One Night Only - Barbra Streisand and Quartet at Village Vanguard

G :-

'One Night Only - Barbra Streisand and Quartet at Village Vanguard' was recorded on September 26, 2009 and is one of the most celebrated concert performances of recent years. The one-time only event, witnessed by little more than one hundred lottery-selected Barbra Streisand fans is available on this DVD.

'One Night Only' covers the entire experience of Ms. Streisand's first cabaret performance in 48 years. The extraordinary event coincided with release of her Number One charting album 'Love is the Answer', which became the 51st Gold Record for the legendary singer who also has 30 Platinum. That top-of-the-charts launch for the leading album-selling female recording artist of all time (as noted by the RIAA) extended to five her record number of consecutive decades with a #1 charting.

Ms. Streisand topped the DVD charts for three weeks in 2009, reigning for that period at number one with her three disc 'Streisand - The Concerts'. Her two disc Director's Extended Edition of 'Yentl' was one of the top motion picture DVD offerings of last year.

An absorbing dream-come-true you-are-there high definition audio-visual document of Streisand's first cabaret performance in 48 years, 'One Night Only' immerses the home viewer in a tiny West Village nightclub, privy to the best sight lines and sound imaginable, to share an exclusive and intimate evening that prompted the New York Times to marvel, "Concerts by Ms. Streisand are rare, but the scale of Saturday's show was exceptional enough to briefly upend the natural social order of celebrity events.... Ms. Streisand was booked for one night at the Vanguard - legal capacity 123, absurdly small for an artist who has sold over 71 million albums in the United States alone.... But outnumbering the boldface names were two busloads of ticket-lottery winners, ordinary fans from around the world. Some said they had never been able to afford a Streisand ticket before, but on this night they rubbed elbows with Oscar winners, The Secretary Of State and a former president...."

The DVD includes a bonus feature on the club and its legendary owner, Lorraine Gordon.
