(5 out of 5 stars) A version of the Triple Concerto with Yo-Yo Ma as the Solo Cellist would be irresistible - and it is! This live recording from the Berlin Philharmonie is really stunning: the three soloists seem to talk, support and challenge each other through the 35-minute piece with the support of the Beethoven Orchestra . Yo-Yo Ma is the youngest out of the three soloists, but he is more than able to get up to the job of being the leader, as the cellist is in this concerto(Barenboim played the Triple Concerto many times in the late 60 s and early 70 s with Pinchas Zukerman and Jacqueline du Pre - I would love to listen to a recording, if such a thing exists, of a live concert).

Re-Release Date: 11/24/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) Barry reaches pinnacle form with If I Should Love Again. Schmaltzy? Forget it. The title track alone is worth the price of admission. Incredible production and arrangments. If I Should Love Again, swelling and lush, is Barry s best single tune and most romantic album. I m so glad to see it s on CD finally!
Beautiful Music (5 out of 5 stars) This is the album for those of us who love Barry as a musician as much as we love him as a singer. Many times we tend to forget that Manilow is first, and foremost, an arranger and musician and those talents shine through on this album. Songs such as I Haven t Changed the Room, Let s Take All Night to Say Goodbye, and the title track are masterfully done and showcase his musical talents!I would highly recommend this for any Ma
