Description:

An Oscar-winning '80s classic. Love Yentl: 40th Anniversary Edition" is a two-disc set that includes the Oscar-winning soundtrack album and a disc of previously unreleased tracks that have been languishing in the vaults for years. Disc 1 contains the original in its entirety, and the beautiful melody written by Legrand grabs the listener's heart and never lets go, further heightening the emotions that cannot be expressed in words alone. The lyrics, written by Mr. and Mrs. Bergman, convey the intelligence, humor, and passion of the main character, Yentl. And Barbra's vocal delivery of them is one of the most outstanding she has ever put on tape. Disc 2 contains a total of 15 songs, mostly demos that Barbra left behind at the time. Ten of the demos were recorded in Barbra's living room using a cassette deck, but they are not lacking in any way. With only Legrand's piano in the background, Barbra is truly a "natural Streisand," and her gentle, heartfelt vocals show how beautifully the lyrics and melodies are combined and how various emotions are layered on top of each other.
