Ms. Cook's music has been in my musical life for years, as are Audra McDonald and the then newcomer, Josh Groban. They all have the voices, musical selections and arrangements to compliment them. I particularly enjoy this album because of the many Stephen Sondheim songs; I'm a devoted fan. I never tire of listening to "Losing My Mind" and "Not A Day Goes By." Heart wrenching. All in all, incredible talent for an incredible price. eBay's my "go to" for just about everything.

Barbara Cook has been an icon in American Muscal Theater for years, whose voice ranges from the operatic (the original Cunegonde in Berstein's "Candide") to the more typical Broadway sound (Sondheim, etc.). This latest album combines the best of all possible worlds. Ms. Cook is well into her seventies and has the voice that most younger people envy. Her singing is not contrived. Her stylistic abilities have continued to grow over time. Why did I buy this album? First - because of Barbara Cook herself. Secondly, the selections. Ms. Cook has nothing to prove and shows not only her vocal strength, but her graciousness in sharing the stage with Audra MacDonald and Josh Groban. Her duets with these two younger rising stars are beautifully done, with an excellent vocal blend. Finally, while Ms. Cook has spent her career singing the standards, she is not afraid to embrace the new and sang a song by the American composer, John Bucchino, someone whose music deserves to be heard and to be performed by the best of the best. Ms. Cook did not disappoint. And yes - I did see her in concert about 3 years ago. She was wonderful then and is wonderful now! Buy this disc. You won't be sorry!Read full review
