Customer Reviews

For a romantic evening
The mature Dinah Shore meets the young Andre Previn, with delightful results. Miss Shore had a wonderfully expressive voice, and a technique an opera singer might envy. Previn is featured both as pianist and arranger/conductor: I like his rather classical approach to jazz piano, especially when he accompanies a singer, as he does superbly here.

Although recorded in 1960, the songs are all from the 30s and 40s and the mood is nostalgic. Dinah sings 'April in Paris' (including the rarely heard verse) with a real springtime freshness, as if she had never heard the Count Basie version, and she gives classic performances of 'My Funny Valentine' and 'I'll be Seeing You' with cool, restrained backings from Previn at the piano.

Highly recommended to those who love the great romantic songs, performed romantically. If you like this CD you will enjoy young Sylvia McNair's albums with Previn, much older and playing better than ever. Vice versa, if you like Sylvia you should check out Dinah.

another 5 stars for previn
it seems that when you give a rating of 5 stars the accolade could start to lose its meaning. i wish i could give this album 6 stars instead.

for fans of previn this is worth the money. he proves himself yet again as a fine accompaniest to shore, whose voice is in great form. those familiar with the lovely previn/doris day album "duet" will be relieved to note that the choice of songs is similar - a couple of well-known classics by the old masters (gershwin/gershwin, rodgers/hart, cole porter) with some not so familiar songs that you will soon grow to love. i'm personally more fond of the earlier half of the album, which more has a more nightclubby feel to it, consisting mostly of shore and previn on the piano, this as opposed to the second half which is shore accompanied by orchestral arrangements. nonetheless, a fine overall album, worthy of a five star rating.

Great singer, Previn rocks but songs dire.
If you like mushy, sentimental boring 'standards sung at a slow pace by a great singer, wriiten by the over-rated so-called masters , then you might enjoy this.

For music lovers especially those seeking some originality, I suggest you look elsewhere.

However, audio quality of CD excellent as usual from EMI.

Previn rocks but the orchestra on the rest of the CD is a disgrace with superflous strings etc.
