Essential Albums
- Barbra Streisand’s 1985 return to her Great White Way roots gives the storied singer a chance to show off her prowess and versatility. While much of The Broadway Album is made up of works by Stephen Sondheim—who added Babs-tailored lyrics to the luminous ballad “Send in the Clowns” and the frenetic “Putting It Together”, and whose co-write “Somewhere” quickly became one of Streisand’s standards—her vampy version of the sneeze-afflicted “Adelaide’s Lament” (from Frank Loesser’s Guys and Dolls) shows off the belter’s keen comedic instincts.

- Throughout the ‘60s, Barbra Streisand established herself as a keen interpreter of pop standards. On 1971’s Stoney End, she takes on the moment’s most formidable songwriters, imbuing Joni Mitchell’s “I Don’t Know Where I Stand” with regret and longing and giving Gordon Lightfoot’s “If You Could Read My Mind” a country-cabaret edge. Laura Nyro’s spirited title track and exuberant “Time and Love” split the difference between Broadway flash and rock muscle, giving Streisand ample room to flaunt her vocal prowess while diving into contemporary pop.
