Title: Actually, this version "Summertime" is the reason it's so perfect....
Review: I found the prior reviewer's comment that "Summertime wasn't meant to be a funeral dirge..." to be interesting, although I'm afraid I can't agree. Like all great works of art, the vision of its author can perhaps never be completely understood, so must be left to interpretation by others.And what an interpretation....this performance of Summertime has an atmospheric wistfulness which comforts and haunts like a sad lullaby, and brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it. It moves me like almost nothing I've ever heard, because I can feel the ache in her soul across the decades, as she sings it.
Is the review positive or negative?
