Taiwanese pressing. After 8 studio albums, Dreamer in Concert is the first album that captures Stacey's magical onstage persona. From the stage of La Cigale, she delivers fresh interpretations of some of the most emblematic songs in her repertoire, including the standards of the Great American Songbook, the Best Is Yet to Come, They Can't Take That Away from Me, It Might As Well Be Spring and others. She also revisits the classic French songs, Ces Petits Riens, Samba Saravah and Jardin d'Hiver. The repertoire also includes 4 previously unrecorded selections; 2 from Antônio Carlos Jobim, Waters of March and Dreamer, and 2 new compositions by her husband, saxophonist and the album's producer, Jim Tomlinson; Postcard Lovers, with lyrics by the novelist, Kazuo Ishiguro (author of Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go) and O Comboio, penned by the Portuguese poet, Antonio Ladeira, which Stacey sings, beautifully, in Portuguese. Indeed so sublimely does she sing in Portuguese, that Kent, who is fast becoming a major star in Brazil, is one of just two American artists (the other is James Taylor) invited to perform at the 80th birthday celebrations of Rio's world famous landmark, Cristo O Redentor, on October 12th when over a million people will gather on Copacabana Beach.
