5.0 out of 5 stars A truely spectacular album for almost any record collection., 4 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This album is brimming with famous names singing songs you are probably at least vaguely aware of; you just didn't associate some of those singers with those sort of songs before. Chris DeBurgh's rendition of 'Do what you do' is one of the most romantic and sentimental tracks of the decade. The sheer power of Lisa Stansfield's 'They can't take that away from me' or Cher's 'It Aint Necessarily So' might even make you want to buy a better stereo, but the best is yet to come! Kate Bush singing 'The Man I love', Meatloaf singing 'Somebody Loves Me', and Courtney Pine singing 'Summertime'. On some of the tracks you instantly recognise the singer because of their distinctive voice e.g. Elvis Costello, but others are so far out of their usual context you will end up looking at the sleeve to see who it is. The quality of sound recording is absolutely tip-top as you would expect of 1994 professional studio recordings. It follows that combined with the extraordinary artistic talents involved (both singers and musicians), this may well be the ultimate Gershwin recording. I wasn't a Gershwin fan at all until I heard it. Someone nicked my first copy - so I'm ordering another one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meatloaf sings Gershwin !, 16 Sep 2007
This album is extremely enjoyable and contains some of the greatest music and best loved songs of the 20th Century. These are fine sensitive performances by well known artists. I can't add anything to the previous reviews except my endorsement - highly recommended, nuff said.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious, definitely, 28 Jun 2004
By A Customer
If you love Gershwin you'll love this. The most unexpected people singing some glorious songs, I love Meatloaf, but never thought I would hear my favourite singer singing my favourite composer. Sinead O'Connor, Elvis Costello the list goes on. The songs are classics & the singers do them justice. If you don't have any Gershwin CDs get this one.
