She Walks In Beauty (CD)
Marianne Faithfull , Warren Ellis
Amoeba Review
She Walks in Beauty features Marianne Faithfull's reverent recital of 11 works by Romantic poets like Keats, Byron, and Shelley, lushly accompanied by the Bad Seeds' Warren Ellis. Also on hand are Nick Cave, Brian Eno and Vincent Ségal, contributing to the spellbinding arrangements that encircle Faithfull's husky voice. Long influenced by these Romantic poets, Faithfull recites pieces like Thomas Hood's mournful “The Bridge of Sighs”with a genuine passion that is a delight to the ear. Shelley's “To The Moon” is hauntingly lovely with strings and piano.
