Album Description

"This is no drag show ... it is damn near art!" -- Time Out New York

"A bewitching and barbed musical comedy takeoff on the American institution known as Streisand. Brinberg's falsetto is remarkable. The man has a good deal of the woman's vocal chops. He's a helluva funny lady." -- London Times

"He is hilarious ... an amazing singer ... portrays her with such love and respect ... she should send him roses daily." -- Village Voice

"Almost as luminous as Streisand herself--a remarkably fluid voice--a star of cult status has been born." -- Sydney Morning Herald

Of great interest to Barbra Streisand fans! This internationally acclaimed actor, lauded for his portrayal of Barbra Streisand, is currently on tour with Marvin Hamlisch. Features duets with Broadway stars Hugh Panaro (Lestat, Phantom, Les Miz, Side Show), Betsy Joslyn (Sweeney Todd), Karen Mason (Mamma Mia, Sunset Blvd), Heather MacRae (Falsettos), KT Sullivan (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), and more. Features the legendary Kaye Ballard from TV's The Mothers In-Law and Broadway's The Golden Apple and Carnival! MAC and BISTRO Award winner.

Two, two divas in one. . . .......2007-04-22

An immaculately produced recording. Brinberg is not "just" a mimic; he is an artist who interprets the tones and phrasing of the "real" Ms. Streisand thereby making it a unique and musically charming performance.

It also helps to work with all of those talented ladies and gent.

Definitely worth a purchase and a look at Brinberg while he is on tour at prices I assume a little cheaper than the "real" diva.

Some of the best--live.......2004-04-21

Hard to believe there are no other reviews of this CD collection. It includes some of Holly Near (and others') classic women's music, some of it modified, some recorded live. If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing Holly perform (or maybe particularly if you haven't), this CD set is like sitting at a concert with your eyes closed. Really a great set.

A rather presumptive holiday title, Simply the Best Christmas Album is an unqualified best--if you like classical, choral, and symphonic music. Marquee talent such as Placido Domingo, Natalie Cole, and Jose Carreras anchor the mix, abetted by the redoubtable London Brass, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Edward Higgenbottom & The Choir of New College, Oxford, and the Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra. This two-disc, 36-piece set presents a broad spectrum of holiday pageantry that embraces familiar traditional works like The Nutcracker and more contemporary pieces from Sumi Jo and Linda Eder. From triumphant brass and angelic choirs to stirring string pieces and rich, lovely orchestral movements, Simply the Best sets an exquisitely festive mood. --Martin Keller

Customer Reviews:

Joyous surprises!.......2006-06-01

Every once in awhile I run across an album that excells, not because of the shining brilliance of one artist, but because of the collective impact of several. Here, in this album, are some little-known gems from Christmas music literature. I was captivated by the lilting and primitive joy in "Jesus, the Light of the World," which I had never heard before. Then there is Chanticleer and its rendition of Charles Ives' "Christmas Carol," a classic too little known. There are others. If you look for unique renditions of familiar and unfamiliar Christmas music to enhance the joy of the season, this album is a must-buy.

Simply the Best..........2002-11-19

The minute I heard Thomas Hampson sing the first few notes of Adeste Fideles, I knew I had to have this album. It is a marvelous compilation of Classical Christmas favorites (excerpts from the Bach, Vivaldi and Corelli Christmas Concertos and The Nutcracker) and standard Christmas favorites, as well as some of the lesser heard Christmas gems.

The vocal power on this 2 CD set is amazing as well--Broadway star Linda Eder, Thomas Hampson, Kiri Te Kanawa, Jose Carreras, Chanticleer, and numerous others. I usually purchase one Christmas CD a year. This was it for me this year--make it part of your holiday collection.

A Superb Embodiment of a Star.......2007-07-16

I've seen Steven Brinberg perform his "Simply Barbra" act in person. This CD nicely captures the intimacy of his cabaret act. More than just an impersonator, Brinberg virtually channels Streisand from her mannerisms to the way she slips into Brooklynese to her ability to hold an audience spellbound. What's more, he has a great sense of humor, which makes his performances so much fun. And his impressions of other divas, such as Carol Channing, are dead-on accurate. His performance never falls into outright camp. He has too much class to let this happen. There are colors to Brinberg's show that mark him as a true showman. And Streisand fans need not worry. This is a reverential show. Brinberg doesn't take cheap shots at Streisand's expense. Great CD!

Astonishing!!!!.......2004-07-19

All I have to say is that when I first got this CD, my mother came into the room and thought I was listening to the REAL BARBRA!!! Take that for what you will, and order this CD without delay! It's worth every penny!!!

A funny girl (well, sort of a girl. . . ).......2001-10-09

Funny, sassy, and fine.

