Liza Minnelli at Carnegie Hall (The Complete Concert) (CD)

A true showbiz kid as the daughter of Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli, Liza Minnelli was clearly born to entertain. In 1972, though she had already won a Tony award and been nominated for an Oscar, Liza truly became a household name via her role in the film version of CABARET. Throughout her career, she was always a stalwart representative of the Great American Songbook, which most singers of her generation had long since discarded. She also continued her memorable film career, with the likes of NEW YORK, NEW YORK and ARTHUR, and remained a stage presence as well.

Old songs, new songs, and big production numbers. Audience-filled seats of a concert hall with a formidable history, and one spotlight. Who else but Liza Minnelli could sing, talk and dance in these conditions, and make it seem as if nothing could be more natural? The daughter of entertainer/legend Judy Garland and musical film director Vincent Minnelli, if anyone is at home on a stage, it's Minnelli.

This CD of her historic performances at Carnegie Hall is filled with variety. The performer's emotional shadings vary from her soft intonation on "How Deep Is the Ocean" to the conversational good humor and carnival spirit of "Ring Them Bells." But she shines brightest when she takes the Ebb and Kander compositions like "Maybe This Time" and "Cabaret" and belts them with a fervor that tugs at the listener's heartstrings.
