5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful collection, sensitively interpreted!, November 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Broadway Classics (Audio CD)

JUDY COLLINS, has a remarkable career, and has shown the highest degree of good taste in choosing songs, and thematic albums to commit her enormous talents to, this one is no exception. Her sensitive, unique performances of many Broadway standards, brings each and every piece to life again, with a new twist, solely her own! Especialy moving is the song, "Don't Cry For me Argentina," which has been done repeatedly, but here, it has a new horn section, one that brings yet a new demension out of a song, where it seemed there were no new emotions to wring out of a well-visited piece of music. Leave it to Judy to find a new "twist" to a familiar piece of music. Another gem, is "How Are Things In Glocca Morra?" A song, unlike, "Argentina," that has hardly been covered at all! Bravo, Judy, for this musical treat!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Surprise, January 27, 2000

This review is from: Broadway Classics (Audio CD)

Stumbled upon this CD very recently and wondered how I missed the September release of such a gem. A collection of truly classic Broadway melodies delivered enchantingly. Stand-outs include one of the best versions of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" I have ever heard, an affecting "How Are Things In Glocca Morra?" and an "I've Grown Accustomed To His Face" that warms the heart. Apparently, not much, if any, promotion for this album, and that is a shame. Miss Collins' voice is in fine form, and she does a terrific job with some wonderful songs. She deserves better. This is an album you would not regret buying.

This review is from: Classic Broadway (Audio CD)

Judy Collins' voice has one of the most crystal clear vocal qualities of any singer. She sounds delightfully resonant on this "Classic Broadway" release. My favorite is the "My Fair Lady" classic "I've Grown Accustomed to His Face." Judy soars over the delightfully wistful orchestra, punctuated by the lovely clarinet. On "Till There Was You" from "The Music Man," Judy melts into the lyric and seems to soar on the wings of love. "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" is given a lovely reading on the Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber tune from "Evita," "I had to let it happen, I had to change." This is a delightful set of great Broadway classics done by one our best singers! Enjoy!
