rn Entertainer Roy Horn (Siegfried & Roy) overleden in Las Vegas By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 04:43:13 +0200 In een ziekenhuis in Las Vegas is de Duitse dompteur en illusionist Roy Horn overleden aan de gevolgen van het coronavirus. Hij was 75 jaar. Horn werd wereldberoemd met de extravagante leeuwen- en tijgershows die hij jarenlang met partner Siegfried Fischbacher maakte. Aan het succes van Siegfried & Roy kwam abrupt een einde toen Horn in 2003 tijdens een optreden werd aangevallen door een van zijn dieren. Hij raakte zwaargewond en worstelde sindsdien met zijn gezondheid. Vorige week werd een coronabesmetting bij hem vastgesteld. "De wereld is een van de grote goochelaars kwijtgeraakt en ik mijn beste vriend", reageert Siegfried Fischbacher op het overlijden van Horn. "Vanaf het moment dat we elkaar troffen, wist ik dat Roy en ik de wereld zouden veranderen. Er is geen Siegfried zonder Roy en geen Roy zonder Siegfried." In 1999 kregen Siegfried & Roy een ster op de Hollywood Walk of Fame: Als kind was Horn al gefascineerd door exotische dieren en had een jachtluipaard als huisdier. Deze Chico nam hij ook mee toen hij ging werken op een cruiseschip, eind jaren 50. Het was daar dat hij Fischbacher ontmoette, die naast zijn werk op het schip ook kleine goocheltrucs deed om de gasten te vermaken. Roy ging hem daarbij helpen en zo ontstond 's wereld bekendste illusionistenduo. Na optredens overal ter wereld kwamen Horn en Fischbacher in 1967 met hun goochelshow in Las Vegas terecht. De Siegfried & Roy Show waarmee ze uiteindelijk in het hotelcasino The Mirage stonden, was bij aanvang in 1990 met een productiebudget van 30 miljoen dollar verreweg de grootste en duurste show in de gokstad. Illusionist Hans Klok reageert geschrokken op het overlijden van de beroemde dompteur en illusionist. Hij had pas eerder deze week gehoord dat Roy met corona in het ziekenhuis lag, maar had erop gerekend dat hij er weer bovenop zou komen. "Hij had immers ook een aanval van een tijger overleefd", zei Klok in het NOS Radio 1 Journaal. Voor de Nederlandse illusionist golden Siegfried & Roy als "hele grote voorbeelden". Hij kende Siegfried en Roy al tientallen jaren heel goed en voelde zich ook altijd erg gesteund door het Duitse duo. "Ze hebben ongelooflijk veel betekend voor de magic-wereld", aldus Klok. Na de onaangekondigde show met de cheetah op het cruiseschip werden Siegfried & Roy ontslagen. "De kapitein van het schip was er niet zo erg blij mee", aldus Klok. Ze werden daarna gevraagd voor het Rode Kruis gala in Monte Carlo. Prins Rainier en prinses Gracia (de voormalige filmster Grace Kelly) zaten vooraan. Grace Kelly droeg een bontjas "en dat ruikt een dier natuurlijk. Dus Siegfried & Roy laten die cheetah verschijnen en die maakt een sprong en vliegt bovenop Grace Kelly. Dat was wereldnieuws." In de jaren 60 vertrokken Siegfried & Roy naar Las Vegas "en kregen hier te horen 'magic is not gonna work in this city' en de rest is history", zegt Klok. Twintig jaar lang waren ze de best betaalde artiesten in Las Vegas. "Zij, Elvis Presley en Frank Sinatra zijn de mensen die Las Vegas in de afgelopen decennia hebben opgebouwd tot wat het nu is."

rn Mogelijk drugsafval gedumpt midden in woonwijk Arnhem By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 10:41:05 +0200 In een woonwijk in Arnhem zijn vanochtend ten minste veertig vaten met chemisch afval aangetroffen. De politie vermoedt dat het gaat om drugsafval van een illegaal laboratorium. Vaten met drugsafval worden vaker gedumpt, vooral in Brabant en Limburg, maar ook in Gelderland. Meestal gebeurt dat buiten de bebouwde kom. Maar nu lagen de vaten aan de Randweg in Arnhem, midden in een groene woonwijk ten zuiden van de Rijn. "Dat het zo midden in een woonwijk ligt, zien we vaker. Daar maken wij ons wel zorgen over", zegt politiewoordvoerder Marèl van Steenbergen bij Omroep Gelderland. De vaten zijn inmiddels geruimd door een gespecialiseerd bedrijf. Derde vondst in korte tijd Het is het derde incident met drugsafval deze week in Arnhem-Zuid en het nabijgelegen Elst.

De politie onderzoekt of er een verband is tussen de drie dumpingen, meldt dagblad De Gelderlander. Full Article

rn GLASS, P.: Violin Concerto No. 2, `American Four Seasons` / Violin Sonata (Plawner, Vila, Bern Chamber Orchestra, P. Bach) (8.559865) By www.naxos.com Published On :: Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT Philip Glass has become an iconic figure in American music. His works are often inspired by collaborations with other leading musicians, and the proposal of an “American Four Seasons” by the violinist Robert McDuffie to reflect Vivaldi’s famous masterpiece resulted in a concerto which evokes the Baroque spirit of early 18th-century violin tradition. With the Concerto’s range of moods, listeners are invited to decide for themselves which season the music evokes. The Violin Sonata sees Glass’s melodic and harmonic language haunted by the ghosts of Brahms, Fauré and Franck, “the meditativeness of this piece bringing a unique energy” for award-winning violinist Piotr Plawner.
