Barbra Streisand … and Other Musical Instruments

Barbra Streisand

A surrealist deconstruction of the Great American Songbook. Streisand pits her iconic voice against bagpipes, sitars, and kitchen appliances in a 1973 fever dream.

November 2, 1973 · CBS

A restless, inquisitive exploration of sound that balances high-camp theatricality with genuine avant-garde curiosity.

Moments Worth Listening For

the jarring transition from traditional piano scales into a cacophony of global percussion on the opening track

the way 'People' is stripped of its usual sentimentality and re-imagined through a minimalist, rhythmic lens

the surreal blending of a Schubert lied with modern studio trickery and Streisand's crystalline German diction
