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. ;-)
Knoxville: Summer of 1915 - a singers review
This recording of Knoxville is the very best to which I’ve had the pleasure of listening. Ms. Upshaw’s voice is perfectly suited to it. It’s almost as if it were written for her. Her style, pronunciation, and technical approach are spot on, and she makes it sound easy. Trust me; this is not an easy piece to sing. I am not a big fan of the Mirabai songs themselves, but she sings them with technical aplomb. The Menotti aria is also very well done, but it is in the Stravinsky that she shows the most flexibility in dramatic approach and vocal athleticism. It is my opinion that no one sings the English language more understandably. SS
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.
