The five spectacular DVDs contained in this boxed set speak volumes about vision and integrity, fearless instinct, and a passion for discovery. If you think you remember these specials from watching them when they first aired, you'll be astonished how time has only enhanced their vitality. If you're seeing them for the first time, you'll be stunned at the sheer amount of affection, imagination, and energy that went into the creation of each program.
My Name Is Barbra (1965) Filmed in glorious black-and-white, Barbra's first television special in 1965 is a classic in every sense of the word. Reviewers waxed ecstatic with praise. Winner of five Emmy Awards and the prestigious Peabody Award for Distinguished Achievement in Television.
Color Me Barbra (1966) Fresh from the overwhelming triumph My Name Is Barbra, CBS network executives requested a follow-up special. It is a show-business axiom that sequels generally fail to live up to the original, but in the case of Color Me Barbra, the odds were most assuredly beaten by a wide margin. Filmed in spectacular color, this companion piece to her first special is one for the ages. The vibrant colors become a metaphor for imagination, inventiveness, fantasy, and sheer brilliance. Considered by many to be a "bookend" to My Name Is Barbra - Color Me Barbra is in every way the equal of its predecessor.
The Belle of 14th Street (1967) Barbra is the "top-billed act" in this affectionate tribute to turn of the century vaudeville. No detail was too small for this lovingly re-created world of a bygone era. Her first television special to feature guest-stars, The Belle of 14th Street celebrates, in ways both comedic and heartfelt, "The Golden Age of Song." A marvelous showcase for such evergreens as Sophie Tucker's "Some Of These Days," "How About Me" (written by "a new young talent" Irving Berlin), the poignant "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows," and the sublime "My Buddy" - all classics of the vaudeville era, reinvented by "the greatest star" of our time.
Barbra Streisand: A Happening In Central Park (1968) On the evening of June 17, 1967, Barbra Streisand and 150,000 of the "luckiest people in the world" gathered together in Central Park's massive Sheep's Meadow for a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor concert event. If New York were a kingdom, Barbra was its reigning queen. It was the most attended concert event of its time. Barbra turns the historic park into her own "backyard" as she performs signature hits like "He Touched Me," "People," "Second Hand Rose," and "Happy Days Are Here Again." An extraordinary evening with an audience... the star they came to see... under an open sky in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable.
Barbra Streisand... and Other Musical Instruments (1973) A multicultural musical potpourri, Barbra's fifth television spectacular is her most adventurous. Performing a startling array of new songs and classic hits, with genre-bending arrangements, Barbra Streisand... and Other Musical Instruments is a feast for the eyes and ears. Starring the ultimate "musical instrument," Barbra Streisand, together with over 150 musicians playing everything from the traditional violins, cellos, flutes, and oboes... to the more exotic kabuki woodblock, sitar, Chippewa tom-tom, sewing machine... saw... orange-juice squeezer, and washing machine. Featuring the timeless duet of "Crying Time" with "Genius of Soul" Ray Charles. |
