Event records for the 35-plus set come about as often as the locusts, but Barbra Streisand's reunion record with Barry Gibb is as big as they get. Twenty-five years after Streisand's best-selling "Guilty," which paired the two talents, Gibb again elicits the very best from the songbird—not only the sky-high vocal delivery that made her famous, but also a rare, indulgent playfulness. Aside from several creamy MOR love and heartbreak songs, Streisand serves up the dance ditty "Night of My Life," already remixed into a dancefloor hoot; the doo-wop-lite "Come Tomorrow," one of two duets with Gibb; and the lovely Bee Gees cover "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away." But nothing beats Streisand belting a ballad, and "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "Golden Dawn" are nothing less than classics. Wholly rewarding. —Chuck Taylor
