An evening at the oscars

REVIEWS
“A Night at the Oscars’ was performed by Mary Carewe with her expressive, versatile voice with just the right ‘feeling’ for the most beautiful songs from Oscar-winning film music…”
Kleine Zeitung, Klaganefurt
”Carewe demonstrated that she is equally at home with fast-paced rhythms and gentle ballads. Her interpretations often surpassed the originals, as was the case with “My Heart Will Go On” from “Titanic”
