沪上的音乐爱好者而言，早已对这场音乐会期待已久，不是古典音乐爱好者的观众对演出的好奇与日俱增，是怎一位“华兹之王”带他的乐团横扫全球各大演出市场，能与Lady Gaga 、U2、麦当娜等一起跻身2012年世界年度十佳热门巡演？他到底属于古典？还是流行？昨晚，安德烈·里欧和他的乐团用一场完美的演出解答了所有疑问。演出在7点半准时开场，安德烈-里欧和他的乐团标志性地穿过内场观众席走上舞台，很多观众第一次看到穿五颜六色的宫廷华服在舞台上演奏，仿佛有种时光穿梭回到19世纪的欧洲皇室晚会。安德烈-里欧用他的“挚爱”——一把1732年的斯特拉迪瓦里(Stradivarius)提琴边演奏变指挥，(这片土地是我的)、< Song of Olympia >( 奥林匹亚之歌)、< Libertango >(自由探戈)，当然少不了安德烈的成名曲< Second Waltz >(第二华兹)都经过重新编曲，在安德烈·里欧的诠释下注入了新的音乐生命。

瑞典流行乐队 ABBA 发行的一首名为——钱 钱 钱的歌
曲改编的音乐。
"Money, Money, Money" is a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA, written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It was released as a single on 1 November 1976, as the follow-up to "Dancing Queen" (both from the album Arrival). The B-side, "Crazy World", was recorded in 1974 during the sessions for the album ABBA.
The video for "Money, Money, Money" was inspired by the film Cabaret, showing Frida wearing a hat typical of the 1920s. The video varies from her determined presence in
reality during the verses, to the dream sequences about money
Opinion: The world’s worst investment bubble will burst soon
By Howard Gold Published: June 11, 2015 5:00 a.m. ET
In China, all the signs are there, but not many investors see them Bloomberg News/Landov Almost 85% of China-listed companies are trading at higher multiples today than they did at the previous market top in 2007. Investment bubbles always look so obvious in hindsight. But when you’re in the middle of one, it’s hard to fight the crowd, even if that little voice in your head tells you to run for the hills.
Why? Bubbles produce compelling narratives that give people reasons to believe. The Internet is changing everything. Housing prices never go down. Tulips are the most precious commodity on God’s green Earth, etc.
Now the same thing is happening again in China, a market that has had one huge bubble burst only recently. The Shanghai Composite index briefly topped 6,000 in October 2007 only to plummet to just above 1,700, a sickening 70% plunge in only 12 months.
But a mere seven years later, Shanghai is above 5,000 again, and the bulls say more gains lie ahead, even though China’s economy is slowing dramatically and some valuations already are stratospheric.
They’re counting on China’s central bank to keep cutting rates. It already has reduced them three times in the past six months. Sound familiar?
Also, the Chinese government has eased trading restrictions on foreign investors. On Tuesday, index provider MSCI said it “expects to include China A shares in its global benchmarks” once it works out some issues with Chinese regulators. A flood of institutional money would presumably follow.
Indeed, mutual fund company Vanguard said last week it would gradually increase the number of mainland China-traded A shares in its Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund VEIEX, -0.23% and ETF VWO, +0.02%
This macro “story” has powered Shanghai 150% higher in the past 12 months. Shenzhen and other mainland markets with riskier, more speculative stocks have nearly tripled.
With the animal spirits unleashed, average Chinese investors are piling in. In a reverse of what happened in the U.S. in the 2000s, Chinese investors fleeing a busted housing market have thrown their money into stocks. Talk about going from the wok to the fire!
Consider these worrisome signs:
• China’s GDP growth slowed to 7% in the first quarter, the slowest since the Great Recession, and that figure may be overstated by 1 to 2 percentage points, according to Capital Economics.
• Analysts project earnings growth of companies listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen will be 7% in 2015, the lowest in three years, Reuters reported. The biggest culprits: banks grappling with a surfeit of bad loans ...
