5.0 out of 5 stars Brassy, Magnificent broadway divas!, May 14, 2009

By	Basso Profondo (Texas) - See all my reviews

The highlights of this CD for me are Patti Lupone's "Being Alive"...simply stunning...such power and emotion in her voice. "Mean to me" by Nell Carter...this was really my first time to hear Ms. Carter perform...I wish she'd made more recordings! First of all, she has a marvelous instrument, capable of great power or intimate tenderness, and she sings with such soulfulness that makes my heart melt. "Children and Art"...as usual, Bernadette demonstrates that she is a force to be reckoned with in the dramatic world...this selection is not quite so "brassy" and over the top, but it is executed with such nuance and insight and characterization as only a true master is capable of. "Getting married today"...I love Madeline Kahn in everthing that she does...this particular piece, I would imagine, is very difficult to learn and perform...just listen and you'll see why...it's a joy to listen to.

Those are just the highlights for ME, each and every track is worth listening to more than once...they are all masterful performances!

This is great. Anything with Ethel, Bernadette, Barbara (both of them), Mary, and Marin is beyond words. Any one of them by themselves is awesome but these ladies together are mind blowing. All of the women sound amazing but they made a mistake on the list of songs and composers. "Raise the Roof" sung by Julia Murney (I love her)was written by Andrew Lippa, not LaChusia.
