Wow! Barbra you certainly made this song alive like no one else has,the movie one touch of Venus was to me a smash,like Ava Gardner,you have added that sexy voice that belongs to my genre from back then and now with no-one else but you.carry on barbra,you swing. from an aussie.
@unclealand - I agree with you. Her voice is still terrific, even after all these years, but the musical arrangement is nowhere near up to the quality of her early recordings.
Barbra Streisand is the only one that I like to hear sing this song other than Dick Haymes in ONE TOUCH OF VENUS...which is one of my favorite scenes of the movie.
Great version of a great song... Barbra, the tenor sax man and the rest of the orchestra totally rule this masterpiece...10 out of 10 on the "goose bumps" meter!!
@DrVivianBell Actually.... I enjoyed a number of versions of Speak Low, (Sarah Vaughan's) and namely Weill's himself. Streisand exposed the song to millions of listeners who perhaps never heard the song, and no doubt enhanced the estate of the Weill family.
It would be a very dull world indeed if we all had the same taste.
Actually, I prefer her version to Billie Holiday`s.

Streisand should have done this song ten or fifteen years earlier and with real jazz musicians instead of the vanilla slop here.

There is nothing wrong with the song. Kurt Weill sings it beautifully. So do a few others.. I just don't include Barbra in the mix, that's all.

This is a great arrangement of a breezy, jazzy song. Ms. Streisand's control is impeccable as always. Thanks for this post.

This sounds like bad Smooth Jazz radio.
Babs overworks yet another song, here demolishing a gorgeous melody by a master.
Shhhheeeeeesh.
DrVivianBell 1 year ago
@DrVivianBell I disagree, this is an updated version which breathes new life into the song. Demolishing the melody?
I hardly think so...

@stellartunes
Hahahaha, as if this Weill masterpiece needs Babs to "breathe new life into it" (i.e., demolish the melody).
I hardly think so ...

sorry - bararas voice is NOT made for such a powerfull song, judys so much better. barbara haven ot the tune for great strong numbers. my opinion

Tremendously and gifted the voice of Barbara Streisand is and we are so privileged to have lived heard her sing. Such a beautiful melody.
Her phrasing is a must for any singer who wants to imitate such exquisite first class taste.
Farflenkempt Barbara ( ala SNL)
p.s. please check out Esther Ofarim, a jewish singer like Barbara who had the gift of song also but from a different generation.

a lot better than Judy Garland's version.
So jmuch closer to the soul of the song.
I know they're a lot of Judy fans who will be rilled up..... but this is the better recording. Carademuneca.
