ONCE UPON A DREAM---JEKYLL & HYDE
ONCE UPON A DREAM---JEKYLL & HYDE
When it's all began,
We knew there'd be a price...
Once upon a dream,
I was lost in love's embrace.
Once upon a dream.
Once there was a time,
Like no other time before,
Once upon a dream.
And I was unafraid,
The dream was so exciting!
But now I see it fade...
And I am here alone!
Once upon a dream,
Was it just a dream?
Could we begin again!...
Once upon a dream.
琳达·埃德在美国歌坛的地位还没有抵达天皇级数，但她的实力却是公认的超一流。唱功之高超，歌路之宽广被认为是芭芭拉·史翠珊第二。琳达的歌声介平美声女高音与流行唱腔之间，最拿手的是百老汇舞台剧中的女主角，但其演绎的诸多爵士、民谣、流行甚至摇滚曲目亦有超常水准，且每张唱片几乎都由专属制作人frank wildhom把关，完美效果将其表现力极强的歌喉一层无遗。
《鬼医》是令琳达一举成名的百老汇剧目，她在其中一人兼演两角，全剧录音由于歌靓且效果出色，老早就是发烧友试音的经典，乃至琳达以后推出的唱片都难以企及。从选出的此首“once upon a dream”去听，琳达的音色之美足以叫人呼吸停止，其背后的弦乐团伴奏亦绵峦如丝，录音的舞台空间感，口型比例几乎无可挑剔，要认识琳达·埃德就从这张美到杀死人的《鬼医》开始吧!
