Christine Brewer: Saint Louis Woman. Kirt Pavitt, piano. A celebration of the artistry of Saint Louis's own Christine Brewer, this is also a recording of and about music in Saint Louis. Christine follows in a line of great St. Louis singers including Grace Bumbry, Jean Madeira and the "Saint Louis Woman" herself , Helen Traubel. Her vocal gifts most nearly resemble Traubel's, and she is often compared to that legendary soprano; it is exciting to hear a new Traubel at the beginning of a great career. It is fair to say that you haven't really lived until you‚ve heard Christine and Kirt in three songs from Harold Arlen's Saint Louis Woman with lyrics by Johnny Mercer: "Come Rain or 'Come Shine", "I Wonder What Became of Me", and "I Had Myself a True Love". Recorded at the Sheldon Concert Hall, Saint Louis.
