Music reviews of Brighton Beach Memories - Neil Sedaka Sings Yiddish

Music Review: Great idea, amazing voice, but cheap production
Rating: 3 Stars

It was great to hear Neil Sedaka live with a Klezmer band -- so I immediately bought this collection. Unfortunately, while Neil's voice is still amazingly young-sounding, the orchestrations and production values are so cheap! Mostly it's just Neil on piano, with a drummer, bassist and an occasional clarinetist. These songs are rich in cultural feeling, and that "feeling" requires a much larger wind section.

I realize Neil no longer has a record label behind him, but this album sounds so thin! Plus, he throws in two decidedly non-Yiddish songs with "Theme from Exodus" and "Sunrise, Sunset" -- both written in the 1960s, years after the rest of the traditional songs on this album. Still, it's a pleasure (a machiah!) to hear the traditional stuff song brilliantly, with the lyrics enunciated and pronounced perfectly.

Skip the 1960s English-language stuff and you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane.
