CD Reviews

Amazing album returns...

W. Alexander | 01/02/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Long lost and thankfully finally (well, in 2006) reissued on CD, this only American recording by Esther Ofarim is brilliant. Unfortunately, as was the case with the original LP in 1965, it is once again overlooked in the U.S. (although that is understandable since it is only an import CD... and an expensive one at that).

Consisting mostly of American showtunes and standards, it is a departure for Ofarim... and a thrilling CD. With soaring arrangements by Bobby Scott, it is not only a departure for her, it is a peak.

The title song of the original LP, "Is It Really Me" is the definitive version of a long-overlooked beautifully pensive ballad from the Broadway show "110 in the Shade" which with its recent revival at the Roundabout in New York deserves another listen.

The other songs are equally impressive. Buy this CD - it is the very top in female singing - and comparable to the impact of early Streisand in her first several albums."
