专辑介绍
by Chris Nickson
Two things to consider with this disc. Firstly, A Night in the Old Marketplace is the music for a theatrical piece (an adaptation of the 1907 Yiddish play of the same name), which means the songs have to be heard in that context. At times they seem more like snippets, rather than fully realized songs. Secondly, Frank London is the composer of the music (the lyrics come from Glenn Berger), and while he rightly gets credit, he's not part of the small musical ensemble involved in the recording. In part it's klezmer, but much more than that it's an updating of Yiddish theater music, bringing it into the 21st century. There's a fairly traditional structure to the songs, as on &Is There Room on Earth?& or &The Tale of the Drowned Klezmorim,& which are easily identifiable as Yiddish (and with dramatic arrangements), but at times things can get quite avant-grade, but not to the point where it becomes unlistenable (the end of &Desire It& is a case in point). Utilizing a range of vocalists, including They Might Be Giants, Susan McKeown, and Manu Narayan, it's a piece that, as a standalone album, is only partly satisfying. The music is excellent, but there's a sense that you're only getting part of the tale (which is indeed the case). So, enjoyable, adventurous, and even important -- a perfect teaser for the show.

- @卷毛儿肥枕宝(枕枕一点儿也不好玩儿。)：从前除了A Cuckoo以外再没人让我觉得音乐可以这么邪了。。。但Frank London却是一个！！！ One Prayer/One Lullaby很有犹太调调，让我想起来卷毛翻唱的Nature Boy。。。 卷毛儿肥枕宝 (枕枕一点儿也不好玩儿。) 2012-12-11 16:01 jane700说： 哈哈，那确实是标准不一样的说~ 其实我标准里的邪有很大程度上都是源于我对于犹太音乐的神秘感还有我对一些流行音乐中巴洛克元素的感兴趣！嘿嘿 jane700 2017-10-28 00:08 A Cuckoo是曲子名称吗？谁唱的？哪版？我也喜欢nature boy，喜欢celine dion在红磨坊里唱的那版。求卷毛详细信息 卷毛儿肥枕宝 (枕枕一点儿也不好玩儿。) 2017-10-28 00:08 jane700说： 哈哈看样子要解答的问题很多哇。。。 我这里指的A cuckoo是歌手名，虾米里面有，你可以去听听他的Over the moon，真的是超邪啊。。。然后Nature Boy那个。。。你直接去土豆上搜\"Lior Nature Boy\"就可以了，嘿嘿卷毛的名字就是Lior啦!!!推荐你听我主页的背景音乐那首April Bloom，最爱啦~~顺便一说，你不要看到虾米资料上写他是澳大利亚就误会了哦，乖卷毛出生在以色列呢~~~=3= jane700 2017-10-30 10:15 卷毛儿肥枕宝说： 谢谢了，不过可惜你心中的‘邪’和我的标准不一样啊。我喜欢抒发情绪的，玩出来的般随性的音乐。要那种色彩鲜明的，不需要歌词都能知道要表达什么。那是我心目中的‘邪’也可以说是‘不正经’。
