5.0 out of 5 stars Julie Sings Broadway At Her Best, November 17, 2002

By

This album showcases Julie Andrews at her best, singing Broadway music as it is meant to be performed. Julie has always been my second favorite singer of all time (second only to Judy Garland) and I also had the pleasure of seeing her live in concert in the late 80's. This album reminds me of why I have always held her in such high esteem. All the songs are beautifully orchestrated and Julie's voice is in top form--expressive and enchanting. Her high notes are perfect and seem to float on air. Although there are no selections from "The Sound of Music" here, this album gives the opportunity to enjoy her music from many other shows. It is a shame that popular music today seems to exclude the beautiful soprano voice in favor of annoyingly loud voices with very limited ranges. Thank goodness for recordings such as this one that feature the female voice at its best. Truly, Julie Andrews is on a very high pedestal that few today can come close to touching.

The range that Julie Andrews has in this album is nothing short of astonishing; note the build in "I Feel Pretty" about 45 seconds into the cut. All of the tracks are very good, with a nice mix of song styles ("Burlington Bertie From Bow"). For anyone who enjoys this album, I would recommend listening to Rebecca Luker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album that no Julie fan should be without!!!, November 4, 2001

While this album is only a compilation of other early Julie Andrews recordings, it captures Julie at the height of her singing career and some of her greatest performances of lesser known songs that she sang. "I Feel Pretty" and "How Are Things In Glocca Morra" are absolutely beautiful, as well as a number of her broadway/television hits (selections from Cinderella, MFL, and Camelot). Whether you're a Broadway fan, a Julie fan, or both, this album is a MUST!!!
