Sweet but slow with heavy strings.

To me the strings are not accompanying the voice of Joni James as much as they are competing with it. She has a beautiful voice but for my taste the strings over power it at times. Secondly, the tempo is much too slow, again for my taste. This hides the spirit or joy that so many of these songs possess. The one exception is Ave Maria which is beautifully done.
I'm sure that others might rate this collection higher for the reasons that I rated it lower, but I've heard each of these songs many times over and the tempo is not in the manner that I've become accustomed to. I bought this CD primaily for the It Is No Secret tune, and the vitality of the original is really missing.
