Footnotes
First Streisand album to debut at #1 on Billboard's weekly album sales chart
and 7th Streisand album to reach #1, making Barbra the only artist to have #1 albums in 4 consecutive decades - '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s.
- Dedicated to memory of Steve Ross, Barbra's dear friend and Warner Bros. executive.

Barbra writes in the liner notes of "The Music Of The Night": "Although the Phantom sings it on stage alone, I thought it would make a wonderful duet. I asked Michael if he would sing it with me and happily he agreed...It took us four years to finally get together and record it! It was great having a reunion with Michael after working with him in Hello, Dolly! when he was just a kid...(so was I!)"
- David Foster, who produced several tracks, reflected on Barbra in May
2005: "We have kind of a brother-sister relationship. I'm generally
not friends with some of the people I work with. Natalie I have remained good
friends with. But Barbra is a really, really good friend. We've decided now
that we are better off being friends and not working together because she
thinks I'm difficult to work with, I think she's difficult to work with. We
have worked together for 20 years. I used to be her piano player back in the
early '80s, I played piano on her record. She's a wonderful friend, she's a
great talent, but we don't get along that well in the studio. So we decided we
probably won't work together anymore. But we're still friends."
- First work under Sony multimedia contract signed December 1992.
