Golden Heart

Il primo album da solista di MK, niente più Dire Straits ma sempre più voglia di raccontare storie. Un grande album per un grande chitarrista con una classe immensa.

Knopfler. Una garanzia

Album molto bello. Ero un fan dei Dire e sono un fan di Knopfler.

Tempistica perfetta. Disco di grande fattura. Richiami alle sonorità dei Dire Straits, insomma un prodotto che musicalmente non può passare inosservato.

Esordio di alto livello

Recensito in Italia il 19 marzo 2022

Un gran bel disco, ottima l'incisione. Si sente ancora l'influsso dei Dire Straits, anche se le sonorità tendono verso lo stile che poi l'autore ha confermato nei lavori successivi.

Golden Heart

Recensito in Francia il 27 agosto 2023

Très bel album de Mark Knoepfler d'une plaisante et agréable écoute musicale dans une nuance de country-folk. Bonne composition et interprétation par l'auteur-compositeur lui-même de très bonne qualité, toujours encore une admiration pour ce chanteur d'exception parfaite et réussie. Très satisfait de cette commande et transaction, un vrai régal musical dans des styles variés différents de ceux connus auparavant pour dire que Mark Knoepfler en prenant de l'âge et certainement quelques rides, ne cesse de s'épanouir et d'investir dans le créatif de haut niveau, par excellence de son parcours. Vraiment superbe et sublime musique.

Love this album

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 14 febbraio 2023

If I'm not mistaken this was his first album after the end of Dire Straits. Some were disappointed because they expected Dire Straits Mark 2. But Mark Knopfler wanted to broaden his musical horizons and this album was bang on target. He did some even better albums later (Sailing to Philly, Shangri-La as well as his colab album with Emmy Lou Harris) but this was a great start. A solid album with memorable songs such as Are We In Trouble Now, Nobody's Got the Gun and so on. Not really Dire Straits but highly recommended for those who appreciate Marks' songwriting abilities.

It took me twenty years to realize how fantastic Mark’s debut solo truly is.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 20 settembre 2019

That’s right: it took me twenty years to realize that “Golden Heart” is an amazing solo debut album by Dire Straits’ frontman, Mark Knopfler, whose father left Hungary to escape the Nazis and whose wife, Kitty Aldridge, must be one hell of lady. He’s clearly found true love in her, and it shows. Hearts abound in this album, but so too do Cajun and Acadian rhythms and musical styles. Plus, a song about a soldier in Napoleon’s Grande Armée, and one about a rabid German mega-fan named Rüdiger – with umlaut! How cool is that?

Well, most of this totally flew by me for years – and I have a Ph.D. in modern European history. It’s just that Mark is, well, a very intelligent, soulful, deep thinker who also happens to play guitar like a Rock ‘n Roll demigod. I mean, this was his debut solo album after Dire Straits stardom, so you just know he poured his heart and soul into this album. Now, years later, I get that. Perhaps turning 45 helped? Mark – a Leo – was born in 1949, so he was 47 when this album was released, so yes: maybe being older helps appreciate his awesomeness.

It’s not east to love this album. You need to know who Imelda Marcos was, and lots of other details that require brains as well as heart. It’s called “Golden Heart,” that’s true, but without brains as well, this album makes almost no sense.

Plus, Mark lets other musicians shine, not just himself. People who play Cajun, or Irish, or various traditions that normal rock and roll artists don’t pay much attention to. This album was a sign, I now realize, that Mark as a solo artist was going to reinvent the entire rock music genre. He was going to become a musicman of global importance without pretense. He and his darling Kitty were going to go on and make love and music for decades to come, and we as listeners get to savor the beauty. Thank you, Mark. Thank you, Kitty. If either of you happen to be reading this Amazon review, please know that you are always welcome to visit with my wife and me in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We will make you a meal of local king salmon, garden tomatoes, heirloom polenta, and local white wine and finish with local single malt whisk(e)y and something sweet and delicious while the fireplace crackles with oak firewood and the rains from the Pacific tumble down on the cottage roof hidden amidst the redwoods. We can play your music, or maybe something else by Tracy Chapman or Mandolin Orange. Or Martha Scanlan – because we are as much Montanans and we are Golden State Bear Republicans. Interested? Check out my Yelp profile and message me, Mark. Or Kitty. Either way, we are sure to have a great time, I guarantee.

Primer disco de Knopfler

Recensito in Spagna il 15 febbraio 2020

Primer disco de Knopfler en solitario (obviamos BSOs y tal).
Se puede resumir, a mi parecer, como el menos homogéneo de todos en cuanto al estilo de los temas que incluye, que son 14, lo que no quiere decir que sea malo.

Decía, insisto en que esto es algo personal, menos homogéneo por la cantidad de estilos así como también de instrumentos (e instrumentistas) que se incluyen en este disco, todos ellos cocinados a fuego lento mezclando esos estilos al más puro Knopfler, pero en general bien surtidos de su toque guitarrero, bastante más en cuanto a cantidad al menos que sus últimos discos (en estos últimos muestra más su faceta de compositor que de genio de la guitarra, aunque sus pinceladas sigan estando presentes).

Aquí hay joyitas como Darling Pretty, la propia Golden Heart, la cañera Don't you get it, Cannibals (el Walk of Life de este disco) o el impresionante sólo final de Are we in trouble now (precioso). Recomendable este disco, así como también lo es la compra de los singles Cannibals o Darling Pretty por los temas extra que se incluyen, de tan buena calidad que podrían haber quitado su lugar a algunos temas que sí se incluyeron finalmente en el disco.

Bueno, que me lío. Un buen disco lleno de guitarras, flautas y gaitas en el que gastarse los cuartos.
