Utter bliss, magnificent, simply divine to the ears.,
This review is from: Build a Bridge (Audio CD)
I love this cd, it is a joy devine to listen to, yes we can sit back and critique it for what it is not. But in this case, I'd rather spend my time enjoying what is offered here. It is a very moving experience for me to hear Mrs. Mcdonald singing any thing,any time ,any place, I was fortunate enought to see her in Ann Arbor, Michigan a couple years ago. It was very satisfying to say the least. And once again I have no complaints with her choice of material for this disc. I believe that we must learn to except that artist must be allowed to do what moves them. This is what makes the hard work that goes into every performance (when such is the case) worth while. With a voice like hers I would not care if she sang theme songs for sitcoms. I just love to hear her sing.
Love,Peace and Harmony- The*Hot*Wax*Kid*

Huh?,
This review is from: Build a Bridge (Audio CD)
I'm confused by Amazon's review - I think this is a beautiful album. It features Audra's trademark surprising song choices and nuanced interpretations. I think the reviewer who said that Audra's interpretation of the Nellie McKay song was completely straightforward should have another listen. One of Audra's biggest gifts (aside from her incredible set of pipes) is her dramatic ability, her ability to communicate such a wide range of colors and emotions.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Audra to record the wonderful set of "7 Deadly Sins" songs she sang at Zankel Hall a couple of years ago. Please, Audra, please!!!

Disappointing.,
By Lily Serene "Lily" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Build a Bridge (Audio CD)
Although I love Audra McDonald's voice and interpretation and acting ability, I'm disappointed by the choice of songs. From reading the other customer reviews, it seems that I'm out of step. I want to hear songs with melody; something you can hum afterwards. These songs are more like musical prose than musical poetry. Like the boring part between the arias, if you're not an opera lover. The singing is of course wonderful, but I wish she'd go back to the kind of music she had on Happy Songs.
