Title: With all due respect to the reviewer who follows ...
Product review: I find this very hard to listen to. I bought this CD because I love what Uri Caine did for Mahler's music. That recording is very instructive, inspiring and a brilliant testimony to Caine's genius as a jazz musician.I also have a number of CD's in other languages, whether Hindi, Arabic, American Indian or whatever, that feature singing in vocables - or what I interpret are vocables, i.e. singing without forming actual words. So my negativity toward this album is not based on a lack of familiarity with chant-like performance.Generally, every musical album has something worthwhile in it somewhere. You have to listen awfully hard with this one. What is supposed to be singing sounds more like caterwauling to me.If the prospective buyer is interested in Jewish jazz, the Mahler interpretations are a wonderful place to start - or maybe just buy some standard klezmer stuff.This, I hate to say, is pretty darn unlistenable.
