I think not. It's not bad, but it's very slight.

Hmm. What do you mean by that?

I remember thinking Heather Laws was fantastic in the revival but none of it translated to the recording, IMO. Katie FInneran was perfection in the NY Phil concert.
Based on recordings, of course Beth Howland, but Veanne Cox is a close second.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

I found Sophie Thompson embarrassing.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

"Hmm. What do you mean by that?"
It's slow, a little vocally strained and airy, and I think she makes some obvious or easy -- maybe too on-the-nose -- choices.
Comparatively speaking. It's a strong field.
Though I do like her "Amen!" quite a lot.

BETH HOWLAND...and a very close hilarious second to MADALINE KAHN...
i firmly believe the original is almost always the best version...
