This woman had a talent that was surprising to many people. The key of this song was raised for her, such was her formidable vocal range. It's been rumoured that Sondheim and Lee Remick were very, very close friends, and I can believe that. If nothing else, Sondheim was, I'm sure delighted with her rendering of this terrific song.

We love you, Lee!

@gregorvonkallahann "...she could have probably could have gotten a rise out of Troy Donahue."

I mean who the hell knew that Lee Remick could sing? And not just sing, but deliver such a beautiful rendition of this number. I guess she was about 50 here. She about six years after this, much too early. Would have loved to have seen what roles she would've been doing had been around longer.

God Lee Remick was SOOOOO lovely. She left this world way too early. I love these Sondheim concerts because it's so fascinating to see these actresses singing/performing these wonderful (and, as any Sondheim afficionado (sp?) knows, very difficult to sing) songs. Many of these actresses, whose film careers were essentially over or waning--Glynis Johns, Yvonne DeCarlo, Alexis Smith, to name a few, were given the wonderful opportunity to showcase talents no one ever knew they had!

To me, this is the best version of "Could I Leave You," including the ones of Dee Hoty, Donna Murphy & Blythe Danner--the latter two having seen live. Granted, I adored Lee Remick. She was a fabulous actress.
