This is the long-awaited sequel to Streisand's 1985 release, THE BROADWAY ALBUM. Like its predecessor, BACK TO BROADWAY is a diverse collection of songs, ranging from the classic ("Luck Be A Lady" from GUYS AND DOLLS, "Some Enchanted Evening" from SOUTH PACIFIC) to the current (selections from SUNSET BOULEVARD). The album also features the kind of clever arrangements we've come to expect, and compelling vocal performances by Ms. Streisand. Stephen Sondheim is once again well represented. Streisand enthusiastically takes on "Everybody Says Don't," Sondheim's vigorous ode to individual will, clearly sensing a connection to her own beleaguered life and career. "Move On," the closing track, is a clever conflation of two songs from SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE that Sondheim put together at Streisand's request. Equally well represented is that other major force in contemporary musical theatre, Andrew Lloyd Webber. "The Music Of The Night" is performed here as a duet with the original Phantom, Michael Crawford, and Streisand offers breathtaking performances of "As If We Never Said Goodbye" and "With One Look." Other highlights include smoky renderings of Kurt Weill's "Speak Low" and the Gershwins' "The Man I Love." | Find errors in the product description?

Report this review Review created: 03/03/07 by: IF YOU ARE A BARBRA STREISAND AND BROADWAY FAN THIS CD IS DEFINATLY FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE, THEN LIKE I WAS, YOU WILL BE VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS COLLECTION OF BROADWAY HITS. BARBRA SINGS SONGS FROM WEST SIDE STORY, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA AND MANY MORE. SOME ARE DUETS WITH CHARACTERS FROM THE ORIGINAL CASTS. THIS IS ACTUALLY MY SECOND COPY OF THIS CD. I SCRATCHED THE OTHER FROM OVER USE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Back To Broadway - Barbra Streisand (CD 1993) Review ID: 10000000003066272 Was this review helpful? Report this review This is a great CD. Barbra is at her best. Back to Broadway is the CD to get. I love to hear her music and I think that most people enjoy hearing her sing. Review ID: 10000000002337539 Was this review helpful? Report this review One of the few female vocalists I have admired very much. Until recently I had not collected CD's nor DVD's but with eBay I can now build a small library that I can just sit back and relax with the memories of the past.
