4.0 out of 5 stars For Eternal Romantics, September 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Evergreen: Music From The Films Of Barbra Streisand (Film Score Anthology) (Audio CD)

It's been said, "You either love Barbra Streisand or you don't." The same can probably be said of Evergreen, Sonic Images' latest release of the best selections from her movies. The compilation enjoys a strong, emotionally cohesive theme, brewing with the same lofty, romantic-dramatic yearnings and awakenings as Streisand's characters and stories. In a manner of speaking, this is very much a "chick flick" collection, one for eternal romantics and sensitive aspirants. From the first track, "Funny Girl" to the last, "Yentl," the album dances to sweeping, orchestral rhapsodies for the heart. And despite the fact that the album revolves around the diva, all tracks are completely instrumental, with no vocals whatsoever.

Each track is a superb selection of each score. Melodic, thematic, rich, these excerpts only leave you wanting more. Of course, the cultural icons, "The Way We Were," and A Star is Born's "Evergreen," connect immediately. But it is the other cues that make this album a prize. The Funny Girl "Medley" is an especially spirited track with a broader range. John Beal's artful performance of Nuts is one of the more subtle and quietly seductive cues on the album. The best track is possibly "Prisoner" from The Eyes of Laura , a luminous saxophone theme that flawlessly textured with sensational strings. And Yentl score fans hit the jackpot with the comprehensive orchestral score suite that is not available on the Yentl soundtrack.

I really love this CD. I have one in the car, one at work, and one at home. The orchestra and the music choices are perfect for any Barbra Streisand fan. I highly recommend. What a great tribute to the world's greatest star ever. I would think Ms. Streisand would be honored by this.

Even though there are no vocals on Barbra's part (and it is not authorized by her), it is still a very nice collection of theme songs by different symphonic orchestra's around the world. Well worth the minimal cost... a nice addition to anyone's collection.
