the look of love
简介
2001年新作"爱的容颜"筹备的时候，克瑞儿有天晚上在纽约的公寓里听着法兰克．辛纳屈、茱莉．伦敦、纳京高以及麦可．布雷克与编曲家克劳斯．欧格曼合作的唱片。随后她突发奇想跑去问汤米．利普玛，是否能与克劳斯．欧格曼在下张专辑中合作，因为克劳斯．欧格曼和强尼．曼德尔一直是克瑞儿最喜欢的作曲搭档兼编曲家。尤其欧格曼与辛纳屈、芭芭拉．史翠珊、安东尼．卡洛．乔宾合作过多张精彩专辑，更让人永远听不腻。虽然欧格曼已经不再为其他艺人编曲而专心于自己创作的钢琴奏鸣曲和小提琴协奏曲的作品，但克瑞儿仍然抱持希望。就在克瑞儿前往慕尼黑表演时，利普玛安排了他们的会面，最后欧格曼也欣然答应了这项合作计画。利普玛和欧格曼也超过十年未曾共事，"爱的容颜"再度将此两位传奇人物聚在一起，简直是破天荒的组合。 "爱的容颜"除汤米．利普玛负责制作，欧格曼担任编曲、指挥外，伦敦交响乐团，知名吉他手罗素．马龙都在伴奏的行列。内容上则包括多首爵士、流行经典，标题曲出自大名鼎鼎Burt Bacharach/Hal David之笔，这首歌原由女歌手Dusty Springfield与巴西乐手塞吉欧．曼德斯的合唱团两度唱红的流行曲。从茱莉．伦敦深情演唱的招牌作"Cry Me A River"、伤心小调"I Get Along Without You Very Well"，到西班牙文浪漫经典"Besame Mucho"(热情拥吻)都是歌迷们期盼已久的克瑞儿式曲调。这张专辑制作时克瑞儿一口气灌唱多首歌曲，据她自己的说法：「真希望能发行成一张双片CD」，从这些歌曲中细心挑选成单张的"爱的容颜"绝对又会是戴安娜．克瑞儿新的里程碑。 by Ken Dryden Diana Krall is an attractive lady with a good voice who plays decent piano, but this somewhat ridiculously packaged Verve CD seems like an obvious attempt to turn her into a pop icon, and sex symbol to boot. The bland arrangements by Claus Ogerman (who conducts the London Symphony Orchetra or the Los Angeles Session Orchestra on each track) border on easy listening, while Krall and her various supporting musicians, including John Pisano, Russell Malone, Christian McBride, and Peter Erskine (among others), clearly seem stifled by their respective roles. There are plenty of strong compositions here, including standards like "I Remember You," "The Night We Called It a Day," and "I Get Along Without You Very Well," but the unimaginative and often syrupy charts take their toll on the performances. What is even sillier is the label's insistence on attempting to photograph the artist in various sultry poses, which she evidently wants to discourage by refusing to provide much of a smile (the rumor is that she's not happy with this part of the business at all). If you are looking for unchallenging background music, this will fit the bill, but jazz fans are advised to check out Krall's earlier releases instead.
