Judy At Carnegie Hall, a Grammy winning double album, recorded in April 1961 by the legendary singer and film star Judy Garland, is considered to be one of the greatest ever live recordings. (US:1 UK:13)
“I can certainly see why so many consider this the best of them all. How many can approach the exciting, immediate thrill this album provides? The wild cheers and repeated demands of encores from the audience are something to hear. The orchestra is brilliantly led by the dynamic direction of Mort Lindsay. And as for Judy, what can you say? She probably never was in better voice or in better control of her voice, her songs, perhaps even herself, than she was that night; there are marches, uptempo numbers, ballads, even a little jazz and blues. It is flawless from beginning to end; she nails every single song.” ,p> “If I were told that I would be forced to live out my days on a desert island, and I could take only one album with me, it would be Judy At Carnegie Hall. This is the best album ever recorded. Judy is at her absolute zenith in this concert.”
“Musically she seems to have been at her peak. She's backed by a big band with strings, and the crowd is lively. The fast songs are solid, but it's the slow numbers that really shine. The sparse instrumentation allows the strength and expressiveness of her voice to be heard. This may be the best representation of Judy Garland's powerful stage and vocal presence on record. Every version of her songs on this performance beats the original.”
“Possibly the greatest live album by a popular singer of the last century. From the moment she opens you know that she never sounded better. Judy is flawless, the orchestra is amazing, the music selection is perfect. They're all fantastic. When will there ever be another talent like this?"
