To say it with Barbra's words. The soundtrack tells the story of the film and emotionalize "Yentl" with Barbra Streisand in the lead role (also directed and produced). The story revolves around a Jewish woman in 1800 who wants to study theology, although the women is prohibited. She disguises herself as a boy and studied, then falls in love but in a man and gets into an identity conflict. Due to the subject matter, there are also echoes of traditional Jewish religious songs in the music, even a set with a prayer, a ("Papa, can you hear me"). With their beautiful lyrical, expressive lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, a large orchestra and a brilliant Streisand This is a CD that will appeal to even people who have nothing else to do with Barbra Streisand or the easy listening category. It suggests rather a bridge between classical music and chanson as well as the film is not a musical, but "a film with music". Although excerpts from movie discussions emerge in some songs, the music you can certainly also listen without knowing the film. It tells the story of a woman who wants more than the company allows her the first adapts, but then breaks out and finds itself. The courage of the personality is expressed, the CD makes always worth listening to.
