Music reviews of Lullabies: A Songbook Companion
Music Review: Musical Perfection
Rating: 5 Stars
This is our family's favorite music CD for a baby. Julianne Baird sings these traditional lullabies so sensitively and beautifully. She sings with the depth of interpretation of a classical singer but also with a warm simplicity and little vibrato. The book is a treasure (I agree with others that it would be helpful to have the lullabies in the same order as the CD, but there is a table of contents and an index), and if you can play the piano a little, the arrangements are simple and lovely. Listening to the whole CD is like listening to a wonderful concert. Babies and children do not need music to be all high and dinky and the same; this is real music, performed to perfection with motherly warmth. Don't miss it!
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
