CHRISTINE ANDREAS
"TWO FOR THE ROAD"
A 'Well Traveled' Musical Recollection
Featuring
Martin Silvestri
At the Piano
For almost 20 years, Christine Andreas and her husband, composer Martin Silvestri have effortlessly 'shifted gears' from Musical Theater to Cabaret to Concert Halls to the Recording Studio. TWO FOR THE ROAD is a personal 'scrapbook' of musical souvenirs and memories collected along the way. Working hand in hand, Mr. Silvestri's intelligent, empathetic arrangements guide Ms. Andreas' beautiful and distinctive renditions of the American Songbook, Broadway Gems and Original Compositions. This musical marriage results in a performance that has solicited raves from audiences and critics worldwide.
"Although Ms. Andreas can be witty and playful, it is on the ballads in which she delicately kills with the sheer beauty of her voice."
New York Times, Stephen Holden
"Christine Andreas is a class act. You will not see a greater female talent here or on any other world stage. Superbly supported and joined by her husband, accompanist and happy guardian, Marty Silvestri, Andreas proves by her unforgettable presence that she has reached the pinnacle of the art form."
The Sunday Mail, Matt Byrne – Sydney, Australia
"Her versions were… completely new readings of the songs of Berlin, Gershwin, Weill, Kern and Rogers and Hammerstein, each one superbly arranged and beautifully played by her accompanist, Martin Silvestri, himself a noted Broadway composer. It was an evening of pure cabaret magic".
Stu Hamstra's Cabaret Hotline - Australia
"…a vocalist with a distinct natural bent toward the individualized interpretations and the buoyant sense of rhythmic swing associated with the jazz vocal art….. she has every reason to feel at home in any jazz club she chooses to grace with her mesmerizing musical presence."
Los Angeles Times, Don Heckman
