One of
Barbra Streisand
's more esoteric projects,
Classical Barbra
is an album of European art songs composed by
Debussy
,
Handel
Schumann
, and others and sung in French, German, Latin, Italian, and English.
Streisand
is in typically good voice, and while the album must have been a stretch for her usual audience and a surprise to the
classical
audience, she carries the performances off. ~ William Ruhlmann
