Dawn Upshaw evokes the spirit of American musicals and is one of the most versatile and talented of a new generation of American singers, equally at home on the concert platform and the musical stage. In this specially recorded late-night recital from the Royal Albert Hall during the 1996 Promenade Concerts, Dawn Upshaw ranges widely over the gamut of American operatic arias and popular songs from the 1920s to the present day. Ms Upshaw gives a truly wonderful performance, full of expression, harmony and sublime singing.
