5.0 out of 5 starsAptly titled album of standards
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2016
This is the album Chenoweth was born to make. These standards are revisited quite often but rarely with such care and feeling. "I'ce Got A Crush On You" and "The Very Thought of You" both with Dave Koz are really lovely but then, so is the rest of "The Art of Elegance." Chenoweth makes "A House Is Not a Home" her own in her powerful version here. She never overdoes any of this material, instead letting her amazing voice find nuance and feeling in every song. If you enjoy The Great American Songbook and flawless execution, you'll love this recording. More of the same Ms. Chenoweth, please!
