In full command of a remarkable gift
by JeffersonB on 11/1/10Birchmere - AlexandriaElegance, wit, and poignancy, and at times just the right amount of sass are but a few of the dimensions of Barbara Cook's talent. You might expect someone whose career is so well established as Miss Cooks to sing the songs that made her famous,and perhaps expect some numbers to sound a little tired, but not this lady-- but she is working on new interpretations and new arrangements. That voice is just as remarkable, just as versatile, and eternally youthful, and nothing short of a national treasure.
