The Broadway I Love - Placido Domingo
Placido Domingo's blazing tenor enriches these traditional Broadway show  stoppers, supported by mammoth orchestrations in perfect balance and enhanced by  his trademark musicianship and intelligence. In "All I Ask Of You," he  excitingly explodes like a bursting water balloon. His duet with Carly Simon  ("Last Night of the World") works in an intergalactic way--music makers from  separate planets can successfully collaborate. In "Send In the Clowns," we are  reminded of the tune's prettiness; while others find a poignantly delicate  moment, Domingo's personal revelation is the size of Mt. Olympus. And why not?  He is a god of song. An exception is made for "Our Love is Here to Stay," winner  of the most-likely-to-appear-in-an-elevator award. Overall, a dazzling music  experience.--Barbara Eisner Bayer
