Barbra Streisand: Duets version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Columbia on 25. March 2008.

Barbra Streisand was born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York. As a teenager, she repeatedly participated in singing competitions. Every inch of her body wants to be on Broadway, wants to be a musical star. And God knows she has the voice to do it. Finally, at 19, she makes her debut in an off-Broadway production and lands a recording contract with Columbia. The rest, as we all know, is musical history: she is the only artist to have won every major award and accolade in the industry without exception: the Oscars, the Golden Globes, several Emmys, Tonys and Goldwyn Awards, as well as various Grammys including the Living Legend Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award. With her thrilling voice of the century, the actress and singer, who also directs (as in the films "Yentl" and "Lord of the Tides"), has been enchanting fans around the world since her first hit 40 years ago ("People"). For 45 years, Streisand has been a global star, an unsurpassed entertainer who has recorded duets with many equally famous colleagues. "Duets" collects the best of them: Barry Gibb, Neil Diamond, Celine Dion, Kris Kristofferson, Donna Summer, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Bryan Adams and Barry Manilow, among others. There are 19 duets in total vying for listeners' favour - and frankly: we can't decide on a favourite.

Album can be classified in the genre Pop.
