Masterbation And Cholesterol,

but Joni Mitchell

Behind the stage is to see a colorful picture, which is not right circles, but certainly comes up with round forms, which lay close to a cyclical thoughts. The work of Sabine Gustke also adorns the cover of the just in time for the CD delivered last weekend by Annette Marquard, Kate Nelson and Tilmann Höhn. The two singers and guitarist have embarked together on a retrospective journey of Joni Mitchell, while at very different parts of her musical and personal life made station. In the intimate setting of the mirror room of the Walhalla-Theater now quite different moods were represented in the left the large audience to take you.

With her warm, powerful timbre Annette Marquard it had taken to interpret the title track. Musically, they explored the profound subtleties of the music from empathetic. With "River" Kate Nelson presented the first time that night their light and unobtrusive brilliant voice with the same empathy that should be in later in such an exciting contrast to the timbre of her colleague. "Little Green", so the audience learns, Joni Mitchell wrote at the age of 19, when she released her daughter for adoption. Kate Nelson brought this very special lullaby with soft, slightly velvety coloring up close to the ears of the audience.

With "Night Ride Home" Annette Marquard was quickly subdued the rocky departure from past melancholy, not least thanks to the six strings Tilmann Höhn incisive rhythmic design. In any case, the guitarist was found that night corresponded repeatedly as an outstanding instrumentalist, whose dexterity with a high level of musical ingenuity. With "Map of Canada", he could also persuade a soloist, technical excellence combined with a tight-knit sound surfaces.

The fact that the voices of the singers have to say to each other a lot, was very particular in "Chinese Coffee" on. About the earthy tone of Annette Marquard lay Kate Nelson's rough-smooth bright appearance without any unpleasant friction. In addition, it was the two musicians again and again during the play the roles swap. Later it was found that Annette Marquard may well reach a very pithy sound while Kate Nelson introduced into a pleasantly iridescent metallic touch.

pity that have managed some of the pieces listed this evening on the CD. The approach to the title however, demonstrates a high degree of autonomy of the musical performers. Although the make from their high respect for Joni Mitchell no secret, but this can not keep their personal interpretation and design.

The CD "Circle Games" can currently be purchased at the price of 15 € on www.annettemarquard.de or www.tilmannhoehn.de .
