5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best, December 2, 1999

I have owned this recording for years, and am so pleased it has been reissued. The arrangements are stunning ... at times Karen's voice and the accompanying saxophone are intermingled so deliciously that it is difficult to tell which is which. The album was recorded acoustically in a church, which provides for a presence and ambience not found in drier studio recordings.

I own over 700 cd's, and this is by far one of my favorites that I visit over and over again.

Bravo Karen.

5.0 out of 5 stars STUNNING SONGS-STUNNING ARRANGEMENTS-STUNNING VOICE, June 8, 2000

I purchased this CD some years ago now and it will always remain one of my all time favourites. There is not a bum track. "This Nearly was Mine" and, the unlikely, "Mr Snow" are superb. You may have heard many of these wonderful show songs before, but the arrangements are so fresh and exciting that the songs seem like new again. The success of this great album is shared between the singer, the top notch musicians (who get their chance to shine) and the brilliant production team. Now that it's been re-issued there's no excuse for you NOT to have this in your collection. I'm too far away- down under- to have had the opportunity to ever seen Karen Mason perform live - having this album is some compensation.

THIS IS A SENSATIONAL ALBUM WITH KAREN'S VOICE CONTINUING TO SHOW COMPLETE CLARITY AND DEPTH. A WONDERFUL MIX OF STANDARDS AND BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN SONGS.
KAREN TAKES THE BOREDOM AND REPETITION OUT OF CABARET!!!!!
