The album captures Streisand's recent concerts, which premiered in Brooklyn last fall. The award-winning artist has since toured the evening across the world. The concerts featured Streisand surrounded by a full 60-piece orchestra with special guests Chris Botti, her son Jason Gould, and sister Roslyn Kind.

In addition to Streisand signatures, a rarely performed radio hit and a selection from her new recording "Release Me," the evening also boasts a medley of tunes from the classic musical Gypsy. Streisand and Richard Jay-Alexander directed the evenings.

The single-disc and two-disc CD/DVD package will be released Nov. 19.

The critically acclaimed concert will also air on PBS stations around the country Nov. 29 as part of the 2013 PBS Arts Fall Festival.
