Elysa Gardner Pick of the week: Wonder in the World, Kelli O'Hara with Harry Connick Jr.: Currently starring in the smash Broadway revival of South Pacific, O'Hara is one of the most lavishly talented and versatile singer/actresses of her generation. On this title track of her debut album -- one of several written by Connick, who co-starred with O'Hara in a 2006 production of The Pajama Game and also provided arrangements and orchestrations for the album -- O'Hara's soprano, at once earthy and pristine, gleams with tenderness and unforced awe. Little surprise that Connick sounds pretty wonder-struck himself.
'Wonder in the World' combines pop music and covers of Billy Joel and James Taylor, with original songs and familiar favorites, to create a 14-track collection celebrating the diversity of the American Songbook. The CD showcases O'Hara bridging the gap between contemporary music and beloved standards.
ALL MUSIC Praised: “What is surprising is the broad base from which O'Hara draws her material," and adds, “For show tune and lounge fans who like a touch of pop with the classics, and for Harry Connick, Jr. fans...Wonder in the World serves as a fine introduction to Kelli O'Hara."
