Editorial Reviews

Nonesuch Records releases Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays The Beatles on February 10, 2023. The live solo album features the pianist and composer’s interpretations of nine songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and one by George Harrison. Although other Beatles songs have long been staples of Mehldau’s solo and trio shows, he had not previously recorded any of the tunes on Your Mother Should Know. The album ends with a David Bowie classic that draws a connection between The Beatles and pop songwriters who followed. Your Mother Should Know was recorded in September 2020 at Philharmonie de Paris.“There is an undisputed universality to The Beatles,” Mehldau says. “Their music cuts across cultural and generational lines, as new listeners continue to discover it. There is an immediacy and integrity to their songs that draws everyone in.“When I was getting started at the instrument, The Beatles were not on my radar yet, but a lot of the enduring piano-pop music I heard on the radio grew out of them. That music became part of my personality, and when I discovered The Beatles later, it all tied together. Their music, and its wide influence on other artists, continues to inform what I do.”“If we look at The Beatles and the multitude of artists who have been influenced by one or another facet of their oeuvre, this paradoxical recipe for longevity is one way to consider their ongoing footprint,” Mehldau continues. “For there is a good deal of strangeness to much of their music, particularly in the series of game-changing albums that begin with Rubber Soul through the release of their final record, Let It Be.”

Great expectations

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I had great expectations for this album, having always loved the Beatles and heard the interview of Brad Mehidau on National Public Radio, but too many selections are less than ideal for improvisational jazz.

I Am the Walrus and Maxwell's Silver Hammer are wonderful songs, but not for jazz piano. On each, random flourishes of discordant notes enhance nothing. On I Saw Her Standing There, Mehidau pounds out a boogie-woogie loud enough to frighten many seventeen year old girls. I love honky-tonk and boogie-woogie, but a slower, gentle emphasis on the thrill of first attraction would have been delightful.

Your Mother Should Know, the title track, and For No One are both wonderfully done, and his cover of Blackbird is beautiful but not included, one of several other Beatles songs more suitable for jazz improvisation previously recorded by Mehidau and his trio.

After listening to this album several times over many days, I realized that every song had already undergone masterful improvisation by three geniuses, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and the extraordinary classical expertise of producer George Martin. Their collaborative genius created masterpieces with or without lyrics.

The George Harrison song, If I Needed Someone, is excellent, but the best selection on an album of Beatles songs is, remarkably, a David Bowie masterpiece.

Brilliant Miniatures

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2023

Verified Purchase

As many have said, Brad Mehldau is *the* premier pianist of his generation, and I can't think of anyone with his range: solo, trio, prog rock, Bach, piano concertos. His range amazes. And this collection does not disappoint. Each of these Beatles tunes is treated as if it were a Chopin prelude, and each is a little jewel.

But that's the one drawback. Unlike the solo work in 10 Years Solo Live, Mehldau prefers now to play shorter pieces. He's no longer playing these twenty minute or so explorations that you think would leave the piano a smoking, smouldering heap. Personaly, I prefer the longer explorations. But the Beatles album is exquisitely beautiful, and so, for that, we must be very, very grateful.

Gimme more!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2023

This cd is on constant repeat at my house. I love the pure piano jazz interpretation of original Beetles music. It makes me a little sentimental remembering their music when it first arrived in the US when I was a teenager. Hearing this version so many years later and knowing their history is poignant. I hear the music differently now as an old lady from the way I heard it as a teenager. It is so much more complex than it was then. My only regret is that the cd isn’t longer with more interpretations. Perhaps a second cd will be in the offing? If so, sign me up pronto!

Brad M. does some of his best work on this CD/Album. I have 'almost' everything he has recorded, this record is fun and HIGHLY creative. A smooth rework of Beetles classics--- By the way, I have NEVER heard a bad recording from this artist, he is one of my favorites, a truly great musician. Amazing work. Also recently listened to an interview with BM on NPR, it made me ever respect the work and artist more.

Normally jazz versions of Beatles songs don't work - they don't seem to offer the same opportunities for improvisation as the Great American Songbook - but on this occasion Mehldau makes it work. Very strong recommendation.
