About this Album
1991 Grammy Award Winner
Upshaw's adventurous sophomore disc earned the soprano a second Grammy for Best Classical Soloist Performance. The New York Times noted, “Upshaw sings (exquisitely, of course) intriguing, mostly unfamiliar songs by Falla, Ravel, Stravinsky, Earl Kim, and Maurice Delage.”
