[更早] [欧美] [爵士] [高格音乐] Diana Krall《The Look of Love》(爱的容颜)[SACD-R/ISO][3.1GB]2002年发行

专辑介绍：

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著法兰克．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於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。
The Look of Love doesn't tamper with Diana Krall's ongoing success, continuing the emphasis on romantic ballads and embracing them with lush string arrangements. At the core, of course, is Krall's voice. She's developing into one of the great torch singers, with an approach that's both direct and subtly nuanced, true to the song and yet deeply personal. There's a combination of restraint and drama here, as Krall ranges from the confident to the wistful, from loss to playful insinuation, as each song requires. "Cry Me a River" is bittersweet triumph, while "Love Letters" and "Maybe You'll Be There" maintain the most tenuous emotional hold, at once fragile and resilient. "Besame Mucho" and "Dancing in the Dark" are sultry romances wafted on light Latin beats. The songs develop their intimacy in the setting of Krall's quartet, which usually includes bassist Christian McBride and drummer Peter Erskine and several fine guitarists, most frequently Russell Malone. They're a superb complement to her voice and piano, and the close communication carries through the depth and sheen added by Claus Ogerman's rich orchestrations. --Stuart Broomer
