Produced by Barbra Streisand and Jay Landers, "Live In Concert 2006" is a breathtaking audio celebration of the artist's historic 2006 concert tour.
The tour, which broke the arena house record in every city on the itinerary, found Streisand branching out in new creative directions, reinterpreting some of her best-loved standards while revisiting some rarely performed musical treasures from her celebrated back-catalog. "Live In Concert 2006" includes songs the artist had rarely, if ever, performed live including "Unusual Way" (from the Broadway musical, "Nine") and such evergreens as "(Have I Stayed) Too Long At The Fair?", "Starting Here, Starting Now", and "Funny Girl".
Fifteen of the album's songs have never appeared previously on one of the artist's live albums with four of those -- "Carefully Taught", "Unusual Way", "A Cockeyed Optimist" and "My Shining Hour" -- making their appearance on "Live In Concert 2006"for the very first time on any Barbra Streisand recording.
"Live In Concert 2006” also debuts recordings of Streisand performing duet versions of "Evergreen," "The Music of the Night" and "Somewhere" with the multi-platinum-selling pop-operatic quartet Il Divo, who shared the stage as her special musical guests.
