Higher Ground comprises both traditional religious songs and new material (even "Tell Him," a duet with Celine Dion, vaguely touches on that theme), which are given grandiose arrangements by Marvin Hamlisch. Although Streisand and Hamlisch still favor sweeping strings and bold statements — so much so that many of the songs sound remarkably similar to each other, in terms of dynamics and arrangements — the album retains its power, thanks to her subtle interprations of melody and lyrics. The end result might not quite match her latter-day masterpieces, but it's another strong addition to her catalog. Featuring “Avinu Malkeinu.â€
