The Essential Barbra Streisand. This album is nothing short of amazing! It showcases Steisands uncanny ability to sing such beautifully melodic wide ranging tunes throughout her career of over 40 years with the delicate crispness of her early vocals. Her voice is like a finely tuned instrument that never misses a note and plays with its whole heart portraying emotions that are often indescribable with the English language. There is just something about her voice that wraps its self around you and touches you so deeply that you have got to let it in. It is I guess elation that she makes you feel listening to her. If you have never listened to Barbra sing this is a great album to buy because you get a sample of all she can do. I guarantee if you listen to it you will know why she has the reputation of being the greatest female singer in the world today and still holding. I've been hooked on her ever since I was 9 hearing her voice on the school bus radio singing people when she was only about 20 years old. I did not know who she was but I knew her voice was the most beautiful I had ever heard and I have never been affected by anyone’s voice like hers in my life since.

Simply The Best. This is the greatest album ever! I suggest that you buy every song. Barbra has the greatest voice of our time.

Bravissimo!. This collection is nothing short of remarkable! Truly Barbra's best work!

The essential Barbra. HELLO GAWJUS!!!!!

People. Amazing, awesome, inspirational. I love this.

A Mostly Great Collection. The other reviews are so over-the-top that I thought I needed to weigh in. This is yet another collection of Streisand songs: She has had so many greatest hits albums and such ( "Memories", "A Collection...And More", "Just For the Record") that the devoted fan has reason to be weary. There is nothing here most fans don't already own, but for someone that wants a great primer on Streisand, this is a pretty good start. The compilation is in chronological order, and the older stuff is just amazing. The passion, the range, the acting in each song is just mind-blowing. The seventies and early eighties songs are when Streisand was at her commercial peak, and you probably know the big hits. The last worthwhile songs here ("Putting It Together" through "Somewhere") are from The Broadway Album, a semi-masterpiece that hasn't aged quite as well as expected. Somehow it sounds dated now, though the vocals are superb. But the best song from that album, "If I Loved You", is sadly missing. The nineties were not good years for Streisand, her voice, or her fans, and the rest of the compilation reflects that. My suggestion would be to purchase 1 -32 as a great collection from a most remarkable vocalist.

The Greatest. There is no other better than She!

Fantastic. I love you Barbara. Smooch!

One Word.... EVERGREEN

I get it now. So this is who Rachel Berry from glee looks up to I finally found her wow I thought she was gonna b blonde

Quality. This album is an excellent one because the quality is great and you can really hear barbra on every song. she's not drowned out by the music like some of the other recordings. I got to this album intending to buy The Way We Were and Don't Rain on My Parade and ended up buying the whole thing. an excellent addition to any fan's library--even if you've got some of the songs already, this album is a must because of the great quality and track balance.

Bobby Bee. Quite possibly The Greatest female Singer of Our Time (along with Aretha Franklin), not above or below but neck & neck!!

The Essential Barbra Streisand. This album covers all her best and then some! She does give you 40 songs, however 18 of them are repeats. I guess she felt she’d give us the original 18 and then the 2nd album where she added 4 more songs for the deluxe version. At any rate every last song is Barbra singing at her best! One just can’t ask for anymore. I really didn’t need to buy this album because I had all the original albums (in vinyl) they came from in the first place, but at the time we didn’t have the capabilities of putting everything together like we do today. Do I regret buying it, not at all. In fact because my husband and I lost the instructions and we got too hectic to look very hard for them, i was unable to use my second turntable that is made to transfer one’s albums to CD’s. So, I downloaded from iTunes the same album to stream on my iPad and iPhone! Anyway, everyone that I have played this album for can’t get over how much of a great selection of songs I have by Barbra, if they only knew. Great album especially for those of you that are newbies to Barbra’s music and her wonderful instrument. Buy & enjoy!

Great album!. Clearly one of the greatest voices of many generations. My favorite song on this album is Since I fell for you. It gives me shivers up my spine when I hear it. Great jazz vocal-please sing more like this Babs.

I'm Afraid to buy this album.... I don't know if I can handle the emotional highs and lows all in one sitting. Heh.

Best Vocal Album of The Our Time!!!. As you all know Barbra Streisand is an astounding actress, singer, and director. And to give her music such harsh reviews and to only let 'Somewhere' get the highest score is TOTALY absurd. Her writing is fantastic and her voice is of an angel. The reviews that have percentages are completely and totally out of tune. The Essentials will give you all the emotions the music can give. Barbra Streisand is a absolute legend with best music around. This album will show true and classy music of our late and early time.

Highly Disappointed!. I adore Barbara's music. Her voice is phenomenal and this collection is amazing. Unfortunately, I spent money for only half an album. The other half won't download! I keep receiving messages that the song is not available in my country. Seriously? I'm American. These songs were recorded in the USA. Oh, and I was charged twice for one song--which I still can't get--when I tried hitting the download button. Basically, it's a ripoff. I'm sure it would be spectacular if I could get ALL the songs I paid for, though, especially the ones from musicals (like Children Will Listen from Into the Woods). 😒😒😒
