Anyone know of a good one besides LuPone?

Patti's is my favorite, but Susan Egan has a lovely one too!

I love Betty Buckley's from the London concert not the jazzy one, I also enjoy Srah Brightman's version

I'm not a huge Sarah Brightman fan (don't love or hate her)...but her version is the one that made me like the song.

Liz Callaway's version is the definitive one for me. Absolutely stunning.

I find Susan Egan's a bit dull, but I love Betty B.'s.

I prefer Sarah Brightman's to Susan Egan's.

I wish Patti's was better recorded--anyone else notice how there are chunks where the quality of recording shifts sharply? and she sounds suddenly closer to the mike?
Anyway I do really like the woman singing on the Trevor Nunn London recording--who's name I have no idea.
(and I'm not a Sarah Brightman fan either but her version is surprisingly good--i think the song suits her rather thin voice for some reason)

I believe that Patti's is the difinitive version. Having said that, I really enjoy Stephanie J. Block's version and Sarah Brightman's version. Now that I read how good Liz Calloway's version is....I'm going to try and download that right away. Thanks for the heads up.

pc-You won't be sorry. Although, on iTunes it only has the recording from "Sibling Revelry", which, though great, can't compare to her album "The Story Goes On: Liz Callaway sing On & Off Broadway". "Sibling Revelry" has a piano, a bass (I think), and a percussion unit. "The Story Goes On" has a full fledged orchestra, and it is just breathtaking.

wiggum, I believe if you go to Stephanie J. Block's website you can hear her version of "Meadowlark." The link to the audio page is below.

I first heard the song as sung by Sarah Brightman in one of her early albums and liked it right away.

Sharon Lee Hill was Genevieve in the London production and the wife of Trevor Nunn at the time.
Its a decent recording especially Alun Armstrong as the Baker.
