Free Music Notes for Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2
Free Music Review: good--as far as it goes, that is (three and 1/2 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 is a good CD that is just too short to be called any type of "greatest hits" album. Even when taken together with Volume 1 of Barbra Streisand's greatest hits this CD is still way too short. That disappoints me. However, what we do get is very good quality throughout; and the sound quality is excellent. I like that artwork, too!
The CD starts with the love theme from Barbra Streisand's remake of the classic movie entitled A Star Is Born. Barbra sings "Evergreen" with passion and she never sounded better. Her excellent diction and her uncanny sense of timing helps to make her singing all the better! Barbra also handles tempo and key modulations as if it were as natural as breathing. Of course, we know that it really isn't so easy to do this; Streisand had so much talent when she performed that she could make anything look easy! There's also the love theme from Eyes Of Laura Mars; Barbra sings this with great sensitivity and passion. Barbra's performance of the theme from Eyes Of Laura Mars truly is a great highlight of this album--even if the album is too short!
"My Heart Belongs To Me" stuns me with its beauty and this features Barbra squarely front and center--and that's all right by me! Barbra really opens up her ability to belt out a song as she sings "My Heart Belongs To Me;" and Streisand fans are bound to love this tune. In addition, Barbra does a wonderful job on "You Don't Bring Me Flowers;" this duet showcases Barbra's ability to handle a complicated duet with panache and sensitivity. I love it!
"The Way We Were" comes from the movie of the same name; this is perhaps my very favorite of Barbra's songs. "The Way We Were" has several sound effects that they used in the `70s but it still holds its own very well. "The Way We Were" is a classic ballad that is easily a major highlight of both this album and of Streisand's career.
"All In Love Is Fair" is a song I first heard when Stevie Wonder sang it; but Barbra's version is quite stunning. The strings are used to great advantage and Barbra belts this number out flawlessly. It's quite impressive. Listen also for Barbra on "Stoney End;" this great ballad ends the CD with a solid hit that still sounds fresh and new every time I hear it. Great!
Barbra Streisand is definitely one of the greatest female vocalists of the entire twentieth century. Her talents brought her much success and this CD proves just how wonderfully she could deliver a ballad. Unfortunately, I must take off one and ? stars for this CD being just too short. Ouch!
