AUDRA McDONALD : Build A Bridge - Audio CD pristine condition unplayed NEW

Description: A NEW, UNPLAYED COPY OF THE CD BUILD A BRIDGE / AUDRA McDONALDThe jewel case is in a cardboard cover -- album was never shrink wrapped -- has had a long life on attic shelf.Her voice is flawless. Her strength, tone, vibrato, emotion... it's all pure ecstasy. Audra McDonald has already established herself as one of Broadway's leading artists. Whether it be her performance in Ragtime of the powerful "Daddy's Hands" or one of her beautiful albums such as "Way Back to Paradise" I have always enjoyed listening to Ms. McDonald as she fully engages a piece of music to make it a memorable experience.This cd is no exception as she presents us with an eclectic array of music. She covers her Broadway roots with pieces by Adam Guettel and Ricky Ian Gordon, spreads into some older work from Laura Nyro and even explores pop by delving into John Mayer and Rufus Wainwright. She does a beautiful job of making each piece her own.That said I should give you a warning. If you are strongly attached to any previous recordings of any of the pieces I am going to reiturate: she makes each piece her own. My sister is a big fan of John Mayer and didn't like the way that Ms. McDonald explored the piece. My father upon listening to both interpretations back to back wouldn't have thought that it was the same piece of music.I would highly suggest making the investment in this cd. There is beautiful vocal work and her conviction to each piece is moving. As a music student I look to it as an example of putting yourself into the music. Once again, I warn that if you are particular to Victoria Clark's rendition of "Dividing Day" or Bette Midler's performance of "I think it's gonna rain today" (or Kermit's "Bein' Green") be well aware that Ms. McDonald is not a rubber stamp and that is what keeps bringing me back to her.
