Dawn Upshaw Talks to NY Times About Bringing Beauty into the World
Following her performance in Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall this past Sunday, Dawn Upshaw is preparing for two nights at Lincoln Center's Gerald Lynch Theater, in a production of Kurtág's Kafka Fragments. She first brought the piece to Zankel Hall in 2005, under the direction of Peter Sellars and with violinist Geoff Nuttall, who also return for the current iteration. The New York Times talks to the soprano about the piece and her other current projects; she says: "I feel I’m doing the world—or my audience—the most good by bringing things to them that I either feel have an important message or bring perspective or beauty to their lives, and do it as honestly as I can."

Dawn Upshaw Performance at Carnegie Hall's Opening Night Airs Tonight on PBS's "Great Performances"
Dawn Upshaw's performance last month with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony for the Opening Night Gala of Carnegie Hall's 118th season receives its broadcast premiere tonight on PBS's Great Performances. When the all-Bernstein program had its San Francisco debut, the San Francisco Chronicle hailed Dawn's performance as "the high point" of the evening, citing her "fizzy, funny and wonderfully evocative rendition" of the aria "What a Movie" from the opera Trouble in Tahiti.
About this Album
Soprano Upshaw and pianist Richard Goode perform songs built on texts by German poet Goethe. The Washington Post praised “the inclusion of both Schubert's and Schumann's settings of the exquisite Wandrers Nachtlied and the heartfelt interpretation of Mozart's Das Veitchen."
