Description

|
|
|
The handsome and virile John Raitt was the male lead in the original productions of Carousel and The Pajama Game. Besides the stellar Broadway numbers, he performs a Christmas medley with Metropolitan Opera star Risë Stevens. "His singing is timeless. He possessed a glorious voice, a high baritone with a golden, tenor-like color. His singing seems effortless—simple, direct, gorgeous in sound and phrasing…. Some of the songs are classics, others much less so, but he turns them all to gold. Among the highlights are 'Lucky to Be Me' (Bernstein), 'Evelina' (Arlen) and a heavenly 'All the Things You Are' (Kern). Raitt probably lost count of the number of times he sang Billy's great 'Soliloquy.'… He still sets the standard for this near-operatic scene, here capped by a ringing high B-flat!"—Opera News
