Camera / editing - Radu ZERO
GREEN HOURS / Bucharest 2000
"(...) Maria Raducanu is like no other before her - her pure sound does not resemble anybody else's one although she sings Maria Tanase's songs as well as other pieces of folk music, along with Portuguese FADO, songs of dirge and joy in so many foreign languages, as she is endowed with the genius capability to "sing" in various dialects and to liltingly phrase things in the language, like a poet. Her "choreography" is also a pure and deeply personal one, whereby a figure reminiscent of Brancusi's "Prayer" looms dimly, meditating on Providence by dint of singing, somehow kneeling without touching the floor with her knees as if "levitating" the way saints raptured by the Holy Ghost do."
