„Es geht um mehr“ - Barbara Zanetti‘s latest album – was released just a few days before Christmas in December 2006 and marks the climax of her conclusive search for uniqueness and individuality in her lyrics and music.
Aided by the cultural duality of her home town of Kaltern in South Tyrol – that most northern of Italy‘s border regions and an area that already displays some Mediterranean aspects – Barabara Zanetti seizes the opportunity presented by this wide cultural variety. Consequently, she feels quite at home in a number of languages and is able to present her work in the differing genres with self-confidence and charm.
Self-composed songs - mainly ballads featuring a narrative climax - boasting her own lyrics written in German, Italian and English were already an integral part of her debut album „How Could I Forget“ (DTM 01570); these elements have been developed even further on her new album and now form a convincing mixture of moving, passionate, melancholy songs with warm, dynamic rocky sounds. However, Barbara Zanetti’s powerful voice is also very much at home when set against a more powerful musical background, as displayed in the self-composed hymn ,Glory Time' written especially for the Biathlon World Championships 2007 and now available as a single (DTM 01595) featuring three different versions of the song.
Between 1998 and 2000 this versatile artist made important appearances at the ,Sportler des Jahres' (Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year) awards ceremony, in 2001 with the hymn „Going on“ specially written for the occasion, in 2002 at the Federal Chancellery in Berlin on the occasion of the first German-American friendship festival (,The Bridge New York/Berlin') and has already appeared twice at the European singer-songwriter festival ,Songs an einem Sommerabend' (Songs on a Summer Evening) in Bad Staffelstein. In addition she has also made numerous appearances in shows broadcast by ZDF, ARD, ORF and RAI.
