Free Music Notes for Victoria Clark: Fifteen Seconds of GraceFree Music Review: Warm, golden brilliance! Hit: 5 StarsVictoria Clark is a vocal and musical goddess, and this cd only makes me want to hear more from her (beyond her brilliant performances on the LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA and the TITANIC cds). Some favorite moments here: the opening song, "How Can I Keep From Singing?"; "Thomas"; "Right As The Rain"; "The Red Dress"; the new Guettel song, "Life Is But a Dream"; and, despite the criticism of it from another reviewer here, "It Might Be You," which is actually a lovely song, polished to unexpected beauty by Miss Clark's rendition. If you love beautiful, intelligent and heartfelt singing along the lines of Barbara Cook, with humor and character in the right places and flawless technique put to the service of interpretation, of soulful art.
Free Music Review: TOUCHING ON AN ULTRA LEVEL Hit: 5 StarsAs a birthday treat to myself (I turn 50 Thursday), I went ahead and picked up the Victoria Clark CD entitled FIFTEEN SECONDS OF GRACE. OOOOOOOOHhhhhhh am I glad I did!
This is one terrific album, and I hope radio stations that cater to this type of music, like WHLI on Long Island, are giving it all the attention it deserves. Victoria mesmorized me three times during the run of "Light In The Piazza" at Lincoln Center. I was hoping she would do an album, and here it is. Great selection of songs. I've always loved the "Tootsie" theme, "It Might Be You", but Vicki's version is so wonderful, I have a new definitive version to enjoy. Each song seems like she's holding your hand and singing just to you on those ocean rocks where the photo shoot was done. Lots of great moments with "Thomas", "Departure", the classic "Something's Gotta Give" (so fast you think she'll fall over from lack of air). This is an album for just sitting and listening with a glass of wine, a nice coffee, fire place or feet up. You melt right in. Highly recommended.
Free Music Review: Amazing Talent Hit: 5 StarsWhat an amazing voice! What a treat to finally have a CD that reflects the talent and personality of this Broadway star. I also love "Light in the Piazza".... her Tony winning performance.
Free Music Review: Victoria Clark a world of Grace Hit: 5 StarsVictoria Clark fills each song with a spirit and emotion that uplifts and delights. The CD is filled with a delightful variety of songs and themes. I love this recording!!
Free Music Review: Remarkable debut CD Hit: 5 StarsI admired Victoria Clark greatly in "Light in the Piazza" and bought her first CD. It is a beautiful disk with each song a story in itself. Her beautiful voice, musicianship and intelligence shine through. I've played it many times over and each time hear something different. Wonderful disk.
