NOTAS DESDE LA ATALAYA
Leonard Cohén sublima su arte creador en el emotivo 'Dear Heather'

A Leonará Cohén, la sabiduría le conduce a la desnudez, a la humildad. Nada queda por simular, ninguna cumbre espera ser conquistada: queda la canción reducida a su esencia, que no es poco. Dear Heather, el disco de su 70° aniversario, es el diario de su emotivo cara a cara con el crepúsculo. El cuaderno de notas de un artista cuya obra se queda, poco a poco, en los huesos, que se nos escapa de las manos al ritmo de un vals esbozado con un sintetizador de bolsillo

Sensibilizado por la miniatura tras las majestuosas letanías de Ten new songs, el maestro entrega canciones de acabado modesto que caen a plomo como sondas en un océano en calma. The letters, Undertow y The-re/oryou cautivan por su esbozada belleza interior; se abren paso con un ritmo de procesión, aditivos sencillos y junto a dos voces amigas. No es el Cohén que tomará Manhattan, sino un vigía que, aunque somno-liento, sigue siendo grande.

NOTES FROM the WATCHTOWER Leonard Cohén sublimate their creative art in the touching one to 'Dear Heather' To Leonará Cohén, the wisdom leads to him to the nakedness, humility. Nothing is to simulate, no summit hopes to be conquered: its essence has left the reduced song, that is not little. Dear Heather, the disc of his 70° anniversary, is the newspaper of its touching face to face with the twilight. The note notebook of an artist whose work remains, little by little, in the bones, that escape us of the hands to the rate of vals outlined with a sintetizador of pocket Sensitized by the miniature after the majestic litanies of Ten new songs, masterful the delivery songs of finished modest that fall to lead as soundings in the ocean in calm. The letters, Undertow and The-re/oryou captivate by his outlined inner beauty; they break through with a procession rate, simple additives and next to two voices friends. It is not the Cohén that will take Manhattan, but a watch that, although somno-liento, continues being great. Jordi Bianciotto The PERIODIC

Thanks for the interpretation, Lightning. It seems the majority of reviews are sensitive to Leonard's perspective.
