Music reviews of Kiri Sings Karl

Music Review: She's Back!
Rating: 5 Stars

I was delighted when this recording came out after several years with nothing new from Kiri ("best of" collections not included). It is very different from anything she's recorded before, with the possible exception of "Maori Songs", and it is absolutely delightful. As a professional musician, I can't see how another reviewer thought there was age on her voice. Certainly, she is not singing in the operatic fashion, which would not fit this repertoire, so the sound is different. But, her voice sounds remarkably fresh for 63 (a sign of impecable singing technique); she's definitely still in her prime. Moreover, the enjoyment she finds in the music shines through. Several languages are represented on this album, and one reveiw critisized her pronunciation. During a recent interview with Kiri, she touched on all of the research she did to make sure her pronunciation was as accurate as possible. Given her stature in the field, I would certainly trust that she did her homework...regardless, there is nothing in the language that should put anyone off from enjoying this remarkable album.

It's hard to categorize this project; many genres are present and I found it remarkable that a collection full of such different styles and sounds could fit together so well. If you are an opera purest, this may not be your cup of tea, but, then again, it's not attempting to be opera. This collection is full of interesting instrumentations, ethnic sounds, rhythmic inventions, and, most of all, amazing singing ("In Paradisum" requires incredible skill). I have listened to just about everything Kiri has recorded and she is my most favorite singer. Out of everything, this ranks in the top five on my list of favorite Kiri recordings.

Description of Kiri Sings Karl

Karl Jenkins is a composer and arranger whose music is best described as "new-age world," a combination of gentle sounds with Latin or African beats, sometimes backed up by a sort of dreamy chorus. His "Mass for Peace" has become something of a phenomenon and has been performed frequently over the past two years. Here he has composed or arranged music of Argentina, Wales, and a couple of composers--Fauré, Chopin, and Beethoven--and texts have been added, sung by the great soprano Kiri Te Kanawa, in what must be seen as the twilight of her career. The overall effect is hypnotic: mild, soft-edged whisperings by the almost unrecognizable Te Kanawa, singing so indistinctly that it is difficult to tell what language the songs are in, and recorded with a matte finish that lulls the listener into a type of faraway submission. The Beethoven and Chopin are sung in a language that Jenkins has invented. Fans of the diva will be startled by the sound of her voice; this is clearly for those who admire the composer's work. --Robert Levine
