Free Music Notes for Dinah Sings, Previn Plays
Free Music Review: timeless, beautiful--and even intoxicating
Hit: 5 Stars
Dinah Sings, Previn Plays features Dinah singing her heart out with André Previn on the piano. Dinah Shore performed as a big band singer doing classic versions of love songs and more; but she never shied away from a challenge! These jazzy renditions of timeless songs highlight Dinah's versatility as a top notch performer; and this album also showcases André Previn's singular ability to use the piano to convey every emotion of every number faultlessly. They made a wise choice to tone down the rest of the musical arrangements. Dinah and André didn't need too much help!
"The Man I Love" starts the CD with Dinah cooing; this makes an auspicious beginning for this song set! André plays piano perfectly; his presence is clear but in his own way he shares the spotlight with Dinah and neither one of them ever drowns out the other. "April In Paris" shines like silver and gold when Dinah Shore sings this with André Previn at the piano. Dinah and André truly complement each other's artistry to perfection! Dinah's excellent diction made her a superior singer; she stood out from the "celebrities" that too often crowded just any old stage somewhere.
"That Old Feeling" gets the royal treatment and a slow tempo to make this a most romantic number; I always liked this tune and "That Old Feeling" has Dinah never sounding better! André plays wonderfully and the percussion adds even more elegance to this timeless love song. "That Old Feeling" is a major highlight of this album. "My Melancholy Baby" features Dinah and André continuing to make some very special magic; Dinah and André shared their incredible sense of timing to tweak this ballad just a bit in order to put their own stamp on it--very creative! In addition, I really like "My Funny Valentine;" "My Funny Valentine" has been done by many artists but when Dinah and Previn perform it they make it sound fresh, beautiful and even intoxicating.
"It Had To Be You" is absolutely lovely; and there's another hit when Dinah and André perform "I'll Be Seeing You" with passion. "I'll Be Seeing You" charms me every time I hear it; I think Dinah captures a certain extra something that enables her version of this song to sound better than almost all of the other versions I've heard.
We also get four bonus tracks that were not on the original 1959 record album--great! "Like Someone In Love" boasts a fine arrangement; and there's another hit when they perform "Stars Fell On Alabama." "Stars Fell On Alabama" doesn't have the exact same sound as the first eleven tracks from the record album but it's a charmer. "While We're Young" highlights the importance of living life to its fullest while we are able to do so; this shall always be true.
I don't think that Dinah Shore is remembered the way she really should be for her contributions to the arts; but hopefully with CDs like this one more people will become interested in her artistry. Dinah Shore proved again her talent as a superb chanteuse with this album; and André Previn's piano playing never ceases to amaze me because it always sounds so sensitive and emotional without being syrupy. I highly recommend this album for fans of Dinah Shore and André Previn; and people who like classic pop vocals with a jazzy, creative twist will enjoy this very much as well.
