5.0 out of 5 stars Tony and Bill at their best, December 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Together Again (Audio CD)

When I listened to this CD the first time, my reaction was that the first Tony Bennett/Bill Evans album was better. But after several listenings, I've come to the conclusion that Together Again is at least as good as the first TB/BE collaboration. I especially like the alternate takes; indeed, I wonder why some of the alternate takes are alternate! The alternate rendition of "The Two Lonely People" is particularly moving -- I think Tony captures the meaning of the lyric a little more convincingly on the alternate take than he does on the final take. Tony and Bill's rendition of "You Must Believe in Spring" -- a Michel Legrand-written masterpiece -- is a treasure. That song alone is worth the price of the whole CD.

In short, this release is a must-have. Get it and enjoy it for a long, long time.

Having been in love with the first Bill Evans/Tony Bennett collaboration for years, I have been frustrated by the fact that this 2nd project has been unavailable for so long. What a thrill that it has been re-released, and with bonus tracks and alternate takes making it twice the length of the original. The quality of Tony Bennett's instrument has never been more evident than in these raw, brave duets with Bill Evans. There is subtlety and maturity in spades as both are such consumate and experienced artists who had nothing to prove. This CD is exquisite from first to last, with a superb selection of unusual songs, including Evan's own remarkable tune, The Two Lonely People, but it is the version of You Must Believe In Spring which is so sumptuous and delicate as to produce goosebumps for this listener. If you're a fan of either Bennett or Evans, this CD is essential. Manna from heaven.

A simple poignant collection of wonderful songs. This is right up there with Ella and Joe Pass collaboration.
