Incomparable stage and screen icon Barbra Streisand recently headlined an international world tour titled BACK TO BROOKLYN, kicking off in her hometown of Brooklyn, New York at the newly-opened Barclays Arena, no less, and the careful preservation of those shows via a new DVD and CD coming out next month is now available for pre-order.

Streisand stunned sold-out Audiences around the world with the BACK TO BROOKLYN tour, featuring many gems highlighted on her newest album, RELEASE ME, as well as the classic hallmarks fans have come to know and love from her peerless recording career, Broadway appearances and extensive film resume, variously acting as star, director, producer and songwriter over the course of the last fifty years - to say Nothing of her fearless off-stage political activism and notable charity crusades.

"Being Good Isn't Good Enough", "Didn't We?", "You're The Top" and "How Deep Is The Ocean" - the latter alongside her son, Jason Gould, who is also featured in a solo number - are but a few of the new musical additions to Streisand's repertoire for this sparkling 2012-13 tour preserved on CD/DVD, which also showcased talented vocal trio Il Volo, famed trumpeter Chris Botti and a 65-piece orchestra led by conductor Bill Ross.

Of course, the legendary Marvin Hamlisch/Alan & Marilyn Bergman THE WAY WE WERE theme, as well as Streisand's Oscar-winning "Evergreen" and FUNNY GIRL's "Don't Rain On My Parade" feature into the spectacular show, as well, directed with theatrical flair and elegant precision by Streisand herself and longtime collaborator Richard Jay-Alexander, punctuated by moving and fascinating vintage film footage from Streisand's own personal collection.

Further details on the technical specs of the CD and DVD as well as a Complete track-listing are forthcoming at this time.
