Product Description
Amazon.ca
Classy Christine Andreas fills her first solo album with pop standards such as "Fly Me to the Moon," "Song of Bernadette," and "And So It Goes," tastefully delivered in front of a full orchestra conducted by Harold Wheeler (who also provided the orchestrations) and produced and arranged by Martin Silvestri. Sharing a couple of duets is Joel Higgins, who also penned one of the numbers, "Harry's Dreams." Only twice does Andreas show her Broadway roots, in a South Pacific counterpoint duet with Higgins and, of course, the lilting "Storybook" from her starring role in The Scarlet Pimpernel (sung, as is the title tune, partly in French). No lyrics are included, but you do get a foldout version of Andreas's sepia-toned cover portrait, which is a good thing. --David Horiuchi

Christine Andreas Has One Of The Most Beautiful Voices Around, A Glorious Mix Of Barbra Streisand & Edith Piaf!! The Songs Are All Beautifully Sung & Arranged!! "Pirate" Is Spellbinding & Magical. "The Moon's A Harsh Mistress" Is One Of The Best Vesions I've Heard!!! This Cd Is A HIT!! I Can't Wait Till Her "Here's To The Ladies" Cd Is Released!!! A Fan For Life-David

Christine Andreas is a consumate perfomer with a distinctive voice that, beside simply being gorgeous to listen to, conveys an amazing range of emotion and truth. My favorite tracks on the album have to be "Love Is Good", sung partly in impeccable French with a romantic and classy Parisian bistro feel, and "Pirate", which evokes the gothic romances of the 19th C. and the timeless story of love lost. If you get the chance to see Christine perform live (in ANYTHING) you owe it to yourself to go. If not, buy the album and consider yourself lucky that this absolute treasure finally recorded an album.

This CD is pure joy. As I have never heard of her in the UK, I found this lady quite by accident during one of my many trawls through the delights of Amazon. The snippets I heard just blew me away and I had to have this CD. I can't stop it from rotating on my CD player, I just love it. When my mother recently visited, she too commented. Each time we went out, I had to put it in the car CD player so we could sing along (you don't have to imagine that - it is as painful as it sounds!).......so I did what any loving son would do and bought her a copy for her birthday. Christine's voice is crystal clear and the orchestrations are just perfect - not too intrusive as some orchestra's can be. All I need now is a handsome man to waltz me off my feet to the strains of the best song on the CD - Storybook!!
