LEONARD COHEN
Leonard Cohen has admirers in some unexpected places. over the Christmas break, Prince Charles selected “Take This Waltz” on a special edition of radio 3’s Private Passions. “I’ve always loved Leonard Cohen’s voice and his whole approach to the way he sang,” said the heir to the throne. “He was obviously incredibly sophisticated in the way he sang, but also wrote. I find it very moving.” Cohen, of course, lived for a short while in London during his mid-twenties; though I’m not certain he ever publicly aired his views of the British monarchy. nevertheless, Charles’ pick reminds us of the enduring qualities of Cohen’s music, his abundant gifts as a writer and singer. This issue, our investigation of Cohen’s musical history – a study of his key albums, illuminated by his principal collaborators – reveals an artist
whose work has gained a kind of mythic potency.
