Impressive interpretations

I've always liked so the voice of Marianne Faithfull, but could not bear their trendy, electronic-tinged works of the 80. In this live recording she now turns to my great friends Chansongut to classical, namely from the time of the Weimar Republic and later, songs from Kurt Weill, Friedrich Holländer, but also from France, etc., which they, with the exception of a French song sings in English translation (I stress this because in a song sometimes occur three German words and their articulation would make me curious about how it sounds when she sings German).

Faithfull has an impressive voice, full of smoke, and brokenness experienced fate. You do not put it too intense, but just so that it grabs and touches without being too intrusive. She understands the essence of the songs, changing tempos and volume, falls into Chanting, singing once 'nice', sometimes 'less nice'. An artistic quality, professonelle Interpretaton that one notices that here a woman singing, which is not quite constant way of life they can empathize with some of the sentiments of the unsung female figures. That you can feel. The well captured live atmosphere contributes to the rest of their very personal and touching sentiment that create the songs in. For song and chanson friends an absolute recommendation.
