BWW Review: Anything You Can Do, The Mezzos of NY Festival of Song's Gala Can Do Better

(Blier also supplied the piano accompaniment on a half dozen entries.)
They sang everything from Edith Piaf, Reynaldo Hahn and Alberto Ginastera to Antonio Carlos Jobim and Irving Berlin, all in styles that sounded little like anything you might hear at the Met, Covent Garden or the Wiener Staatsoper. There were songs in French, English, Brazilian and Spanish, with the singers at home in everything they sang
