Music reviews of Lullabies: A Songbook Companion
Music Review: The book is great, but what's up with her voice?
Rating: 2 Stars
This could serve a purpose for those who don't read music to learn the tunes. The singer sounds OK on some songs, but her renditions of "All the Pretty Little Horses" and "Rock-a-bye Baby" were horribly sung. The book has beautiful images and is a real keepsake. If you are looking for a fabulous voice with great emotional feeling in it, get someone's grandma to sing from the book.
Description of Lullabies: A Songbook Companion
Released as a companion piece to the award-winning book Lullabies: An Illustrated Songbook, this hour-plus of music is a wonderful mix of stately classical themes and child-friendly vocals. The selections range from "All the Pretty Little Horses" to a global spread of lullabies drawn from classical and folk traditions. The music is spare, with Kapp on piano, Julianne Baird and Kapp's daughter Madeline on vocals, and Mela Tenenbaum on violin, viola, and occasional vocals. Most of the classical selections (from Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Edmund Elgar, W.A. Mozart, et al.) get a straight-ahead, accomplished treatment. Lest you think the project stuffy, each of the melodies is in the one- to two-minute range, which effectively mandates a stronger sense of flow than most children's collections. Kapp, who managed to create a visual and poetic flow in the Lullabies book, keeps things nicely in a groove here, knowing enough to segue into silly tracks about halfway through the CD to provide a wider emotional range. This album every bit as accomplished as the book. --Andrew BartlettGeneral CDs
