Her first #1, and probably the quintessential Streisand album, featuring the 1964 hit title track. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Best Albums By the Worlds's Best Vocallist., April 3, 2001

Barbra Streisand's first number one album is still one of the most exciting and intensely satisfying vocal performances ever recorded. Like most of her glorious early recordings, this album contains some incredibly varied material yet the lush arrangements and the elegantly restrained vocals of Streisand give it an amazing consistency. Every song reresents a cornucopia of emotions, all of which Streisand handles with immense poise. From the beautiful "Absent Minded Me," in which she tries to conceal her obvious hurt as she sings of a lost love, to the immortal title song, which has lost none of its powerful sentiment, Streisand is in top form throughout this entire landmark album. Definitely one of Streisand's best efforts.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best of the last millenium, March 11, 2002

I am reviewing the album, not the remastered CD panned above. (Try to find a used one) To state it simply, I am a fan of female vocalists, and not a big Streisand fan, but this album is one of TEN I would save if I had to flee town. The songs are brilliant and Streisand's voice is youthful and spirited and not tired- out as she has seemed of late. The arrangements are classic. The songs are mostly Broadway musical songs. This is simply a great album and one I have listened to consistently since I was 14 when I bought the first edition. If one only owns one Streisand album this should be it.

1.0 out of 5 stars This remastered cd should be recalled!, February 6, 2002

This review is from: People (Audio CD)

This is a great album...the reason for the 1-star rating is the quality of the newly remastered 2002 disc. It is actually hard to listen to...Barbra's voice in most cuts is scratchy and not clear. If you already own the previous remaster with the white sticker, it sounds so much better than this one. I have to wonder how Sony (or Barbra) would allow this to be on the shelves...there should be a replacement (or credit) recall on this ... what a rip off of a classic early Streisand album.
