Bernadette Peters Loves Rodgers & Hammerstein Reviews
10 of 11 people found the following review helpful I Don't Get It!!!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Bernadette Peters Loves Rodgers & Hammerstein (Audio CD) I just couldn't wait for this CD to be released and now I can't share all the enthusiasm I read about. I am highly disappointed because I consider it one of the most boring collections in years. There isn't one song in there that I haven't heard the original recording artist do better.

BP oozes fun and frivolity in some of the cheeky numbers like The Gentleman is a dope and Mr Snow. Her guts and emotions are so intact for the performances of these songs here, that she sounds like she's in character on stage!! Only without the usual distractions of a live stage recording. Although at times, her voice is too forwardly placed, but it works as I listen to it again and again. She is right here on stage in my home!! Brilliant! Miss Peters' rendition and choice of There is nothing like a Dame is rather audacious but appropriate. Do listen to this and enjoy what she is trying to say.... a howling, glaring, gutsy...
