The Best Of Marianne Faithfull 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection

Marianne Faithfull

Rock - Released January 1, 2003 | Island Records (The Island Def Jam Music Group / Universal Music)

There is no shortage of Marianne Faithfull collections, but the compact, digitally remastered, 11-track 20th Century Masters set comes close to being the best document of her post-comeback period, which began with 1979's Broken English. That addictively eccentric album is well-represented here with the title track, Shel Silverstein's "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan," and John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" making up the three leadoff tracks. Faithfull's '80s versions of "Sister Morphine" (which she co-wrote with the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Keith Richards) and "As Tears Go By" are also here, along with her exotic cover of Patti Smith's "Ghost Dance" and the anti-ballad "So Sad." Faithfull's witchy voice is a spellbinding instrument that makes every song an expressionistic experience. The whiskey-soaked "Trouble in Mind" and the Tom Waits-penned "Strange Weather," both from Faithfull's jazz-dabbling period, are perfect vehicles for her moribund-melody delivery. For a best-of collection, there is an almost thematic coherence as the singer lowers the gloom-and-angst shroud like few other vocalists can. Songs like the aptly titled "Sleep" are so sparse and devoid of momentum they seem to exist in a psychic netherworld that only the singer herself can fully comprehend. The one wild card is the dance-funk of the 12" version of "The Blue Millionaire" (which Faithfull co-wrote and originally released in shorter form on 1983's A Child's Adventure). Complete with brass bursts, croon harmonies, and the sardonically ironic line "There is no such thing as the wrong man," Faithfull still manages to get the voodoo in there. This is a seductive collection from a true original. Long before Stevie Nicks twirled her shawl, there was Nico and Marianne Faithfull.© Adrian Zupp /TiVo

A Child's Adventure

Marianne Faithfull

Rock - Released January 1, 1983 | Island Records (The Island Def Jam Music Group / Universal Music)

Faithfull pegged her comeback to a brutal survivalist persona, but by this fourth album of her second career, she had mellowed at least to the extent of constructing flowing song structures with her collaborators, Barry Reynolds and Wally Badarou, that eased the bitterness still found in many of her lyrics. A Child's Adventure is thus more listenable, but less compelling, than her other albums of the period.© William Ruhlmann /TiVo

A Perfect Stranger: The Island Anthology

Marianne Faithfull

Rock - Released January 1, 1998 | Island Records (The Island Def Jam Music Group / Universal Music)

Because more than half of the 35 songs on this two-disc retrospective of Marianne Faithfull's 1979-95 output come from her three great albums -- Broken English, Dangerous Acquaintances, and Strange Weather -- or are previously unreleased outtakes or B-sides from them, A Perfect Stranger: The Island Anthology makes a fine primer to Faithfull's often challenging, always mesmerizing (or would that be always challenging, often mesmerizing?) music. "Ballad of the Soldier's Wife," her solid contribution to 1985's Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill, is also included, giving Faithfull's hauntingly tragic voice the resonance and attention it demands. Weill and Faithfull seem made for each other, as the bulk of the second disc (comprised of songs from her 1990 live album and the underachieving A Secret Life, as well as the career-capping Strange Weather) makes clear. But there's also a strain to some of these tracks, as if Faithfull's aesthetic wandering eventually will bring her to that elusive cabaret of her dreams. On her best recordings, it indeed sounds like she's home.© Michael Gallucci /TiVo

Marin Marais: Suite en mi, Folies d'Espagne, Le labyrinthe

Marianne Muller

Chamber Music - Released August 1, 2006 | Alpha Classics

Booklet
A veteran of Jordi Savall's Hespèrion XX and XXI, gambaist Marianne Muller makes her Zig Zag Territories debut with this disc of music by the great French Baroque composer Marin Marais. The repertoire is daunting: the ingenious and evocative Le Labyrinthe, the 32 virtuoso variations on Les Folies d'Espagne, and the 12-movement Suite in E minor from Marais' Second Book of Pièces de viole. These are works that require not just virtuosity, stamina, intense expressivity, and soulful beauty of tone. Thankfully, Muller and her Ensemble Spirale fulfill all these requirements and then some.The disc opens with Les Folies d'Espagne, and through her nimble dexterity and endless invention, Muller holds the work together despite its enormous 18-minute length. The disc closes with Le Labyrinthe, and with her varied tone and subtle phrasing, Muller keeps the work on track through its harmonically adventurous 12-and-a-half minute length. But the best performance here is the central Suite in E minor. As are most of the Second Book's suites, this one is made up almost entirely of stylized dance forms; but through the concentration of Marais' thought and the power of his emotions, these sarabandes, gigues, and minuets are as deep and potentially moving as the best of Bach's variations on the same forms. With a nuanced tone ranging from the quietly contained to boldly assertive and a flexible bow allowing her to express herself as if she were singing, Muller delivers performances rivaling Jordi Savall's own recordings of these works. Especially impressive is her Tombeau pour M. de Sainte-Colombe, which closes the suite. Sterner and more severe than Savall's classic recording, Muller's interpretation is no less moving in its stoic dignity. The Ensemble Spirale -- gambist Sylvia Abramowicz, harpsichordist Violaine Cochard, Baroque guitarist Charles-Édouard Fantin, and theorbist Claire Antonini -- provides a wonderfully textured accompaniment for Muller's gamba. Recorded in clean, close, atmospheric sound, this disc can be highly recommended to everyone interested in the instrument, the composer, and the repertoire.© TiVo
