Query: Sing out, Sylvia!

Having enjoyed McNair's light soprano in performance of classical material and being an Arlen fan, I thought this album would be ideal listening. I was sorely dissapointed. McNair sounds exhausted. Not ragged or raw, but tired, completely lacking in energy. On many of the tracks she is barely audible. And if there's any acting going on here, it's not readily apparent. For true cross-over heaven, check out Kiri TeKanawa's Gershwin and Irving Berlin albums, and Dawn Upshaw's Rodgers and Hart tribute and her album entitled "I Wish it So."
