Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In celebration of his 80th birthday, Tony Bennett performs 18 of his hits and favorite numbers with famous duet partners including Sting, Bono, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, and Tim McGraw -- all live in the studio with the master.

About the Artist

At this point, who else but Tony Bennett would have the clout to round up stars on the scale of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Bono, Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand for some duets? (Note also that unlike some similar projects, all the parties involved on this CD were alive when it was recorded!) The material consists of relatively obvious classics in standard big-band arrangements, and Bennett himself is in top form at age 80, so much so that he doesn't need anybody else to handle "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." But the fun comes from checking out how his collaborators fare. The Dixie Chicks provide wonderful Andrews Sisterstype harmonies on the percolating version of "Lullaby of Broadway" that opens the festivities. The best songs tend to be the ones where Bennett's slightly craggy voice is juxtaposed to smooth female ones, like Diana Krall on "The Best Is Yet to Come," familiar accomplice k.d. lang on the sultry "Because of You" and Streisand-perhaps Bennett's only equal in stature at this pointon "Smile." Among the less expected guests, soulman John Legend is a revelation on the hard-swinging "Sing, You Sinners," while George Michael confirms hes quite the crooner on "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" Elvis Costello, Celine Dion or Juanes don't sound as comfortable, and sometimes it feels as if they overdo it to compensate, but overall this collection is among the best of its kind, with most guests rising to the occasion. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Watch the DVD, then rate the album

PBS ran the tape of the making of Duets and gave me a whole new perspective on the CD. I now can visualize each song as I listen, and it has enhanced my enjoyment of the best tracks while making ones I thought were not as good much more in line with the Bennett tradition of "telling the story" of each song. He gets inside the music and lives there with such ease.

There is nobody who can blend with Bennett's voice better than k.d. lang - except Diana Krull, James Taylor, Tim McGraw or, well, most of the other people chosen to sing with him.

This record is joyful and not enhanced, as one reviewer suggested. Hearing/seeing how Bennett works with lyrics and other performers still amazes me. I've been a fan since his first recording - there was nothing like a Bennett song for setting the mood.

What a great disc! Not only wonderful Tony, but some other great singers, as well. I listen to it in my car and then bring it in at home so I can listen some more. I fell in love with Tony Bennett in 1953 - even wrote him love letters. I was 13 and was thrilled when I received a signed glossy 8x10 photo from him. I belonged to his fan club. His "Rags to Riches" was on the radio a lot, and I had a little 45 player in my room to spin his records on. What a thrill to fall in love with him all over again in my old age! This album is a keeper. My favorite is his duet with Stevie Wonder, whose timing and sound are excellent. I wish there was a whole album of them together. Same with Diana Krall. Buy it. You won't be sorry.

There's something about a man who's had a remarkable career, still wowing his audiences and melting hearts with that voice. Love the fact that he shares the spotlight and makes the end product sound like two people who truly love one another.

Wonderful selection of standards sung by Tony Bennett and a well-chosen lineup of collaborators with REAL voices. Bennett wisely gives his younger partners space and time to cover the highest and lowest notes, but is right there with the harmony throughout. You gotta love this guy at any age.

The idea of pairing Tony Bennett with singers from outside his time and style turned out to be pure genius. Look at the list of singers on this album and ask yourself if you would imagine Tony singing with them. Probably not, right? Well, it works, and that is putting it mildly. Tony stays true to his style and manages to draw out the others without them sounding phony or anything. The backup group is dynamite and the arrangements are authentic originals when possible. Just great.

Quite a new fan of Mr Bennett's and this did not disappoint. Had hoped the duet with Billy Joel of New York State of Mind might have been included, but nonetheless, an enjoyable cd.

It's The Phrasing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

Bennett hit the heights when he recorded with pianist Bill Evans, a collaboration that showed that he knows and loves his jazz. The voice may not be what it was then but it's still quite amazing for someone of ahem years. He's helped out by a few much younger pretenders but he outclasses them all because he knows exactly how to phrase a lyric. The worst that you can say about this is that it is excellent entertainment.
