The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Thanks Vincent! Beautiful photos. The thing that I envy you to have attended a concert with an orchestra. In Italy we have not had that, since 1995, more opportunities. At most it was a string section borrowed. Perhaps in 1995 at the Teatro Smeraldo in Milan with Dionne was so. Is an experience that...

Dear friends, i know that you can not believe me, but during the several times that i met Burt in the four Italian concert i see, he told me about Rumer, " i don't like her voice ". Thinking at " Some lovers " was a little bit strange. But is true. After the contacts in Lucca and...

Concert at the Teatro Grande in Brescia. Burt and his band with two innovations: the brother of John Pagano on drums and a new piano in place of Rob Shrock: Bill Cantos. In the usual program, short version, some news: Cantos has performed the piano, singing "My Little Red Book", Josie sang...

There are times in everyone's life, where you will find a moment of immense joy, the resolution of all the mundane problems of your everyday life. Today is the moment! Burt returns to Italy! The official dates: 4 July in Rome - Caracalla, July in Milan, July 8 (unconfirmed) in Aosta, July 10 in Lucc...

Hello friends! Regarding the San Diego concert, there is a interesting new about the Burt performance. Probably he will only play the piano and the band direction will be made by Rob Shrock, his nearest collaborator. This concert will be only an occasion to check the Burt situation on stage. Maybe t...

In this day, one more time, i thank you for all the joy you bring me every day wen i hear your music! Ciao old young Burt!

Nice song, good but inusual interpretation. But...who care in U.S.A. about the poor Karima & Mario Biondi? Sadly is the undisputed truth!

Dear Steveo, Mimmo D'Alessandro, the Burt's italian producer, told me that the health situation is costantly in evolution. The his next previous meeting in L.A. his scheduled in september/october. Before this date will be a little bit difficault to see Burt in tourneè. Ciao from Italy. Claudio Novelli

Thank you Enormous for your reply. The only new is about the comment of mr. Crigger, a member of Burt's band, that's talking about the psycological strenght that our Father is showing every day! But will be enough to continue is career in this so brilliant period? Thanks in advance for all the helps...

It is strange that nobody says something about the two back surgery recently occoursed to Burt. And it is curious that Mark continue in his silence, when, it is almost shure, all the program for the 2010 will be changed. Here in Italy all the things are well known. Please...explaine!

Dear friends, the source of the new about our Burt is on Facebook at the address of his son: Elton Cristopher Bacharach.

Dear Mark, i know only that Karima and her manager Mimmo D'Alessandro, also Burt's italian producer from several years, will be in L.A. the first days of november. They will working about a project developed for Karima, for a brand new c.d. of her, with some songs of Burt. In the same time they will...

This is the best new i ever heard in the last years about our loved Maestro! In fact we are quite tired for hearing at every concert, more or less, and in every video, the classics, evergreen but " standard " songs! Burt is able to do much more than this! The time is so short......we hope ...
