5.0 out of 5 stars lyrically powerful and emotional, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: De Waarheid (Audio CD)

First time I have heard Marco when my brother brought the single "De Waarheid" from Amsterdam in 1997.This year a bought the whole album. Music leaves you with the sense of completeness: you do not want to skip any tracks. The opening title track "De Waarheid", "Oud En Afgedankt","Jij hebt Mij Niet Nodig" and many others are lyrically powerful and emotional, they almost sound like the ballads of love, sadness, or happiness: full spectrum of human emotions! I do not speak Dutch, but the meaning can be sensed in melody of the music and expressive voice of Marco Borsato. It is a really great album that somehow summarizes what is the best in European Music.

5.0 out of 5 stars De Waarheid, November 30, 1999

The example of a perfect dutch album. The language is Dutch and therefore less suitable for non Dutch speaking listeners. In this Album you can listen to some up tempo but mostly sensible songs, which are about romance and relations. Definitely his best album, still improving since the first album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good CD from most popular Dutch singer, June 18, 1999

This review is from: De Waarheid (Audio CD)

His third CD in Dutch, and the first with mostly original compositions (for the first two he used a lot of Italian songs). This is a good CD that mainly contains ballads, which is the weak point of this CD: at some point songs sound too much the same. However, he has a strong voice and if you like ballads you should definitely have this. Dutch artists that you might like as well are Ruth Jacott and (although his voice is less powerful) Paul de Leeuw.