Simply Barbra is a hoot no matter whether or not you like the 'real' Barbra.

Brinberg is flawless in his musical and 'straight' delivery of patter from the world of Barbra Joan Streisand.

The enthusiasm of the studio audience is infectious especially during "Sing", "The Pioneer Album", and Barbra's outside projects.

Steven as "Simply Barbra" is the best! ...........2000-08-12

Even Marvin Hamlisch (with whom Steven will soon have performed twice!) raves about Steven's uncanny ability to accurately impersonate Barbra Streisand! I have the privilege of being Steven's friend and soon to be brother-in-law, and so I get an inside view of the man and his show. He is truly an amazing talent! Many people may not realize that Steven does not lip-sync his performances, but actually accurately performs an amazing impression of Barbra in his own voice! The album is terrific, and captures much of the nuance of the live performance, but believe me, check Steven's web site for his tour schedule and catch him live! It's a performance you'll both enjoy and talk about for some time to come!

Simply Brilliant.......2000-03-24

I must confess to one enormous advantage - I have seen the show. That said, I had listened to the disc beforehand and was amazed at the tonal likeness to the other (much more expensive in person) Barbra. At times, it's hard to disbelieve - such songs as "Evergreen" and "People" are delivered with all the clarity and feeling that makes you fell you really are listening to Barbra singing. At other times, especially during monologues, you realise that this is not quite the real Mrs James Brolin. These are word's we've longed to hear from Barbra - funny, even bitchy but always affectionate. "The Pioneer Album" is an eight minute "preview" of an album that has been 17 years in the making and isn't "perfect yet". Here's a medley of songs Barbra always sings, and some she never would... honestly, you just have to hear it. Likewise, the amazing rendition of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers". Brinberg doesn't attempt to impersonate Barbra Streisand - he "channels" her. If that sounds "Nuts", you better get ready to change the way you listen! Complaints? Well, there are some visuals that the audience loved and you'll have to guess. It would have been better as a DVD, but then so would a lot of live albums. If you love Barbra Streisand, take away the orchestra (just a piano will do), take away the schmaltzy monos and use chutzpah, and enjoy Simply Barbra.

if you like country mysic that means something this is the one to buy.

Country As It Should Be.......2003-06-16

Simply Traditional by Leland Martin is one if not the best i've heard in a long time. Traditional Country is the best if there was more than 5 stars rating it would get my vote. Thanks Leland for allowing me to hear some good country music, this is the best.

A Gifted Singer/ Songwriter. Leland is a Rising Star.......2002-12-08

After hearing several Leland Martin's songs on the radio I searched Amazon to see just who this unfamiliar singer was. His voice Is Country Music at its best. Leland Martin is Cash, Haggard and Jones, Vern Gosdin, Randy Travis,Johnny Horton, Keith Whitley, Alan Jackson,Travis Tritt, John Anderson, Aaron Tippin, and Mark Chestnut all bundled up - but original. I bought "Simply Traditional" on the faith of two songs heard on the airwaves. I found 15 outstanding performances. Good Luck Leland.

Great country music.......2002-11-22

This album is country music as it should be. You'll enjoy listening to this one over and over, Leland deserves to be a big star. The country radio station in Santa Barbara county really likes his music too.

Traditional Country Music Fans, Rise and Cheer !!.......2002-11-09

Can country music be traditional and fresh at the same time? It can, and is on this great CD. I bought this album after hearing "If I Had Long Legs Like Alan Jackson" on a local radio station. I would have been delighted if the whole CD was as good as that one song. However, I was STUNNED by the fact that every song on the album is better than the first single.

The other(count'em)14 tracks are well written, beautifully produced, and border on being anthems for those of us who prefer our country with some heritage. "Don't Ya Think" says what I have wanted to say for years...If we forget those who gave birth to country music, we will all suffer in the end. "Luckiest Man In The World", "Simply Traditional", and "More Than Friends" will have you buying extra copies to send to those you love, and the trucker's song "Stone Cold Fingers" will be in every big rig in America. Freddie's Heart (a duet with Freddie (Easy Lovin') Hart is the coolest return cameo performance I've heard in years - warning:he's still got "it".

But, what makes this album truly GREAT is Leland himself. WHAT A VOICE!! He sounds hautingly familiar, yet somehow unique. He never misses a note, he never falters in his unique phrasing, and never fails to delight your ears or your heart. This is an ESSENTIAL country CD. If I had the money, I would buy several dozen copies and send one to the head of every record company in Nashville.

This is the music I've been waiting for them to release. If you are tired of listening to paper-cut-out-video-dolls, and want to hear a REAL artist sing REAL country, then you will LOVE this CD as much as I do.
