“...Luciano Berrio’s arrangements, with plenty of charisma peculiar to the author, were brazenly and aggressively evoked by the soprano Marta Fiol-just as they should be- and with a musicality quite out of the ordinary.” “
The
group
Enigma
had
two
exceptional
collaborators.
Marta
Fiol
sang
the
songs
of
Kurt
Weill-as
commented
earlier-
with
charm
and
savoir-faire,
but
also
with
great
style...”

work

“The soprano Marta Fiol and the pianist Carles Puig delivered... a delicious ‘mini-show’ discreetly and cleverly directed by Enric Llort, reviving, in an elegantly stylized way, the mythical-sordid world of Berlinesque cabaret. Pianist and singer performed with an intelligent brazenness, without losing sight of the importance of the music and the song. Marta Fiol, with her beautiful voice and expressive diction, evoked pertinently the texts of Wedekind and Bertolt Brecht and, even more, the music of Schönberg and Kurt Weill. With mastery: the same goes for Carles Puig at the piano.” Joaquín
