Heidi Brühl is certainly not the best Annie Oakley, which can be found on CD - Ethel Merman more power, Bernadette Peters more nuances - Brühl is still highly entertaining and yet adorable on their inclusion. Of this little is felt here. The song selection is "what would sing Ronnie Milsap?". Of the 12 songs on the CD are written 7 by Andrew Lloyd Webber, only one of them - "I'll never be alone," the German version of "Anything but Lonely" from "Aspects of Love" - is not a standard material. These songs come from "A Chorus Line", "Les Miserables" and "West Side Story" and other surprise, "You're on your own" from "Freudiana". Not one of these songs invite you to smile. Certainly, the CD was recorded at a time as you liked and was rather unhappily in the musical. But if you can go back to the way "West Side Story", would you also as "fight the man" from "Kiss me Kate" can take into the program. Also "Frank Mills" from "Hair" could well suit Brühl or something from "The Sound of Music". Brühl speaks to me in principle to more than Milster because they do not normally ascends distancing their pathos. For Milsap has however much more to offer vocally so Brühl character would rather have sung songs. Therefore, the CD is unfortunately extremely dispensable.
