Petra Berger: Touched By Streisand (2011)

In her native Holland, the vocal capacities of Petra Berger are often compared to those of Andrea Bocelli or Céline Dion. “She doesn’t sound Dutch at all!” people often say. They don’t mean to be impolite; coming from a Dutchman it is a great compliment! Dutch singers with a vocal range comprising more than three octaves usually sing opera and don’t bother with pop music. In addition to her technical qualities, Petra Berger is tremendously musical in an emotional sense. She has the gift to stir up an audience to great highs and lows, because she personally wants to experience the significance of each and every note and word that she sings. Petra is a perfectionist. And besides being a perfectionist, she is very ambitious when it comes to the content of a song. “A beautiful melody,” she explains, “simply won’t do. Each song has to be about something.”
