CLAUDIA BETTINAGLIO - Saving All My Love (2001)

VBR

Claudia Bettinaglio sings rock, r & b, blues, jazz and the like. Her singing voice is full and round and drenched in blues feeling. Hearing her sing one does not imagine easily that she is indeed a young woman from Switzerland with an Italian family background and that SAVING ALL MY LOVE is her coming out album as a solo artist. Yes indeed, Claudia Bettinaglio is a new and very exciting voice from the heart of Europe. This album pays homage not only to one man's singular songwriting art but also documents a singer's personal fascination for the depth of his work. A fascination that has turned into an intense and practical confrontation with a set of immaculate songs. This journey includes songs from a time span of almost thirty years. Every period of Tom Waits' writing is included – from "Ice Cream Man" (1973) to "Cold Water" (1999). Claudia Bettinaglio is a surely fan, but she does not try to imitate what cannot be imitated. With her powerful, melodic voice she puts her own stamp on these songs and proves how well this material – that is so much marked by the creator's very original voice – lends itself to new interpretations. After having digested this set of fourteen songs it's clear – Claudia Bettinaglio knows what she's doing...
