Music reviews of In Person At The Empire Room (Digitally Remastered)

Music Review: Merci Beaucoup, Gisele!
Rating: 4 Stars

In her heydey, Gisele MacKenzie was one of the hardest-working actresses in showbusiness. Primarily a singer and recording star, but certainly no stranger to musical theatre, or on television with dramatic roles.

With her trademark husky, lush voice, she dazzles on this recording, a condensed version of her cabaret act as performed at New York's prestigious Empire Room in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel; one of the hottest venues for any self-respecting cabaret performer. She's accompanied by Al Pellegrini with the Emil Coleman Orchestra.

Ms MacKenzie offers a dynamite medley from "Gypsy" (the then-current blockbuster on Broadway; sadly she never got the chance to play Mama Rose). Choice highlights include "An Opening Song", "Le Fiacre" (one of her early hits), and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", another old chestnut that seems to bloom anew with MacKenzie's sensitive interpretation. "The Twelfth of Never" is a beautiful love song; whilst MacKenzie also gets to cut loose with comedy numbers like "April in Fairbanks" and "The Piper of Dundee".

The sound quality is what can only be expected with a live recording from 1959; crackly with constant static. Nevertheless, a must-own for Gisele admirers.
