Bennett is in full command of his art bringing his trademark intelligence, zest, and emotional intimacy to the beautiful Rodgers and Hart songs.
Bennett's voice has aged well. His vocal range is as broad as ever, and he has no problems negotiating the inventive, intricate Rodgers melodies. Bennett infuses Hart's bittersweet, poetic lyrics with a seasoned worldliness which is quite touching.
So treat yourself by listening to the prodigious music of Richard Rodgers; the wise, often heartbreaking lyrics of Lorenz Hart; and the magnificent vocals of an artist in his prime, Tony Bennett. You'll be pleased that you did!
