Vienna – New York – Berlin: Austrian singer Maria Christina has had an exciting journey, and it shows. Her voice is the expression of a highly sensitive, open-hearted soul, and her songs have a lot to say. Her debut album was compared to Joni Mitchell's early works and hailed as "a new discovery experience" (About Jazz). Her songs are "poetically narrated by an attentive, sensitive chronicler" (Concerto), and this poetry also permeates her new album, "Morning Swim": It's a collection of unique, profound art songs accompanied by the virtuoso Italian guitarist Federico Casagrande. The duo's music hovers between singer-songwriter and jazz, between narrative and improvisation. Maria Christina's crystal-clear voice and precise guitar playing repeatedly provide surprises, and the pair repeatedly veers off in unexpected directions – only to return safely home at the end. A musical journey of a very special kind.
