Description of Classic Broadway

To be sure, there are some problems: On "I Can't Get Started," her pitch varies wildly at times, and elsewhere her pure, white, vibratoless, boyish tone can make you a little crazy--take the words "face" and "begin" on "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" for example. In addition, she sounds purposefully detached to a point of catatonia a lot--but, heavens, she makes pretty sounds! She actually sings "Don't Cry for Me..." and makes you not want to throw something, and "Embraceable You" and "My Funny Valentine" are gorgeous. "Younger Than Springtime" is dull, dull, dull, but her famous "Send in the Clowns" is better and better. Jonathan Tunick's arrangements are properly wispy--lots of harp for this soft, sweet singing. Did you like Willie Nelson's Stardust album? Then you'll like this too. --Robert Levine
