BRUCK, AUSTRIA. Eva Campbell-Haidl at the Forstschule performed a rocky-souly-jazzy concert yesterday.
Born in Bruck, the artist now lives in London and the audience could see for themselves that the talented singer truly polished her abilities over the last few years.
That a singer has a voice, is being taken for granted. But rarely does anybody master such an enormous musical range like Campbell showed last night. Sting’s rocky “Every breath you take” was as brilliant as Gershwin’s classic “Summertime” in a reggae version. As well as being totally at home in jazz, black soul seems to suit her dark sounding voice down to the ground too.
Also very impressive were her own compositions.
Excellent musicians who were originally put together for the recording of a CD accompanied the singer. There was Ilse Riedler on saxophone, Miki Liebermann from Ostbahn-Kurtis Chefpartie and Bruck¹s own Werner Radzik.
A lot of ex-teachers, friends and of course the usual Forstschul-audience came.
Everybody agreed the verdict: One of the best concerts of the last few years.
