2.0 out of 5 stars Well intended, but uninspired, May 16, 2000

By	Reviewer123 "cj123" - See all my reviews

I wanted to like this CD, but after listening to it several times I have to conclude that both the arrangements and the singing are not especially inspired. There is nothing NEW one gets from hearing these interpretations of the songs, and if you have heard them sung by others with a better feel for the words and music (e.g. Liz Callaway's or Patti LuPone's "Meadowlark", Lena Horne's "Bewitched", Streisand's "I Have A Love" and "Some Enchanted Evening"), then the set seems particularly uninventive and emotionally uninvolving. It's vaguely pleasant, but I don't find myself wanting to listen to it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good broadway cd from two perfectly paired talents, June 26, 1999

By A Customer

This is an excellent cd that true broadway fans should enjoy immensely. I especially loved Lee's performance of the song "Corner of the Sky." Joanne shines on the Stephen Schwartz song "Meadowlark," which I had heard years ago by Sarah Brightman from an inmport cd. I saw them perform these songs in concert, and it was evident that they were as adept at showmanship as they are at singing. Alltogether an excellent cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was "Some Enchanted Evening"...., September 30, 2005

By	Maureen Mahoney "Mo" (Montgomery Village, MD) - See all my reviews

I LOVE this CD.....Lee and Joanne are unstoppable.....From the beginning song "Some Enchanted Evening"....this CD just excels in sentiment and emotion and character....

So many favorites, but "Just In Love" was alot of fun to listen too....their voices blended so beautifully....I dance to that song all the time!

"Bewitched" by Joanne was stunningly done....and to be followed by "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" beautifully and soulfully sung by Lee....these 2 are magic together!

I also think Lee's voice on "So In Love" is telling a story we would all like to get across...he is the words...he feels the love so strong...he is just that good, his voice is so smooth and he makes this song effortless in his presentation!

Singers like Lee don't acquire this talent, they are born with it! This man's voice makes you stop and take notice....just beautiful!

I will say Lee's rendition of "Bring Him Home" brought tears to my eyes...his honest emotion is evident in each lyric he sings....this man's voice is beyond perfection!

Overall...I am truly enjoying this CD and find myself putting it on more than once during the day! I can only imagine how it would be to see these two in concert singing their hearts out...I would probably have to get up in the aisle and dance!

Another beautiful CD any Lee Lessack fan needs to own.....

Thanks for listening,
Maureen
