PER SORENSEN PERFORMING ONSTAGE AT RESORTS WORLD MANILA ON DEC. — MICHELLE ANNE P. SOLIMANBy Michelle Anne P. Soliman, ReporterConcert ReviewThe Voice of Fra Lippo LippiDec. Best free dj software. 6Newport Performing Arts Theater,Resorts World Manila, Pasay CityWE WERE ON EDSA some time in the 1990s when dad played the album Fra Lippo Lippi’s The Virgin Years: Greatest Hits (1997) on the car’s stereo system, the New Wave music filling the space as we made our way home. That is how I was introduced to the unique sound of the Norwegian duo whose group name I did not know then — not until I found the old album hidden deep in a shelf in my early teens.Many years later, I got a chance to Fra Lippo Lippi’s frontman Per Sorensen perform live in concert. Sorensen kept the Fra Lippo Lippi brand, after splitting with his partner Rune Kristofferson in 2002.
This time he was performing with his two sons.On the evening of Dec. 6, the audience found the stage of the lightly populated Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila in Pasay City divided in two — on the right was a band which included a bass guitarist, drummer, and keyboard player; on the left, the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of maestro Rodel Colmenar. The two groups were separated by a white baby grand piano at the center.When the music started, the stage lit up with psychedelic colors and patterns on the theater’s giant LED screen. Dressed in a pale suit and black shirt, Per Sorensen sang the first lines to “Distance Between Us” (1986). The singer stood under the lights, his thinning light hair hinted at his age; but his voice sounded as pure as when I first heard it.The first song was followed by “Shouldn’t Have to Be Like That” (1986), played simply on piano; then Mr.
Sorensen stood in front of a microphone for “Even Tall Trees Bend” (1986).After the first three songs, the singer spoke to the audience, telling them that some Filipino fans had sent messages to his official Facebook page about which songs they hoped he would perform that evening. He proceeded to sing “Mother’s Little Soldier” (1990) which was one of the songs which his fans had said meant a lot to them when they went through difficult times.By 9 p.m.
The theater’s empty seats were mostly filled. “There’s more people here now — I thought you didn’t have much traffic in Manila?” the singer joked.The audience fell quiet when he proceeded to play his favorite song, “Will I Recognize” (2002) on the piano and showcased his well-maintained vocals; this was followed by a lovely string section-accompanied rendition of “Light and Shade” (1987).The first segment of the show ended with an energetic solo performance on electric guitar and vocals by his son, Jack Holldorff.The second half of the show saw Mr. Sorensen returned to the stage dressed all in black, and he proceeded to perform “Regrets” (1986), “Angel” (1987), and a sorrowful ballad, “I Will Hold You” (a song he had written about dealing with a difficult marriage) with Mr. Sorensen alternately playing the piano and an electric keyboard.The atmosphere in the theater shifted into an interactive sing-along with “Some People” (1988).
