She's good, but Leontyne Price is phenomenal!

Ok, this is one of the few broadway shows where opera singers CAN stroll down the Great White Way--that 's because P and B needs strong non-miked voices and IS an opera-with Br'way overtones. But everyb lady and their mother thinks they can do Summertime--its become almost a bad cliche in second rate nightclubs--and unfortunately Carnegie Hall--Kiri is not going low brow enough for this song---she's wayyy too far south, know what I mean??? Doing strauss when she should be in Charlston.

@katesinger well, except that the "anyone" who decided to make it contemporary was..you know..the composer himself
i like it much better better as an aria too, but Gershwin gave it to Billie Holiday for a reason

Nah, it's somewhere back in behind her nose! Swallowing the voice yet again!

World class.

I've listened to all of those you have mentioned, and I love the song sung many ways -- but this is the one I choose for my playlist. I thihk it is perfectly "Gershwin" and Te Kanawa's voice perfectly suited for the piece.

@flaze3 I am not so sure I would call this version superior. I can't imagine it geting any better than the versions by Leontyne Price and Kathleen Battle.

@maggiepower The aria is sung twice in two different keys. The key she's singing it in is the same key Bess sings it in the opera.
