CD ReviewsNot bad but Zorn's done better in this series. T. Klaase | Orange Park, Florida United States | 07/22/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "Marc Ribot saves the day on this release. The music is (again) very Jewish and the songs sound the same as many of those done on previous Filmworks CD's, so don't get your hopes up for a spellbinding experience. It's a good disc to have but I was hoping for more. Try "Invitation to a Suicide" first, if you don't have it. More interesting and the musicians get to strech out a little more..." A good introduction to Zorn's easy-listening music SPM | Eugene, Oregon | 11/09/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "For the dedicated Zorn fan, this soundtrack is boring but beautiful. For everyone else, it's something you should buy right away. Zorn has blended a dozen new klezmer melodies with a tinge of lounge music. (He calls it "Martin Denny from the Catskills.") The arrangements are spare but effective --- every song is played by guitar, vibes, bass, and percussion. Four of the songs have been re-recorded with Ganda Suthivarakom singing the melodies.The songs are interrconnected by their tempo and Jewish folk themes, making the whole album sound like a single piece of music. The booklet contains a brief essay by Zorn and another by the makers of the documentary for which this soundtrack was recorded. The whole package is stylish and classy. I highly recommend this CD to anyone, even someone who isn't normally interested in John Zorn's music." My intro to Zorn's music Joseph C. Helton | 04/03/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I actually got this one through the library, thinking that I should borrow a copy before buying Zorn music. I needn't have worried. This cd, Filmworks 14, is very easy to listen to and exceptional. It's the soundtrack to the film 'Hiding and Seeking, faith and tolerance after the holocaust'. Soundtracks normally are boring to me, but this is an easy listen, at times jazzy and always soothing. Definitely a good cd to listen to while at work.
What really impressed me most of all was reading Zorn's liner notes. He wrote the music for this cd in a matter of a couple of hours and recorded the whole shooting match in one day. It takes a great deal of musical vision and talent to do something like that, and to pull it off so well. Keep in mind that Zorn does not perform on this cd, for that he's pulled together a very talented group of musicians. After listening to this, I'd say my musical journey with John Zorn has just begun. 5 stars." |
