 Barbara Cook, 'nuf said January 6, 2009
It's Barbara Cook, probably the best female singer of this generation. Forget her age. If she's lost a step, you'd hardly notice. Her delivery, especially accenting the lyrics, in unmatchable. A total joy.
 Still singing... January 5, 2009
Yes,it is the case that Ms. Cook still carries a tune, but the voice exhibits a remarkable decline in range and timbre. I can accept that. This CD, on the other hand, is rather static. There is no real excitment in the range of songs or in the emotions they portray. In short, it's not a CD that's a keeper.
Like fine wine..... January 3, 2009

Ms. Cook simply gets better with age. While I'm sure she still misses her beloved Wally Harper, her long-time music director, her new collaboration with Mr. Musiker (perfect name!) is every bit as wonderful to listen to.
At an age where most women's voices simply lose it, Ms. Cook, in her 70s, has developed a warmth and silkiness to her sound. There are places when one can still here the young coloratura soprano in her 20s behind the more sultry and inviting tones of the current Barbara Cook.
I have been privileged to attend two of her concerts in the last several years, each one a true delight. On this CD, she holds nothing back. She puts it on the line and lets her light shine.
If you've never experienced Barbara Cook, then you must buy this CD. If Ms. Cook is one of your favorites, then you will not need my urging to buy this.
Sit back, relax, and be prepared for some fine listening.
PS: This amazing lady moves with the times, exploring the music of new composers and doing their work justice. Her work spans generations and closes the gap.
A must have! November 15, 2008

Still sounding wonderful, after all these years. The booklet also contains some of the most beautiful photos of this beautiful lady. A great selection of songs
Hallelujah, I Love Barbara So. November 12, 2008

I am paraphrasing a song included on this CD, written by Ray Charles and sung by Barbara Cook. Also on this disc are many songs that I heard her sing at her Chicago Ravinia Concert, July 2008.
At 80, Cook is an ageless, national treasure who brings emotions and inner meanings to each song that she sings. Her phrasing, tempo and selections are SO incredible ... that old songs become NEW experiences with Barbara's insightful vision.
This is a great addition to her recorded discography ..so don't wait until next Christmas to bring joy to your world!
