I agree with every word, Kay! Do you have her latest? It is unbelievably great - two discs; one with orchestra, on with a quartet produced by Diana Krall.
You should check out Judi Dench's version of this too - it's on YouTube and iTunes - she doesn't have a technically brilliant voice, but acts songs so beautifully.
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
Nan, I love this song and to hear the great Barbra singing it. I would listen to that woman sing her grocery list. Lovely!!

Sunt Lacrimae Rerum, I'm so pleased you liked it.

ReplyDeleteStuck in a Book, I have, and it is so moving, so personal. Is there anything that woman can't do?!
