Amazon.co.uk Review
With her versatile soprano, stunning good looks and unflinching passion for opera, Natasha Marsh has become a firm favourite with classical fans. Amour, her debut album, may come as a surprise to those familiar with her classical repertoire however, since it showcases not only her love of arias but her fondness for classic pop songs and movie soundtracks too. While Marsh's voice is inevitably capable of hitting the soaring heights demanded of pieces such as Verdi's "Si Un Jour" (theme from Jean de Florette, which opens the album), Satie's "Gymnopedie No. 1" and Delibes' "Les Filles de Cadix," Marsh sounds surprisingly comfortable when tackling non-classical material - the sweeping romance of "Autumn Leaves," for example, or the dreamy undulations of Ewan McColl's "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face." Likewise, her love of films (she studied music and drama and is equally passionate about both disciplines) adds an interesting undercurrent to the album, in particular her stirring renditions of Nino Rota's "Al Giochi Addio" (a.k.a. the theme from Romeo & Juliet) and Bacalov's "Mi Mancherai" (the theme from Il Postino). Overall, Amour is sure to further establish Natasha Marsh as a seriously sonorous and highly accessible all-rounder. --Danny McKenna

Could I gently suggest that the previous reviewer visit Natasha's 'myspace' to consult the summary of her previous training and work in the opera world. I am sure that this will clarify Natasha's excellent operatic pedigree for them. I look forward to hearing more from this exceptionally talented artist.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Superb is about the only word I find appropriate. A good and eclectic collection of tracks from opera to pop. I'm not musically trained but I couldn't fault the voice nor the presentation. As an out and out Katherine Jenkins fan it was pleasant to hear a soprano in the same category. I am listening now to one of the best renditions of 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' since Roberta Flack's version. Crystal clear diction and a warm presentation. 'Si un Jour' is probably the best track for me but there isnt a track I dont like. I hope we both see and hear much more of Natasha Marsh - mind you as far the BBC goes, this sort of music seems to be part of the vast forgotten realm of classical/cross over/operetta vocal music! Sorry about the soap box!! Anyway - if you like Kate Jenkins I'm pretty sure you'll like this, by no means light, soprano.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

What a versatile flexible instrument! Such musical choices with the performances and what an exciting and novel selection of pieces. More please Ms Marsh!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
