Una
Noche al Lunar
Ladino Life Songs
Arranged for soprano and strings by Arie Bar Droma
With the Israel Soloists Ensemble
(released 2005)
|
|
Tamar Kleinberger's debut CD is
a
unique project which brings Ladino
songs, originating in the culture of
the Jews of Spain, together with the
culture of Western classical music.
The album includes a varied collection
of traditional Ladino
songs, arranged
for soprano and string orchestra. The arrangements were
written by Arie Bar
Droma - violinist, violist, composer and arranger, member
of The Israel Chamber Orchestra and founder of the Israel
Soloists Ensemble, which accompanies
Tamar in this recording.

Throughout
the years, the Sephardic Jews' culture absorbed many outside
influences from different sources: from the Arabic world
of medieval Spain to movies, radio, and Western musical
fashions of the 20th century. It is due to precisely this
jumble of materials and influences that these songs possess
a special charm, beauty and depth.
In this performance there was no intention and no attempt
to recreate the past. On the contrary, the process of
enrichment and inspiration resulting from the meeting
between different cultures led to the creation of something
new and original. This recording is in
fact an additional, unusual and exciting link in the developmental
chain of Ladino songs.

"...In her album 'Una Noche
al Lunar', Tamar Kleinberger performs songs for soprano
and string orchestra, based on traditional Ladino melodies.
The composer and arranger Arie Bar Droma took the Ladino,
which flourished in the crowded alleys of Jerusalem, and
put it into into the stocks of western classical music's
orchestrated and precise discipline in a graceful and
innocent manner. When one reaches the familiar and wonderful
track 'Adio Querida', even the Ashkenazi among
us will be assailed by shivers of yearning for the once
young and innocent Israel, moved deeply by the sweeter
than honey voice of a soprano of international calibre,
and most of all understand that truly great music does
not get lost in adventurous fusions such as this..."
