Details:
Kaveh/Hope is Rebecca Teplow''s follow-up to her successful debut album, Prayers/Tefilot. Kaveh/Hope was released in January, 2009.
Judith Pinnolis, of the "Jewish Music Web Center," states: "Rebecca Teplow''s latest CD "Kaveh, Hope" has just been released. Rebecca''s strong embrace of text is clear and distinct. She has interestingly even composed variations of her own songs and presents "Gam Ki Elech" twice in different styles. I liked the Joni Mitchell clarity and simplicity of her word painting in "Esa Einei" and that is one of her real strengths. The rock idiom predominates as in pieces such as "Hinei Kel," which also includes some fun instrumentals. Teplow''s use of contemporary musical idioms are muted but used in a effective way, as in the introduction to "Peyrasti," which starts out in one idiom but morphs into a rock sequence with some nice guitar riffs. The songs showcases Teplow''s vocal range and ends the entire album with a quiet dieout. Many will enjoy this album."
Seth Rogovoy in the "Forward" listed Rebecca''s previous album "Prayers" among the best CD''s of 2004. He states "Teplow boasts the voice of a pop diva with a hint of Barbara Streisand, well suited to her dramatic, cello-flecked, pop-rock arrangements of Psalms and passages from Jewish wisdom literature."
George Robinson in the "Jewish Week" exclaims "well, she certainly has my attention. Teplow''s voice is lovely. A little Norah Jones, a little Neshama Carlebach, with a good cabaret singer''s flair...She''s definitely someone worth keeping an eye and ear on."
Elana Margulies of the "Suburbanite" boldly states:"There is a new voice in town. Rebecca Teplow."
Tanya Krim in the "New Jersey Jewish Standard" described Rebecca''s voice as "powerful and melifluous, reminiscent of Barbara Streisand''s."
To describe the musical style of "Kaveh," Rebecca Teplow states: "People gain an image of what my music is about without reference to Hebrew. This is because the words are so vividly linked to the musical techniques used. For instance, in Kaveh, the hope that we are trying to hold onto when we are in a desperate situation is presented in the opening notes of "Kaveh" (which means "hope") with a series of dissonant chord clusters. When the words move into "strengthen yourself and G-d will instill courage in your heart", there is a strong resolution of the dissonance presented. Another example is present in the rhythmic drive of "Nachon Libi" (which means "steadfast is my heart") reflecting your heart racing towards G-d presence in your life, as if you are singing to G-d with your whole being. It is an announcement that you are ready for a spiritual connection. I will sing music even with my soul. The beat is awakening the world to G-d''s presence in their life."
