" MY ROMANCE" RODGERS & HART CLASSIC WONDERFULLY SUNG BY BROADWAY DIVA, BERNADETTE PETERS


"  My Romance"  Rodgerts & Hart Classic wonderfully sung by Broadway' diva, Bernadette Peters.

Alec Wilder, the passionate archivist of Classic American Popular song described this as a
" True theatre song with a dramatic climax supported by equally dramatic lyrics: " my most fantastic dreams come true."


There are three musical elements responsible for the sheer artistry of this performance:  First, the matchless marriage of melody and lyrics, the second, Bernadette Peters interpretive " living" in the piece as something only a singing actress can deliver and lastly, the superb piano accompaniment by Marvin Laird. He has been Peter's musical conductor for some time and their version speaks to a great mutual understanding and sharing of a musical moment.
This song is a most appropriate prelude to Valentine's Day. ( Coincidentally, " My Funny Valentine" was also written by Rodgers & Hart.)
