PRINCE CHARLES, now KING CHARLES III. on Leonard Cohen in the year of 2008 and 2017 in interviews:
Who are the Royal Family’s favourite artists? The surprising answers – from Leonard Cohen to Skream
On the show, he chose to play Cohen’s ‘Take This Waltz’, saying: “I’ve always loved Leonard Cohen’s voice and his whole approach to the way he sang. He was obviously incredibly sophisticated in the way he sang, but also wrote.
He continued: “I find it very moving, the words are so extraordinary, sort of Salvador Dalí-like – they lead you into this remarkable Dalí-like world.”
His appearance on Private Passions is not the first time Prince Charles has praised Cohen. He previously described him as a “remarkable man” and hailed his orchestration and lyrics as “fantastic”.
