BERNADETTE PETERS LOVES RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Musical theater superstar Bernadette Peters is not new to the concept of albums devoted to a classic songwriter; her previous recording consisted almost entirely of Sondheim material. So while it's not a great shock that Peters should take on a disc full of Rodgers & Hammerstein songs, the way she approaches these evergreen tunes is nonetheless intriguing. Though she's been known as one of the premier Broadway divas since the '60s, she avoids the cliches usually associated with such status. For instance, she doesn't clobber "It Might As Well Be Spring" with phony emotion, she embraces it fondly with a personal, intimate style. Even when facing down one of Broadway's most bombastic tunes, CAROUSEL's "You'll Never Walk Alone," Peters maintains her cool, emitting just enough emotion to get the song across without crossing over into bathos. Jonathan Tunick's tasteful arrangements match her every step of the way, making for a perfect marriage of voice and orchestration.
