Australia and back, during which she will meet and perform for the fans who changed her life.

Today in Sydney's CBD's was just the latest stop as she travels Australia.

"I got through on public votes and to meet and hug and hand shake all the people that helped me get through each round, that is what's important, to see them face to face," Eden said.

Eden is expected to remain in the Australian top 10 for many more weeks.
