Music reviews of Duets
Music Review: fine collection of duets with the great Judy Garland
Rating: 5 Stars
Judy Garland will remain one of the world's greatest entertainers--ever. Judy had an intuitive and impeccable sense of timing; and she could sing, dance and act unlike any other performer. Judy could also use her talent to reach out to her adoring audiences and lead them wherever she wanted them to go. This great CD gives us a fantastic collection of duets recorded from Judy Garland's critically acclaimed weekly television show on CBS during the 1963-1964 season.
The CD starts with Judy doing a flawless duet of "Yes, Indeed" with Tony Bennett and Dick Shawn. The backup chorus harmonizes to perfection and the musical arrangement works wonders for this number. Judy and Lena Horne also perform wonderfully with great chemistry as they banter and sing through a medley of songs including "Honeysuckle Rose;" "Meet Me In Saint Louis;" "Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart" and "The Trolley Song." WOW! The musical arrangement relies on the horns and the percussion to bolster the melody; and this works well, too. I think you will agree that the duet between Judy and Lena is a highlight of this album.
Judy and Vic also perform a very special medley of songs from the famous "Porgy And Bess;" both Vic and Judy are in excellent form and their excellent diction enhances the beauty of this medley. In addition, Judy and her daughter Liza Minnelli do a sublime medley of "Let Me Entertain You" and "Two Lost Souls" and the musical interlude seems to indicate that mother and daughter were also acting their very best on stage.
The next duet comes from Judy's Christmas episode; she sings "Consider Yourself" with her three children Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft and Joe Luft. The result charms me with their natural chemistry which weaves pure magic for this relentlessly happy number. There's one contrived moment when Liza pretends not to realize that they're on television; but this works well anyway and "Consider Yourself" shines like gold!
Judy also does a fine duet with her old pal Mickey Rooney on this CD; together they sing "You're So Right For Me." Again, their natural chemistry enables them to shine brighter than ever before for this duet. As I listen to "You're So Right For Me" I can literally see them smiling at each other with delight as they deliver this duet flawlessly.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end; and the last track on this CD gives us a highly memorable duet Judy performed with Barbra Streisand. This duet ranks very high on the list of attractions because the two ladies rarely worked together. Both Judy and Barbra sing without a superfluous note! The audience loves it, too. SMILE
The liner notes give you an essay about Judy; and there are wonderful black and white photos of Judy. You also get the song credits and recording dates. The cover artwork gives us a beautiful picture of Judy sitting on a chair during one of the episodes of her weekly television series. Awesome!
Nobody could ever touch Judy Garland when she was at the top of her game--as she is consistently throughout this CD. Judy possessed a talent that still shines brightly today; sales of her CDs and DVDs remain quite strong as I write this. Judy Garland will never be forgotten; and I doubt we'll ever see another one quite like her.
I highly recommend this CD for Judy's fans and people who enjoy classic pop vocals.
Enjoy!
