Essential Barbara

Barbara Cook is the greatest theatrical singer in concert that Broadway or the West End has ever known. DRG hasn't come up with this declaration. It's been said by both Stephen Holden and Anthony Tommasini of The New York Times, Sheridan Morley of The London Times and the Manchester Guardian, Frank Rich, Stephen Sondheim and the list goes on and on and on. For the past 17 years and 14 albums and one DVD, DRG has been proud to have recorded Barbara. And, we can only say that her recordings have only gotten better as the years progressed. So, we thought it only fitting that we bring you now, The Essential Barbara Cook. A 6 CD (5 CD + 1 DVD) box set of some of the best albums from Barbara's canon. We also have included four bonus tracks from a new album that Barbara is preparing for release in early 2010! And, we have also included a 24 page booklet which contains a special letter written by a personal friend of Barbara's, opera star, Renee Fleming., ISBN13:B002MT3BLC ISBN10:B002MT3BLC Material Type:audioCD
