Free Music Review: Worth the one song alone!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great collection of some of the most divine ladies of the screen and stage giving their talent to ALWs most memorable tunes.
The only song I would pass over is Betty Buckleys rendition of Memory-just horrid. The highlight of this cd is the rare gem of a song that is The Heart Is Slow To Learn, one of the most dramatic performances ever by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, this song was written for a proposed sequel to Phantom Of The Opera and is hard to find anywhere else. If you want this song without buying the (IMO) severly lacking ALW Now and Forever box set-this is your only option-and well worth it.
The Andrew Lloyd Webber Divas Poster
There is a Saying in Country Music that the Devil Has the Best Tunes. In the Musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber, It's the Diva. Occasionally a Male Character Or Chorus Has a Hit Song, but There is Something About the Lloyd Webber Compositional Style that Makes the Female Voice, Particularly the Soprano, the Natural Outlet for his Soaring Tunes. This Collection Provides 16 Excellent Examples of this Thesis. The Popular Favourite Songs and Performers Are all Included, Many Singing Different Songs Than Those for which They Are Famous, Bringing a Different Angle to this Compilation and Introducing People to Songs Or Singers that They May Not have Heard Before. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber was Involved in the Repertoire Choices and the Performers to Sing Them.This compilation of previously released material gathers the best-known tunes sung by women in Andrew Lloyd Webber's repertoire. Do all the singers here count as divas? A surprisingly high number certainly does. A few offer both outsize personality and outsize pipes: Betty Buckley ("Memory"), Patti LuPone ("Buenos Aires"), Barbra Streisand ("As If We Never Said Goodbye"). Some don't have as much name recognition but still offer blistering readings of famous songs (Yvonne Elliman's vintage version of "I Don't Know How to Love Him," from Jesus Christ Superstar). Others go for nuance, like Marti Webb and her lovely "Tell Me on a Sunday" or Barbara Dickson's "Another Suitcase in Another Hall." And then there are the ones who pull through on sheer bravado: Madonna and her vibrato-laden "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," Glenn Close's harsh "With One Look"--both of them making you long for La LuPone. (In which universe Minnie Driver counts as a diva is anybody's guess.) The overall track selection offers a fairly standard overview of Sir Andrew's career, though it does include Kiri Te Kanawa's "The Heart Is Slow to Learn," from the aborted sequel to Phantom. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
