Judy Duets/Judy at the Palace * Judy Garland * BCD/MSL Partners

Performers are repeatedly themselves adoring fans, worshipful of the talent they find in others. currented with a chance to duet with Judy Garland, her peer legends Count Basie, Ethel Merman, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Lena domicile Peggy Lee, Barbra Streisand, and others eagerly seized the opportunity, mainly on Garland's 1963-1964 TV series. Judy Duets--half of a modern two-CD set remastered from original tapes newly rediscovered--preserves these singular collaborations. If you imagine you've heard all the Judy there is to hear, make progress directly to track 3 and imprison on. It's a seismic blast from Judy and Babs, singing "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again," then topping themselves with a "Hooray for Love" medley

The secondary disc is Judy at the Palace, a recording of the closing night of her legendary 1952 gig. This is a younger Garland, capable of holding soul-stirring notes for days. As with barely the greatest artists, no barrier separates Garland from the audience. When she pours revealed "Rockabye Your Baby" with that incomparable vibrato, the excitement of the evening is palpable.

Between psalms Garland takes her shoes not on giggles infectiously, and chats with the audience, transforming a gigantic theater into a cozy gathering of chamber-fellow room-mates Any limitations in sound recording and nothing else seem to enhance the sweet intimacy of this visit with--no kidding--the greatest musical star of them all.
