Loose: The Concert is the first live album by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado. Recorded at Air Canada Centre in Toronto during the Get Loose Tour, the DVD and accompanying CD of the concert was released on November 19, 2007 in United Kingdom and on November 20 in United States.
Nelly Furtado released her first live CD/DVD after the huge success of her third album Loose which was released over one year before the release of her DVD especially that her album has been certified gold or platinum in 31 countries and global sales have surpassed nine million. The DVD originated from the Get Loose Tour concert that happened on the April 4, 2007 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. It was directed by Raphael Ouellet with Aaron A who was also an audio engineer. A DVD extra includes a 30 minute documentary of the tour.
A concert is a form of musical performance.
The Concert (c. 1664) is a painting by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. The 69-centimeter-high by 63-centimeter-wide picture depicts a man and two women playing music. It belongs to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, but was stolen in 1990 and remains missing. It is thought to be the most valuable unrecovered stolen painting, with a value estimated at over $200,000,000.
The picture shows three musicians: a young woman sitting at a harpsichord, a man playing a lute, and a woman who is singing. The harpsichord's upturned lid is decorated with an Arcadian landscape; its bright colouring stands in contrast to the two paintings hanging on the wall to the right and left. Stringed instruments lie on and under the table in the picture's left foreground.
Of the two paintings in the background, the one on the right is The Procuress by Dirck van Baburen, a work which also appears in Vermeer's Lady Seated at a Virginal, probably painted around six years after The Concert. The painting on the left is a wild pastoral landscape. The musical theme in Dutch painting in Vermeer's time often connoted love and seduction, a motif reinforced by the presence of Baburen's sexually exuberant picture.
The Concert (or The Perils of Everybody) is a ballet made by Jerome Robbins, subsequently New York City Ballet's ballet master, to Chopin's:
The décor was by Saul Steinberg, the costumes by Irene Sharaff and the lighting by Ronald Bates. The premiere took place at City Center of Music and Drama, New York, on Tuesday, 6 March 1956. Robbins made three subsequent ballets to Chopin's music: Dances at a Gathering (1969), In the Night (1970), and Other Dances (1976), made for Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova.
