Amazon.com essential recording:
With a spirit of innocence and excitement, no audible breaks of register, and perfect diction, Dawn Upshaw graces us with a satisfying crossover recording in which each song is a fully realized musical monologue. The eclectic and infrequently performed repertoire, from Bernstein, Blitzstein, Sondheim, and Weill, compliments her charm and interpretive acuity. There's her humorous "Saga of Jenny," her adorable "That's Him," her poignant "Like It Was," and her freshly vibrant "I Feel Pretty." Conductor Eric Stern is divine in his arrangements and accompaniment. This is one of the best musical theater albums available. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Rating : - A Crossover To Embrace
Dawn Upshaw is one of those few classical singers who can do crossover work and shine brilliantly. I am a major lover of Steve Sondheim, and she does wonderous things with some of his lovely songs. If you are lover of well sung Musical Comedy music, be sure you put this terrific CD on your list.
