Query: Where it is Good it is Very Good, But...

I was hauling this CD off to trade it in. Listening to it in the car, I realized just couldn't part with it. My biggest complaint is that many of the new arrangements of the old Berlin/Bennett tunes are too "eager to please." Why? Invasive orchestrations. The Bad: a horrid Sinatra-style swing arrangement of "Defenses Are Down." (Berlin was NOT a swing composer, no matter when this show originally premiered.) The Bad: Bernadette Peters' 2 big ballands really drag. The Good: there's a lot, actually. All of the country tunes are spirited and charming. Peters has more fun with dipthongs than any singer ever. And, the bottom line is that the Annie and Frank relationship comes across in this recording. All in all, an historically important recording which reflects intelligently on Merman's legacy.
