My opinion still holds - Barbara Cook's voice only improves with age. This album is a must-have and a true delight because we get to hear Ms. Cook as the original Cunegonde, who worked with Leonard Bernstein as he was composing the famous "Glitter and Be Gay." We hear her lovely coloraturia mellow over the years into the warm, rich, pure sound of today. Best yet, we are treated to simply Barabara Cook! What more can a person ask?
Although in he mid-80's, Barbara Cook continues to sing well, perhaps better than ever in some ways. Any Cook fan must have this unusual (for her) recording.
