REVIEW
by Anthony Tognazzini
Founded in 1982, the Young@Heart choir hails from Northampton, Massachusetts, and features members ranging in age from 71 to 88. But there’s an added novelty factor to the group’s profile: the choir doesn’t specialize in traditional choral music or hits from the ‘40s; instead these singing senior citizens take on the music of Sonic Youth, the Clash, U2, and Coldplay. On paper the concept seems gimmicky, but there’s something remarkably lively, even inspirational, about Young@Heart’s performances.
MOSTLY LIVE is the companion album to the documentary about the choir. As such, it serves as a nice souvenir for fans of the film, but the album is musically satisfying in its own right. In addition to the spirited singing and resonant arrangements, there’s an intensity here informed, perhaps, by the sense of frailty and loss that accompanies old age. Whatever the reason, MOSTLY LIVE packs a serious emotional punch.
