Texto presente na contracapa do disco:
"Fabulous" is not the only word the defines Marlene Dietrich. Her friend Ernest Hemingway once defined the Dietrich magic further whe he called it "mysterious" and "timeless."In this album recorded live at the Queen's Theathre, London, one has only to hear sing I Can't Give You Anything But Love, La vie en Rose, Jonny,Honeysuckle Rose - in fact, any of the fourteen songs she interprets here - to experience an authentic embodiment of the legendary Dietrich magic.
For Marlene Dietrich is unique.There is no one like her anywhere. It is a fourtunate world,indeed, that can share with her bewitching art.
What the London critcs said of Marlene Dietrich's performance at The Queen's Theatre:
Sunday Times - Harold Hobson
The more I think or hear of her [Marlene Dietrich], the more it seems to me that she is especially responsive to the emotional overtones of vulnerability. At her best she is better than Chevalier, because more tender in feeling: better even than Piaf, whose thrilling voice was uncomfortably enormous for the sorrows she used to sing about so memorably... Miss Dietrich shows us the heights and depth of love by catching it with infalible precison in the very moment of its defeat, as in ,rejecting before rejected, Go ‘way from my window; or when it is killed, as in her moving and gallant announcement of the song Das Lied ist aut (Frag’ nicht, warum ich gehe); or when it feels, itself neglected, as when the prisoner begs Marie to write to him more often. I ,cannot find in London any record which she has made of Marie Marie in French, or of Go ‘way from my window in any language at all. I hope this will not long be so, for Miss Dietrich's audience was very deeply moved.
Observer - Peneoe Gilliatt
She says about a Charlie Trenet song [I Wish You Love] that it is like "a love song sung to a child. "She is the only performer alive who can make an erotic number sound like a lullaby...
Punch - J. Kingston
Sometimes the fingers are pointing, but more often they are just held out in the air as though she were trying to regain contact with somebody. It is as if we in the audience were passengers on a boat and she were standing on the quayside watching us depart from her forever. Perhaps it is in this that the core of her appeal lies. She is the personification of a woman abandoned by love or abandoning it, and so men can feel yes, this is the woman I was once loved by! and women can feel yes, this is how I loved.
At the end she stood before the curtain in her golden, glittering dress and received large bouquets from the stages and smaller offerings of flowers from the audience. She walked away and returned twenty or thirty times, smilling that strannge almost-happy smile, and finally stepped back drew the two halves of the red curtain about her like a cloak and was gone.
