Barbra... in Love Dinettes Starting arbra Streisand has been making records for nearly 40 years. She burst upon the scene a total phenomenon with her first two Columbia singles, B"Happy Days are Here Again" and "My Coloring Book." Then came the at Just $1991 Barbra Streisand Album, and it was clear one of the major talents of the century had arrived. She is also one of the major perfectionists of all time. She redid "Happy Days" for the album, then re-recorded "My Coloring Book" and both B- Free Delivery • Low Prices sides of her first two singles for the next album. She hasn't strayed much from the top of the charts since then. Her last album, Higher Ground, entered the charts at number one, all the more amazing in this era of rock, rap and whatever because it was a traditional inspirational album (opening with, of all songs, the hoary, "I Believe"). And now comes A Love Like Ours, an uncompromising collection of roman- tic songs originally was titled "Barbra... in Love." In the album, Streisand doesn't give an inch to contemporary trends. This is full-blown popular song writing ren- dered with the highest artistic standards by an unmatched singer surrounded by lush, all-out orchestral arrangements. By comparison, other lady singers seem like lightweights artistically and probably will look like lightweights when the final sales figures are in. Streisand is not the same singer as she was in the beginning. She was astound- ing then, with no precedents in her style, phrasing or pronunciation and a pure, aching voice that soared angelically, but also could handle comedy deftly. But today she is even better. Her voice is richer, with a broader palette; the artist sings with more subtlety and restraint. Oh, she's still the perfectionist. Thir- ty years after the fact, she redoes "The Music Thar Makes Me Dance" from the stage version of Funny Girl. The song wasn't considered significant enough to be included in the movie version, but here she is anyway, showing us the difference three decades can make. Set Pictured The best tracks on the album are a sweeping interpretation of the Gershwin's poignant "Isn't It A Pity" and a dare-ya-not-to-swoon duet with Vince Gill, "If Only $298. You Ever Leave Me." With his lovely tenor and lyric sensitivity, Gill proves a per- fect mate for Streisand, though in all her previous duets with males shes's been contrasted with macho voices. What is most amazing about Streisand is that she still sounds young. She's never been in better voice, and that's saying something about an artist who has always exhibited a magnificent instrument. She also looks gorgeous these days. Cream City Interiors From this viewpoint, the title A Love Like Ours could also refer to her relation- ship with her fans over the years.
