Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me?

Actually, this duet works incredibly well on their recent album "Cheek To Cheek". I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga and really think she's weird. Her music is weird, her persona is weird, she's just weird.

However, WOW does she have a fantastic voice! I've never even listened to any of her stuff because, well she's weird, but with Tony as a singing partner, she's great.

This album is recorded very well. Nice deep and wide soundstage and the imaging is excellent. The voices are a little forward for my taste, but still overall, well done.

Tony Bennett was one of my parent's favorite singers and I, of course, have heard him many times. He's not what I would usually listen to, but this album has become one of my favorites.

Well worth a listen and highly recommended!

Old conversation, but I am just listening to the album "Cheek to Cheek".
So I like the songs, the duo is very interesting, with Lady Gaga, modern pop singer, joining old school Tony Bennett.
But the recording is so bad... my god.  It sounds loud, with very little dynamic range, instruments are all over the place, piano extends from left to right, same for a single saxophone... or maybe they were playing giant instruments I don't know.  I think it's a shame that they had both Tony and Lady Gaga singing from the same microphone, and too far from it.
Disappointing.
