Title: An Opera Star Singing Broadway Show Tunes?
Product review: That was my immediate reaction when I first found out about this CD. Overall I have to say that the CD is mediocre. I totally agree with the reviewer below that mentioned Sumi's usage of a breathy tone to express emotion. I just wish she would SING and get the notes out, she always seems to be holding back. I hate to say this, but I've heard better reditions of ALL of these songs. Lets face it, Sumi's does in no way have the "belting tone" necessary to sing these songs. Everyone who has heard Sumi Jo knows that. Go with the original broadway recordings for more powerful and expressive interpretations of these songs. Go with the "Sumi Jo Sings at Carnegie Hall" or "Bel Canto" CDs to hear more true to her form performaces by Sumi Jo
