紀念二零零六
走在音樂之都，第一時間想看看聞名全球的維也納國立歌劇院(Staatsoper)，雖然已是晚上十時了。畢竟視音樂為第一生命，自小與音樂結下不解緣，兩三歲已可唱出當時的中文流行曲，十二歲開始學唱英文歌，十四歲被漂亮長髮披肩的音樂老師挑選加入合唱團，那年暑假更自己學會唱和音！不過始終喜歡與做義工時認識的朋友一起唱民歌。熱愛音樂的程度不可言諭。
二零零六年剛巧是莫札特誕生二百五十週年紀念，奧地利音樂節又適逢在五六月期間舉行，各式各樣的音樂會多不勝數，紀念莫札特的慶典廣告、海報、紀念品等隨處可見，音樂文化氣息更覺濃厚。奧地利更特別將二零零六年訂為「莫札特年」。
二零零六年該是值得懷念的一年！

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me
Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……
“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.
“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!
“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.
WORDS from Astor :
I hope all of you would like the presentation of my albums.
Everlasting love dedicated to SUPERSTAR...
