Sunday Times, CD Review >>
If there is one arranger capable of putting a string section to non-treacly use, it is Jacques Morelenbaum, the Brazilian cellist who has worked wonders with the great Caetano Veloso. His settings for Portugal's fado queen, Mariza, may be more conventional than his work on the live version of Veloso's Latin American banquet, Fina Estampa, but they supply just the right touch of romance. If you want something more astringent, try the stark cello accompaniment on the endlessly haunting Duas Lagrimas de Orvalho. Elsewhere, the more traditional fado instrumentation comes to the fore. Mariza sounds more majestic than ever before.
