Rise Up (Cliff Richard Album)
''Rise Up'' is the 44th studio album by British pop singer Cliff Richard, released on 23 November 2018 by Vox Rock and Warner Music. It was promoted as Richard's first album of new material in 14 years following 2004's '' Something's Goin' On'', as most of his albums since then were compilations, covers projects, or a combination of the two (with the possible exception of his 2011 album '' Soulicious'', which contains primarily new material, with 11 original songs out of 15). The album followed Richard's legal battle with the BBC, and he said of the album's title, "I chose 'Rise Up' as the title track because after the bad period I went through in my life, I've managed to rise up out of what seemed like a quagmire". Richard also said he hoped the album would attract a new audience: "I could be recognised by some of these younger people to be a valuable artist. I'm not messing around with it, it's for real". The album reached number four on the UK Albums Chart and was certif ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) is a British symphony orchestra based in London, England. The RPO was established by Thomas Beecham in 1946. In its early days, the orchestra secured profitable recording contracts and important engagements including the Glyndebourne Festival Opera and the concerts of the Royal Philharmonic Society. After Beecham's death in 1961, the RPO's fortunes declined steeply. The RPO battled for survival until the mid-1960s, when its future was secured after a report by the Arts Council of Great Britain recommended that it should receive public subsidy. A further crisis arose in the same era when it seemed that the orchestra's right to call itself "Royal" could be withdrawn. In 2004, the RPO acquired its first permanent London base, at Cadogan Hall in Chelsea, London, Chelsea. The RPO also gives concerts at the Royal Festival Hall, the Royal Albert Hall and venues around the United Kingdom and other countries. Since the start of the 2021–2022 seas ...
