Streisand in concert, 2006.

“Now that she's 64, Streisand's tone remains pure as the dawn, her phrasing unmatched. Only a few modified high notes and extra pauses for breath hinted at mortality. Swinging through the 1937 E.Y. ‘Yip’ Harburg-Harold Arlen tune ‘Down With Love’ or nailing the dramatic arc in Billy Barnes’ ‘(Have I Stayed) Too Long at the Fair,’ one of a few featured songs she hadn't sung onstage for decades, Streisand's voice told a story more primal and compelling than the uplifting rhetoric she read from the TelePrompTer between numbers. It's the resonance of introspection: The blend of intimacy and showiness in Streisand's voice turns her performances into portraits of the heart and mind in self-discovery.”
