LONDON'S CABARET
By Maximillien de Lafayette
BARB JUNGR: SIMPLY, BRITAIN'S BEST AND MOST STIMULATING CABARET SINGER!
|
LONDON-UK. Should we parade our Cabaret stars on a red velvet carpet, the names of Barb Jungr, Caroline Nin, Kate Westbrook and Michael Westbrook would appear at the top of the list. They are Great Britain's finest entertainers and singers. Ms Jungr's career as a pop and jazz singer stretches back to the early 80s. She is a veteran of world music. To many cabaret lovers and critics, Ms Barb Jungr is "Britain's answer to Ute Lemper". To many others, Barb is " Queen of the Musical Cabaret of Britain". All lead to the same citadel: The universal shrine of music. The citadel where Ms Jungr has already secured a historical place, a throne for her laurel, legendary talent and the brightest/smartest cabaret repertoire ever delivered by a contemporary singer in Britain. Barb is powerful. Strikingly intelligent. Warmly intellectual. Passionately fashioned into music within stimulating dialogues and electrifying persona on stage. She is perfect for Cabaret. She is made for it. She is CABARET HERSELF!
Ms Jungr is the most intelligent and emotionally honest cabaret artiste in the business.
Watching Barb and listening to Barb give you the audio visual and emotional sensations that you are on the set of Godard. Fellini or Vittorio di Sica movie set. And when the director suspends "action" you leave the stage set to engage yourself into a dialogue with Edith Piaf, Simone Signoret, Proust, Kafka, Weill and the most colorful characters of early Parisian Cabaret. All these fabrics, nuances and intricate pieces of the world of cabaret and the magnetizing personalities who inhabited it are today, dots, ingredients, shadows and lights, whispers and stories of the superbly crafted world of cabaret of Barb Jungr. This woman is the most intelligent and emotionally honest cabaret artiste in the business. A perfect musical and philosophical unison between Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf, Aragon, Prevert, Eluard and Barbara create the visage and soul of a sublime idea; a concept; a melodrama visualization on stage; a presence... "Un je ne sais Quoi?" And the sarcastic spiritual poet would scream with Sacha Guitry "Et Dieu Crea La Femme"...and God would "dare to create" a femme and place her on stage to sing for him and to talk to her intelligently. He would.
