Next to Normal’s I Miss the Mountains Triumphant by Sheera Ben-David
01 year ago
John Hoglund, of Cabaret Scenes recently commented, âOn her exceptional new album, On a Carousel, Sheera Ben-David celebrates a decade of songs from her life. Recorded live at the Metropolitan Room, with her multi-talented brother Adam Ben-David as musical director, the album is a theatrical journey of reflection that resonates with anyone who ever had a dream. â
Â
The review suggested that starting with the lilting âI Miss the Mountainsâ (Kitt-Yorkey), Ben-David captures both an innocence and a wise maturity fused with a yearning for life that is palpable. With careful phrasing, she unleashes a waterfall of emotion in song that allows the listener to peek inside a centered artist who has weathered some bumps and moved on. Warm readings on âHereâs to Lifeâ (Butler-Molinary) and Leslie Bricusseâs âWhen I Look in Your Eyesâ are perfect samplings of one who has lived and understands the subtexts sheâs singing about. She digs even deeper on John Bucchinoâs âIf I Ever Say Iâm Over Youâ and âThis Momentâ as well as on two of Jacques Brelâs frenetic mad scenes, âBrusselsâ and âCarousel,â where she gets to breathe new life into these showy theatrical neo-classic war horses.
Â
Sheera said of âI Miss the Mountainsâ:
Â
âTom Kitt wrote this song for his show, Next to Normal. He is a friend of ours and I fell in love with the song and began to perform it before the show hit Broadway and became a Tony award winner. I was challenged and intrigued with the content being about mental illness. I know a special piece when I hear it. â
Â
The album was recently named Cabaret Hotline Onlineâs 2008 Outstanding Female Vocalist Album. Complementing Adam Ben-Davidâs sublime arrangements are Mat Fieldes on bass, David Rozenblatt and Damien Bassman on drums and J. J. McGeehan on guitars.
Â
For decades, Sheeraâs mother, Batyah Godfrey, was a soloist at the Metropolitan Opera. Their father, Kerry Ben-David – who met Batyah at Juilliard – was cantor at Scarsdale Synagogue for two decades after working at the Rome Opera as a Fulbright scholar.
“When we were growing up, we spent a lot of time backstage at the Met,” recalls Sheera, “I spent a lot of time being exposed to what I consider still the finest of the finest when it comes to music. I have a deep appreciation for classical and opera and all those things. “
She also was drawn to sacred singing.
Â
This June, the New York cabaret star gave birth to her first child, Baxter. Sheera insists that Baxter is her best performance to date, however those listening to this extraordinary CD may beg to differ when listening to this amazing young woman sing.
Â
 At the 20th Annual Cabaret Convention held this past October at Lincoln Center in Manhattan Sheera Ben-David received the Julie Wilson Award.  The CD, On a Carousel, is produced and arranged by Adam Ben-David, and is available at: http://www. cdbaby. com/cd/sheerabendavid2/from/tblink.

Sheera said of “If I Ever Say I’m Over You” (with Music and Lyrics by John Bucchino)
“This has been part of my repertoire and my soul for quite a while and whenever I get a chance to sing it live, I feel as though I am slipping into a warm and cozy bed. Although the song makes me feel that anguish of past loves, I am drawn to the open expression and confession of the lyrics. ”
