Available digitally and on CD, Evergreens: Celebrating Six Decades on Columbia Records and Yentl: Deluxe 40th Anniversary Edition may be pre-ordered

Fans can get a first preview of Evergreens when Barbra’s Grammy and Oscar winning recording of “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star is Born)” – the 2023 Mix is released as an Instant Grat track through all DSPs on September 8. This is a recording featuring Barbra’s classic vocals with a brand-new arrangement.

Additionally, fans can hear the first previously unreleased track from the Yentl soundtrack, “Papa, Can You Hear Me?” on October 6. This recording, long stored in Streisand’s music vault, is an alternate version of the Oscar nominated song, produced by Phil Ramone and arranged by Dave Grusin.

Evergreens celebrates Streisand’s 60th anniversary as a Columbia artist. The album features 22 songs, personally selected by Barbra as some of her favorite recordings throughout her career. None of these tracks have appeared on previous Streisand compilations before. Target will offer an exclusive Evergreens on pink vinyl.

The songs chosen for Evergreens have nothing to do with statistics or certifications. Instead, they were chosen by Barbra to exemplify her emotional connection to these melodies and lyrics – each holding a special place in her heart and memory.

Evergreens: Celebrating Six Decades on Columbia Records commemorates the unparalleled career of a once-in-a-lifetime artist, who has literally conquered every entertainment medium – the nightclub, concert, Broadway, to the big screen, small screen, and of course, the recording studio.

Yentl: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition commemorates the 40th anniversary of the release of the Oscar-winning soundtrack to Yentl celebrates the release of the groundbreaking motion-picture Yentl, which Barbra directed, wrote, produced and starred in. The Oscar-winning soundtrack to Yentl, features all the songs from the original album, plus a bonus disc of previously unreleased gems from vault.

Yentl will be offered on vinyl as a Barnes & Noble exclusive on 2 discs. Disc one features the original Yentl soundtrack, and disc 2 features 15 tracks that Barbra recorded as demos or alternate versions. The 10 demos were recorded in her living room on a stereo cassette deck, with Barbra narrating the introduction to each track. They feature Barbra accompanied only by Michel Legrand on piano.

The Yentl soundtrack is a wonder to behold. Legrand’s melodies are lush and compelling, articulating emotions that words alone cannot express. The Bergmans’ lyrics convey Yentl’s travails with wisdom, humor, and compassion. Barbra’s vocal performances are among the finest she ever committed to tape.

The living room demos featured on Disc Two, recorded on a stereo cassette deck, are nothing short of a revelation. Barbra’s voice, accompanied only by Legrand’s piano, is stunning. This is Streisand au naturel. Without their elaborate orchestrations, the songs are delivered with an intimacy revealing their flawless construction. Like peering into the inner workings of a fine watch to study the gears, one gets a sense of how precisely the words and music are synchronized, and how Barbra imbues each with layers of meaning.

Both albums were supervised and feature extensive liner notes by Jay Landers, Streisand’s long-time A&R man and Executive Producer.
