Amazon.com Barbara Cook is the epitome of the cabaret diva. A star on Broadway from the '50s through to the '70s (she still owns the role of Marian the Librarian in The Music Man), Cook continues to sing the tunes of the Great White Way--her venues are just a tad more intimate these days. This live performance at the Café Carlyle in New York should more than please her legion of fans. Cook's tribute to Gower Champion is filled with great music and fond memories of the Broadway director and choreographer. From "Before the Parade Passes By" from Hello, Dolly!, Cook's lovely soprano voice segues into tunes from Annie Get Your Gun ("I Got the Sun in the Morning," "I Got Lost in His Arms"), Carnival ("Her Face"), The Fantasticks ("They Were You"), and more. With perfect piano arrangements by Wally Harper (who accompanied Cook on her prior album, All I Ask of You), this is a delightful disc. --Jason Verlinde Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBarbara Returns to Broadway (No, The Other Barbara!) Bill S. | New York, N.Y. | 06/25/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Another CD of Barbara Cook's that we can rave over! However, this one is different in many repects. On "The Champion Season..." we get a rare glimpse of Barbara's joy in celebrating Broadway musicals that can only be captured on a live recording. Her other live CD's are gorgeously sung but this one is exhuberant and full of fun and whimsy. Here Barbara lets her voice soar in music she clearly adores. She engages all our emotions in this heartfelt and fitting tribute to a very talented man-Gower Champion. A particular favorite track of mine is (#10), I Got Lost in His Arms/Time Heals Everything). This CD is the next best thing to seeing Barbara live! A precious gem of a recording!" She?s only wonderful Bill S. | 11/18/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Barbara Cook is one of the marvels of our present world - her voice, feeling, rhythm, intonation, everything is perfect. On this live disc, which captures some of her between song talking, we also get to hear her delightful reminiscences of Gower Champion. Her talking voice and what she has to say are as beautiful and expressive as her singing, so that on repeated listening, one never tires of the talking. The songs are a mix of well known and not so well known, all sung beautifully with the always perfect accompaniment of Wally Harper. Theirs is truly a musical match made in heaven. While all the songs are lovely, I have to single out "They Were You", a gorgeous song which has never been sung more beautifully. Miss Cook never ceases to be a revelation. If you ever have a chance to see her and Wally Harper at the Carlyle, drop everything else you had planned and go to see them. You won't ever forget it."
