Music reviews of The Broadway Album
Music Review: Leaves you wanting more!
Rating: 5 Stars
This is by far Barbra Streisand's greatest album. We are still waiting for the Broadway songs that she also recorded such as 'Heather on the Hill', 'How Are Things In Glocca Morra',etc. Streisand's breathtaking voice stands on it's own; the song selection is impeccable and the lush orchestrations are next to none. Streisand's 'Broadway Album' is truly one of the most definitive albums of the 20th century. When I listen to the album today it seems just as new and fresh as when I bought it back in 1985. Streisand the singer/actress and her selection of material stand the test of time and will be heard by future generations as the premiere talent of our time.
Description of The Broadway Album
As its title indicates, this 1985 recording marked Barbra Streisand's return to her Broadway roots (significantly, she had dropped her pop-period Guilty perm and returned to straight hair). The CD contains a broad selection of show tunes, from Guys and Dolls's "Adelaide's Lament" to Sweeney Todd's "Not While I'm Around." But let's face it: this may also be one of Babs's most dated albums, due to typically '80s synthesizer-heavy arrangements that simply don't work with the material. Company's "Being Alive" is scarred by a preening alto sax, while West Side Story's "Something's Coming" features what sounds suspiciously like syndrums. But--and it's a pretty big "but"--Streisand sounds more buttery than ever ("Send in the Clowns" may be one of her finest '80s moments), so much so that she often manages to overcome the cheesy production. Now that's a singer. --Elisabeth VincentelliClassic Vocalists CDs
