Release Notes:
This disc is a celebration of Catalan singer Marina
Rossell's nearly three decade career. It's a
shiny-clean remastering of eleven songs dating back
as far as 1976. Two things become obvious while
listening to Marφtim. One is that Rossell's talent
has not diminished over the years. Her voice still
has the same clarity and economy of phrasing that
it did twenty-eight years ago. The other is that,
stylistically, she has the good taste not to reach
beyond her grasp. She chooses arrangements that
make the most of her gentle, unassuming voice. The
disc ping-pongs back and forth over her career
rather than going in chronological order, but her
consistency of style makes the order irrelevant.
She duets with Santiago Auseron on "Roso (Pel Teu
Amor)," with Marc Parrot on "Una Illa es," and with
Miguel Poveda on "Queda't de mi Alguna Cosa,"
showing herself to be a sensitive collaborator.
Most of the tracks have a tender, emotive quality,
which makes the final track, "Els Segadors (The
Reapers)" from 2003's Inedita, a rewarding
surprise. Its defiant sweep puts a satisfying end
to the collection. For those who may not have heard
Rossell, this is a fine introduction to an
illustrious career. - Peggy Latkovic
