This was one of 2006’s more unusual – and better – musical events.
Heike Makatsch, reformed Viva (local MTV competitor) VJ, sometime companion of Daniel Craig and actress of mild renown (“Love, actually”) reads Bob Dylan and Walther von der Vogelweide at the Nibelungen Festival in Worms, accompanied by a lute player (whose name escapes me) and her Dad on guitar.
It was impressive.
Her diction is immaculate, her interpretation enthralling and the selection and juxtaposition of songs of freedom and independence – in both politics and in love, separated by 800 years – an absolute joy.
Can’t oblige with the original – just a playlist of the Dylan readings.
The best (or rarest or most interesting) takes from my library, plus a surprise guest,
Bob Dylan’s Dream
When The Ship Comes In
Mr. Tambourine Man [Live]
Masters Of War [Live]
The Times They Are A-Changin’
Like a Rolling Stone
John Brown
Don’t think twice, it’s alright
Tomorrow Is Such A Long Time
Wedding Song
Things have changed
Let Me Die In My Footsteps
Forever Young – Bob Dylan
Enjoy anyway
