Title: Short But Sweet
Review: I would have given this album five stars but damn, the songs are short and the album as a whole clocks in at 30:31. The shortness of this album echos the complaints of "Barry Sings Sinatra, " the songs are beautifully arranged and sung in full voice but if you are going to contract a full orchestra and sub contract a recording studio, take advantage of both elements, please!!A longer version of "My Favorite Things" would have been enjoyable, not that it isn't now; I would have liked more of Rogers and Hammerstein meeting West Side Story. When all is said and done, this cd swings and the absence of religious carols is reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald's "Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas."
Is the review positive or negative?
