It's tough to make a live album sound like more than scraps when you use songs you didn't include on the last live album. But the trembling majesty of Tony-winner Bernadette Peters--at her best a heart and voice in aching synchronicity--will stifle any cries of "Filler!" Despite the title, this time fewer than half the songs are Sondheim's, but they include a touching "Children Will Listen" and a lovely "(They Ask Me Why) I Believe in You." The rest is a more erratic compilation of styles, but her talent binds it all together: giving graceful muscle to Webber's "Unexpected Song," singing "We're in the Money" in pig latin, and delivering "If You Were the Only Boy" as if she were rocking us all into bed, her phrasing like a cloud on which to dream.
