The results are, at best, uneven.
The results are, at best, uneven.
Appealingly literate lyrics, yet they manage to be diverse.
An enjoyable and valuable addition to the Sondheim discography.
Spangler shines on a series of artfully sung songs that demonstrate her committed artistry.
Ebersole’s warm tone, pristine pitch, crisp diction, and smart interpretation, coupled with Lawrence Yurman’s delicious jazz-of-today arrangements, deliver a recording that should be in the collection of any fan of vocal jazz.
Zollman has a crisp, clean vocal quality that eschews histrionics and gets to the heart of each song in a pure, unfettered style.
A romantic singer whose shimmering voice is worthy of more attention.
Mary Foster Conklin has a voice that unfurls like a wide roll of satin ribbon.
Berk's interpretive skills make the song and the CD special. Her strength has always been in finding the inner meanings of a lyric and subtly bringing them to life.
This recording is definitely celebratory.
