Editorial Reviews

-Backstage

"Every once in a while a voice comes along that is so awe-inspiring you want to rush out and write your congressman to have it declared a national treasure. Joan Ryan possesses just such a voice.

She has amazing breath control, superb phrasing and enunciation, and her notes hold clear and true across a breathtaking range."

5.0 out of 5 stars What An Incredible Voice!, July 17, 2000

By

This review is from: Joan Ryan (Audio CD)

I purchased Joan Ryan from my Instant Recommendations list, simply because she was there. I wasn't sure what I would be getting myself into, but knew that I had enjoyed her work in the musical "Ruthless."

What a voice. While some of the songs on the CD leave a little to be desired, Joan Ryan makes it all worthwhile. Incredible range, incredible tone, all of it wrapped up into the woman that is Joan Ryan. She truly deserves more projects, more songs, and more albums.

Particularly of note on the CD were the songs, :I Won't Last A Day Without You," "My Brother Lived In San Francisco," and "Shall We Dance." The latter is from the musical, "The King And I," and I never would have thought it to be presented in this particular style. From a lush, jazzy, romantic piece to the soaring belt piece it becomes, going through two key changes, Joan Ryan completely reinvents the piece. I'm extremely happy she did.

I suggest to anyone who may be a fan of cabaret recordings or to anyone who just enjoys hearing a superb vocalist, to check out Joan Ryan.

While some of the songs aren't worthy of Five stars, she definitely is.

5.0 out of 5 stars CABARET IS ALIVE AND WELL, March 18, 2000

This review is from: Joan Ryan (Audio CD)

It's wonderful to hear many "new" voices recording cabaret music and Joan Ryan hits a high note among all the talent out there. Her voice is clear, evocative and beautiful offering an assortment of songs that veer away from the most popular (and ultimately overdone) tunes. I can't wait for her next CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Range, November 24, 1999

I met Joan Ryan after listening to her perform in San Francisco. I had an interesting evening of laughing and crying (her music moved me to tears). This CD is beautiful and has a nice variety. I highly recommend it.
