Free Music Notes for Patti Lupone at Les Mouches
Free Music Review: If you like Patti.....
Hit: 4 Stars
A very good, relaxed Patti. The mix of songs were good. I'm a big Patti Lupone fan, so it's hard not to like it.Free Music Review: I'll Always Walk That Extra Mile To See Her Perform
Hit: 3 Stars
As many reviewers have stated here, I too am a huge Patti Lupone fan. I've seen her in Evita and Gypsy and I can not even begin to describe how extraordinary her performances were. I also had the pleasure of seeing her perform at Lincoln Center in a one night engagement for Equity Fights AIDS about three years ago. This was an opportunity for Patti to showcase her "Lady With A Torch" album with the same musicians she recorded that fantastic record with. What an evening that was! Yes, if you ask me Patti the singer has no peer. And Patti the artist is Rembrandt, Da Vinci and Renior all rolled into one.
"Patti Lupone at Les Mouches" is a sort of behind the scenes glimpse at a fledgling artist assending torward her zenith. It is a rare opportunity to witness a young star performing live "without a net" and with anything but state of the art recording equipment. Kudos to Patti for a daring attempt to pull this off, with such a high degree of difficulty. Unfortunately, the results are spotty at best. To begin with the material does not suit her voice. The familiar standards, I Got Rhythm, Love For Sale, Meadowlark and Not While I'm Around and of course her always wonderful Don't Cry For Me Argentina are all rendered with her usual self assured bravado. But Heven Is A Disco and the contemporary pop material, Downtown, Because The Night, Superman and Mr. Tambourine Man all sound forced, amateurish and I'm afriad to say downright embarassing.
Why, I wonder did she choose to release this work at this point in her career. With recent triumphs in Sweeney Todd and Gypsy Patti truely has nothing left to prove. Perhaps her fans can see or hear no wrong in anything she does. And, as fanatic admirers they clamor for even second rate material like this. I'm sorry, I know I'll catch a lot of flack from her faithful, but I just don't get it. I love everything Patti Lupone has done on Broadway. I can't say enough about her "Lady With A Torch" album and I can listen to "Matters Of The Heart" all day long. Live At Les Mouches dosen't do it for me. But that still dosen't change my admiration and respect for Ms. Lupone. She's still the best dammed singer in the world as far as I'm concerned and I'll always walk that extra mile to see her perform.
Free Music Review: Insufferable and indistinct
Hit: 2 Stars
I'm a huge fan of Patti LuPone, and but this CD of her legendary Les Mouches concert is unbearable. It's basically a live recording Patti made way back when she was starring in Evita. The sound quality isn't very good, because it was apparently never meant for commercial release, but that's not really the problem here. What makes the CD virtually unlistenable is (1) Patti's notoriously bad diction, and (2) her insufferable, self-satisfied demeanor. Her diction has unquestionably gotten better over the years, and her career ups and downs have instilled at least a feigned modicum of humility. But, unless you're jonesing for a Patti fix, I'd say give this recording a wide berth.Free Music Review: Just Awful
Hit: 1 Stars
I think that afer a few drinks, this show would be a riot as a LIVE performance. But the CD doesn't hold up to the the cold, sober light of day. Maybe it would be a fun souvenir of a great time out with friends, but even then..... Mm, no. She just really belts out the songs with a great amount of enthusiasm and absolutely noooo vocal finesse. I just don't know what else to say. I checked it out at the library and couldn't stop laughing. It's horrendous. Oh, man.Free Music Review: someone trying to make a buck
Hit: 1 Stars
The sound quality is poor. The singing is shrill. The selections are sometimes obscure. I threw away the money on this disc and will never play it again. There must be someone in my family I can pawn it off on as a white elephant gift this Christmas.
