Music reviews of Bernadette Peters Loves Rodgers & Hammerstein
Music Review: Something Wonderful!
Rating: 4 Stars
Mostly this album is dead-on right in its interpretation. This is not surprising from two such Broadway veterans as Bernadette Peters and Jonathan Tunik. They understand that there is very little you have to do to a Rodgers and Hammerstein song but trust it. R&H have already done all the work with their wonderful,sensitive and revealing music and lyrics. All the singer has to do follow their lead and she can't go wrong. Peters approaches the songs with simplicity and honesty. She even proves herself to have quite a lovely legitimate voice in her stunning rendition of "If I Loved You." Her "Mr. Snow" is so perfect it makes the listener wish she had had the opportunity to play Carrie Pipperidge at some point in her career.
The only time Peters misteps is where she doesn't trust the material. I was excited to see that she had chosen "The Gentleman is a Dope", thinking she would be a natural to sing this song. Unfortunately she plays up the anger instead of the hurt. Rodgers has already written the anger into the music for her. Peters also puts her campy, vampy spin on "There is Nothing Like a Dame" which is a good attempt and probably works much better in front of a live audience than on a studio recording. It doesn't quite have the desired affect here which
is a testament to how integral R&H songs are to their plot. It is very difficult to take them out of context and give them an imposed meaning.
The CD ends with "Something Good" as a "birthday kiss" to Richard Rodgers who wrote both the music and lyrics for this song. This is unfortunate because it is one of his more mediocre songs written to replace the even worse "Ordinary Couple" in the film version of SOUND OF MUSIC. The CD, while very enjoyable, is a bit ballad heavy. I wish Peters had chosen a few more playful, up numbers. I particularly would have loved to hear her sing "It's Me" from ME AND JULIET, a song about an actress. Just imagine her singing these lyrics: "who is that delectable dame/ cool as cream and hotter than flame/ Who, who could it be?/ It's me, it's me it's me!" Ah, well...maybe she'll do it on the sequel album "Bernadette Peters STILL loves Rodgers and Hammerstein". ;-)
