  • Damrau's, Dessay's and Chenowith's versions are far more comical when you get to see how they move on stage . Anderson does a better job in phrasings than the rest of them, she's the one who holds the first half of the aria altogether. The others make Bernstein's piece sound quite poorly written because they sing and try too hard to make it whimsical without understanding the music.

  • Bernstein is a Genius!!!

  • It is an interesting version of Anderson....I love the faces of the violinists and the clarinetist by the way! And when Dessay sings is even funnier

  • It is alright, but I definitely prefer Chenowith's version. This one is indeed too serious, and the Allegro molto part needs to be a little faster and lighter, I'd say.

  • The best !!

    

  • @flipsyboy Renee Fleming is NOT a coloratura.

  • Her voice is creamy

  • This is the best one, right? Anyway, it's wicked good...

  • she is the best for me.

    other singer is annoying

  • this is one of the better ones i've heard. i'm partial to the first recording by barbara cook (especially how she performs the laughing section), but this is great.

  • @flipsyboy Where most singers can get over the top is the "spoken parts" "pearls, and ruby rings, how can wordly things..etc...the parts that are not being sung in high register. Very few opera singers succeed in this Broadway piece. June did well in making it serious and formal (at least you can't say she's over the top and silly like Fleming.) But for me the best is Natalie Dessay, who sings strongly with technique and high notes but also that Broadway humor.
