I first became aware of Dawn Upshaw from a TV recording of a late night BBC prom which eventually appeared on an obscure channel on Brazilian television many years ago. I was transfixed. It doesn't matter what she sings, she is always ravishing. Such musicianship, an amazing technique, a beautiful sound capable of infinite variation, an understanding of all the many styles she sings, a personality..... You name it: she's got it.

Dawn's voice is beautiful to listen to in this song. We were taught this song in our opera workshop - when I first heard it being sung by the workshop leader who's a baritone singer, I was entranced .....

Thanks very much to Ira Gershwin's poetic lyrics! Dawn has a lovely voice. Love that staging & Weill's music.

Steve Van Dien

Then again -- having not heart Upshaw for some time, I find her voice a tad thin and shrill ---

Steve Van Dien

The two best renditions I've heard were those of Tony Bennett (on his "At Carnegie Hall" album) and Johnny Hartmann Not saying that this is therefore more of a man's song than a woman's. Just my two cents. Maybe because the singer of this song must be rather vulnerable, and it is more moving to hear a vulnerable male singer than a female? Just a thought -

Steve Van Dien

Ah, Upshaw. Splendid singer; and she exemplifies the kind of female performer who isn't pretty, yet (thanks to the spiritual intensity that she exudes, effortlessly) is overwhelmingly attractive and sexy --

Her "I Wish It So" is such a great compilation... all performed with great distinction. And how many people have gotten to know such wonderful versions of Marc Blitzstein?

Scott Reiburn

This is what is called "Perfect"! Ah Dawn... I am so glad to have been alive to hear and experience your gifts.

@OperaBuff1935 She's incredible; have always liked her but was not aware of her bout with cancer. Thanks so much for your comment!

I'm so glad to see a live posting of this number by the incomparable Dawn Upshaw. I have the recording "I Wish It So" - she signed the CD booklet for me. Dawn is at home in just about any kind of music she wishes to sing. To me, the best singer of the 2nd half of the 20th Century. And she's still working - and that includes singing - after surviving breast cancer. What a singer! What a woman! Brava diva Dawn!

Lovely to find this live performance here. I have Dawn Upshaw's "I Wish It So" CD, which includes this song. She's certainly a captivating and expressive singer, at home with the musical theater as well as the classical repertoire.

Cant beleive that this is German composer... it as so many emotions and gentleness. Kurt Wajl is so different from Hindemit and all German late romantic, expresionist(atonal,serial), neoclassical composers,...

The best song she ever performed was Steven Sondheim's "Never Get Lost / Take Me To The World". INCREDIBLE! Dawn is one of the best vocalists of the last 50 years.

Carami Hilaire

her voice refracts as many colors as a prism.

Reminds me so MUCH of Barbara Cook! Quite a worthy successor.
