Reviews

  • An early recording of a modern American soprano.

    This recording, one of the earliest in Dawn Upshaw's career, was originally released in 1990, and clearly shows the promise of one of America's great soprano voices. Equally comfortable with a Mozart opera, or the modern songs of John Harbison, Upshaw's specialty is delivering text. As a champion of contemporary composers, Dawn Upshaw delivery a lyric phrase or a text laden aria with confidence and clarity. In this album, we see an artist at the beginning of her professional career deliver a bold choice in programming, joyously sung.

  • fantastic voice...

    I agree with the "best Knoxville" review. Ms. Upshaw's voice is so rich and obviously well-trained, however she lacks that overly-done quality wherein every soprano sounds like they came from the same mold. Oh, and you can understand what the hell she's saying too. ;-)

  • Best Knoxville

    I've been looking for this recorderng forever? This is far and away the best Knoxville I've heard. Upshaw's warm tone and easy style are the perfect complement for Agee's indulgently rich prologue.

  • A fine album, but not the best Knoxville

    The best strategy here is just to buy the Menotti song, "What a Curse For a Woman ...". In 30 years of loving Barber's masterpiece, I still prefer the Leontyne Price version with orchestra (not the one with Barber at the piano).
