At the Waldorf Astoria/At the Sands (Audio CD),02 April, 2002
List price $16.97 Enchanting / 5 This is one of the Lena Horne recordings that make me wish I WAS Lena Horne. I don't usually enjoy live recordings but this album is perfect. She is very crisp and clear through the whole album. The audience creates a very curious atmosphere on the album- there are a few instances where the audience is laughing at Lena and something she is gesturing... but I think just the audio alone makes the listener outside of the joke. In this album she is sassy and quirky- and I think these tracks give a little more insight into Lena's personality than the other non live recordings I have. Vocally she is very rich and obviously in her prime- she sings many standards but of course the one and only Lena Makes them her own! This is the number one Lena Album in my collection!
