LIZA MINNELLI
For those of you who were unable to attend Liza Minnelli's recent Broadway "comeback" (personally, "I hate that word"), Minnelli on Minnelli, you can enjoy the experience via the live recording of her performance on the new Angel Records release, "Minnelli on Minnelli." Now in stores, the single disc captures the excitement of Minnelli's solo performance, which features both song and the spoken work. Highlights of the recording include a slowed-down, silky reading of "Baubles, Bangles & Beads"; a belty, emotional version of "What Did I Have That I Don't Have?"; the comical "I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore," which features new lyrics by the show's director, Fred Ebb; and a duet with her late mother, the legendary Judy Garland, in Meet Me in St. Louis's "The Trolley Song."
