Новият BLACKMORE’S NIGHT “THE VILLAGE LANTERNE” [STEAMHAMMER/ SPV/ Wizard] излиза на 27 Март [!] Последни детайли : - 16 February 2006

Individuality and true musical greatness are marked by an artist who follows his own intuition, without being influenced by other people's expectations. Ritchie Blackmore's integrity may occasionally seem strange, if not indeed doubtful to many a Deep Purple and Rainbow fan, but it shows that he is one of the best and most exceptional contemporary musicians in every respect. With his band, Blackmore’s Night, featuring his partner, the vocalist Candice Night, Blackmore has certainly not broken with his previous creative forms of expression. Quite the opposite: the songs on his current album, The Village Lanterne, document unmistakably that there's still the rock musician inside him. But Blackmore has not remained static in his development, he has allowed his penchant for medieval music, which already shone through on many of his hard rock compositions, to culminate in his very own, unique style of music. He calls it "renaissance rock with a lot of folk and balladesque influences." On The Village Lanterne, Blackmore’s Night combine great vocal melodies, seemingly archaic instrumentations and virtuoso guitar parts with lyrics that allow the listener to dive deep into a mysterious, romantic world.

In the process, Blackmore continues to develop his ability as a composer and instrumentalist without ever denying his former artistic identity. 'Mond Tanz/ Child In Time' is the resurrection of one of Deep Purple's greatest hits in a new guise, and 'Street Of Dreams' is a haunting new edition of the Rainbow classic. Both songs represent the close artistic links to Blackmore's work in the Seventies and Eighties. At the same time, 'Just Call My Name,' 'St. Teresa' or 'I Guess It Doesn’t Matter' show that his rock musician's heart remains ever-present in his new compositions. He says: "The song always comes first for me, the guitar takes second place. Which is precisely what a lot of my colleagues can't seem to understand. They ask: 'Why is Ritchie doing this? Why doesn't he highlight his skills as a guitarist?' But I play for an average audience, not exclusively for musicians. My audience wants to hear real songs, not some guitarist gone wild."

This is one of the reasons why there are also the more laid-back, romantic numbers on The Village Lanterne, which allow Candice Night to express all the different facets of great emotions between melancholia and pure joie de vivre. On the title track and on 'Faerie Queen', she seems to blend together with Blackmore's acoustic guitar, while '25 Years' displays oriental influences. Then there are wonderful moments, such as the folkloric instrumental numbers 'The Messenger' and 'Village Dance', and the beguiling 'World Of Stone,' 'Olde Mill Inn' and 'Windmills.' The current studio album is rounded off by a new version of Ralph McTell's 'Streets Of London.' Makes a total of 14 Songs on The Village Lanterne that no music friend with healthy ears will be able to ignore. And by the way: the limited special edition features an alternative version of 'Street of Dreams,' sung by original Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner. A real gem!

Following his global success as Deep Purple and Rainbow's guitarist and main composer, Blackmore changed his musical form of expression in the mid-Nineties and founded Blackmore's Night together with his partner, Candice Night. Fans and press were equally fascinated by their 1997 debut album, Shadow Of The Moon, with its successful mix of wonderful melodies and magnificent guitar parts. "In the beginning, my fingers were not used to the acoustic guitar," Blackmore recalls the early stages, which apparently were not so easy for him. "With Deep Purple we often played wild stuff, which never seemed to sound wrong. You just let your guitar howl and whimper, and people were deeply impressed. An acoustic guitar requires a totally different technique." Shadow Of The Moon stayed in the German album charts for 17 weeks and went gold in Japan. The band toured churches, opera houses, theatres and castles all over the world with their next release, Under A Violet Moon, out in spring 1999, which went to no. 20 in Germany and to no. 12 in the Japanese charts.

Their 2001 release, Fires At Midnight, marked a continuation of their success and went to no. 9 in the German album charts (no. 20 in Japan), impressing fans and media alike. Past Times With Good Company (2002) was the first live album by Blackmore's Night, followed twelve months later by the studio recording Ghost Of A Rose, featuring new material. The 2004 release, Beyond The Sunset - The Romantic Collection, brought together the most beautiful ballads from the early years. Then followed an all-embracing double DVD, entitled Castles And Dreams, with almost four hours playing time.
