    In 2000, I was privileged to see Barbra live in concert. As the last song before intermission, she sang this song and held this note just as long. This brought the house down and a standing ovation followed. And like you, I had goose bumps and shed a tear. I’ll never forget that moment. Thanks.

    This is the finale to the movie "Yentl," which Barbra Streisand directed. If you haven't seen the film, I actually think you'd really enjoy it. There are some underlying gay themes, but overall, it is a movie about love and following your dreams!
    She does sing this song live, in a duet with herself from her "Timeless" concert on January 1, 2000. You have to see it to believe it. LOL

    That is not her longest note. Her last TV special back in the 70s - she did a montage of classic songs via different countries and at the end of the 16 min montage, she holds a final note while the orchestra plays each of the themes of the songs from each of the country's instruments played earlier while she sustains the note over it. It is truly one of the Mount Everest of long notes.

    One of the most triumphant endings in film history, enough to give one shivers and yes, THAT last note omg!!! she holds it for a ridiculous 20 seconds and still manages to do a subtle vibrato before getting off the note (whereas she should have been on the ground gasping for air) and that's very hard!

    Whenever I watch "Yentl" or hear songs from the movie, I remember the film "In & Out" in which Kevin Kline plays a huuuge Streisand fan. In one scene someone says that she was too old for Yentl.
    Then all hell breaks loose... 😂

    There is a live compilation on UA-cam of her in concert singing songs from Yentl, when she’s older. My mother was the biggest Barbra fan, so I heard all the Barbra growing up. Her voice is absolutely amazing, one of a kind. A gift to us all. I saw the movie when it came out, it’s a great movie. Every time I hear Barbra, I think of my mother, RIP, and gives me good memories. “Papa Can You Hear Me?” Is a beautiful song from Yentl. A great video is her and Neil Diamond singing “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” live at the Grammy’s in what looks like the late 70s/early 80s, it can come and go on UA-cam, but it’s amazing, because Barbra didn’t sing live very much for many, many years. Thanks for the reaction, definitely going to subscribe based on this…and I see a Queen poster in your background 😀

    Yentl was a Musical, that they made into a film! She starred, sung, and produced this film. She was up for many Academy awards, but for some reason, she only got one award. The academy snubbed her for some reason. I think, they thought it was too easy for her. Barbara said, it was one of the hardest films to make, but because she always made everything look so easy, they didn't want to give her awards, even though she more than deserved it!

    Check out the Yentl Medley from her 1994 return to the concert stage after a 27 year absence, recorded for the Emmy winning HBO special. She duets with herself by singing live along with this clip from the movie. The late, great Marvin Hamlisch conducts the magnificent orchestra. Absolutely astonishing. If you want to hear what may be an even longer note held by Barbra in a movie that is probably the last note in Before The Parade Passes By in Hello, Dolly! It goes on forever!

  • @bergeandtom
    @bergeandtom 2 роки тому +1

    She sings a longer note in Make our garden grow, which is a more difficult note, cause it's longer. Yet it's not her longest. On a special she sang who could ask for anything more which was 23 seconds long. (Tom)

    I think you'd also really enjoy Barbra's song "Papa, Can You Hear Me?" from the movie "Yentl." She repeats some of the lyrics here in "A Piece of Sky" (Papa, can you hear me? ... Papa, can you see me?). Along with "Papa," another song from "Yentl" called "The Way He Makes Me Feel" was also nominated for an Oscar for best original song.

    Watch the movie “Yentl”, Barbra Streisand directed, produced, co-wrote the movie, starred in it as well as sang every song. What was remarkable, women didn’t direct movies then! And to top it off, it was the first Hollywood movie made behind the iron curtain during the Cold War!!!! She became the first woman in history to win the golden globe for best director. When she was snubbed by the Oscar for the major awards, it was a scandal!!!

    You should watch Yentl to hear all of the songs and then this one will make more sense. It`s also very similar to the end of Funny Girl, her first movie, where she sings. Nobody Is Gonna Rain On My Parade on the back of a tug-boat and holds a note almost as long as this one. there`s a video of her performance from the film on UA-cam, well worth watching.

    Here you go. I happen to just stumble upon this. This is from one of her tours. It's a Duet from Yentl. All I can say is have a box of tissue handy, especially after the first song. The visuals in your mind are overpowering. You have to literally sit still for a few minutes as your mind processes what you just heard and saw. Anyway, here is the link, and have your producer or someone download the video so that you don't see it first. I really am curious to hear your expert opinion. I am 62 and grew up with all this music from the 60s to the present. And I can't help but watch the breath-taking delight on your face as you experience one of the best talents ever as I have since my early teens. As a gay man of 62, people might only be able to see the age difference between us, but the experiences and impact of how we were, back in the day -- thought of as people who had a mental disorder -- and up to the experiences of present-day you talked about being bullied, which you and I both have felt the emotional scar of oppression and stupidity linking you and I and thousands of others together. Personally, Barbra brought me through some patchy period in my life. I have subscribed and will be taking a look at your merch, as well as a Patreon member to support you, your channel, and your efforts. Here is the link to watch one of the best performances ever. ua-cam.com/video/ff0GP6leBfo/v-deo.html. One last thing. This may be unheard of, but I think on some video reactions, the blending of your two reactions would be amazing and garner a lot of attention.

    If you want to see her live, check out her singing "My Man" from her "My Name is Barbra" TV special--her first, in 1965. It's thrilling. Her "The Way We Were" live in 1975 is pretty spectacular, too, but the sound quality on the UA-cam versions of it isn't the best.

    Barbara co directed, co wrote and co produced and stared in this movie. Her vocals are insane. And let’s not forget her acting! She’s also an artist.
