Kiri Sings Kern: Dame Kiri TeKanawa
Dame Kiri TeKanawa, Jerome Kern, ...

Angel Records, 1993

Her beautiful singing exhibits impeccable diction and excellent phrasing; but "A Fine Romance" lacks anger and humor, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" lacks a storyteller, and "All the Things You Are" lacks romanticism. However, happy songs like "All Through the Day," "Look for the Silver Lining," and "The ...
