CD ReviewsClass at the mike, Class at the keyboard W. Hooper | Duluth, GA United States | 10/17/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Andre Previn is a master at bringing out the absolute best in vocalists. He teamed with Kiri TeKanawa and produced the masterpiece "Crossroads". In 1959, he teamed with Dinah Shore and again triumphed with this classic. Each ballad brings out Dinah's tenderness, sincerity and voice quality. Andre's song selection, like Crossroads, is spectacular. No heavy brassy orchestration, voice-overs, track swapping here......just Dinah, a piano, base, and guitar. The recording session clarity is also marvelous. If you have never heard Dinah Shore--the vocalist-----you are in for a wonderful treat........... " Enchanting David Saemann | 06/02/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you are familiar with Dinah Shore's hits of the 1940's on RCA and Columbia, this album may come as a surprise. Dinah Shore the band singer here is replaced by Dinah the jazz inspired song stylist. As Previn says in his liner notes, she is "a gas." Some of the numbers are accompanied by piano only, the rest adding a subtle bass and drums. Throughout, Dinah is extremely communicative, with superb technique that preserves a beautiful tone even at the softest volumes. It won't make you throw out your Billie Holiday records, but it is tremendously engaging nevertheless. Previn's playing, especially on the 11 tracks of the original LP, is highly persuasive, justifying his ranking as one of the top jazz artists of that era. He is brilliant at framing the entirety of a song, with a stong sense of its structure and high points. Dinah writes in her album notes that she would almost forget to come in from enjoying Previn's work, and one is tempted to believe her. The four bonus tracks are enjoyable, but the strongest work is on the original album. The sound engineering for the most part is excellent, a tribute to the marvels CD restorers are capable of nowadays. I would recommend this album to all Dinah Shore fans, of whom I am one, and also to the jazz afficianado who enjoys this period and is looking for something a little different." Smooth and Warm Connoisseur | St. Petersburg, FL USA | 01/10/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "With just a piano to accompany her, the voice America loved shows all its warmth. Dinah's phrasing is suberb and this is a great collection of ever-popular songs."
