5.0 out of 5 stars Includes one of the greatest recordings ever made, May 4 2003

Ce commentaire est de: The Judy Garland Show (DVD)

The entire series is wonderful and this is the highlight. The Garland/Streisand duet of Happy Days and Get Happy is simply the BEST DUET EVER RECORDED. Actually probably not a duet, mostly each singing one of the songs at the same time (I forget what that is called). It is musical heaven. Hate to bruise the diva's ego, but Streisand's voice was never better than the very early stuff. She is still one of the greats, but her voice did not age well. If you ever wondered why the fuss over Babs, one listen to this and you will understand. Her "Down With Love" is brillant, and the section with the two trading thier biggest hits is like seeing two of the great wonders of the world at the same time. Even if your not usually into this type of thing, this is must for any music lover.

It is always nice to see a "sacred monster" at her peak introducing another in the making. Garland made it when singing was "for real", and put her seal of approval here to a very young Streisand. The best moment: Garland, Streisand and... Ethel Merman. They don't come like those anymore

Ce commentaire est de: The Judy Garland Show (DVD)

Judy Garland never really appealed to me. I heard all the fanfare and as a child sat dutifully through The Wizard Of Oz but the mystique that is called "Judy" was always lost on me, until I saw this DVD.

An avid Streisand fan, I have seen bits and clips of her duet with Garland (audio: For The Record; video: Timeless). But it wasn't until I watched the entire show that I realized what a multi-talented professional both women are.

First let's get technical. The DVD has been remastered with superior sound and fantastic picture. It's in black and white but it oddly seems appropriate.

Now the performers. Judy comes across as a down to earth gal who just happens to be able to sing. It isn't until she almost shocks you by reaching for the highest of notes (and holding it) that you realize just how well deserved all the accolades about her are.

And Barbra? Raw, eager and anxious and she matches Judy note for note. Whether she's singing "Down With Love", bantering a bit nervously with Ethel Merman (who makes a surprise appearance here) or singing the duets of all time with Judy, she is a marvel. Historical Note: Barbra was new to show business and television was still in its infancy. Her appearance on The Judy Garland Show gained her an Emmy nomination in a category that was created just to cite how good she was).

So, get this DVD. You'll see not one but two legends who truly deserve that title.

This is a great DVD...(given the time period in which the orig was made). A collectors requirement!
I also HIGHLY recommend Judy Garland at the Palladium (1964).
