Classical singers doing "poplular music"
On radio 3 I just listened to Sir Thomas Allen singing Vaughen Williams Songs of Travel - excellent.
Then they had to play him singing "One for my baby (and one more for the road), technically superb, he hits every note and was in time but it was bloody awful.
It's always the same when classical singers do popular music I don't know why they bother, you never heard Frank Sinatra doing Mahler's Kinder Toten Lieder.
