The best acting while singing that has graced Broadway in many, many years. Why isn't Rachel York a huge Broadway star? Beautiful effortless voice and great acting skills. Get her " Let's Fall in Love" CD. Amazing!. Awaiting her second CD eagerly!!
Rachel York was the perfect "Kate" if ever there was one. What a great voice. Such a sense of drama. I never tire of watching this version of the show!
This is my favourite rendition of 'So in Love.' I like how Rachel starts lower than other versions of this song so that she can show off her range when she reaches that high note. Rachel's acting is also superb. I wish that they had the musical recordings of this cast's performances. I really liked this cast, from the character voice of Lois Lane to the complementary vocals of the lead characters. It's always a joy to watch.
I have always loved "Kiss Me Kate" from the first time I saw the 1950's movie production starring Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson and the amazing Ann Miller. Rachel York is the first person I have seen since that absolutely does the part of Lilli Vannessi and Kate justice. Absolutely phenominal... loved it, loved it, loved it!!
This is probably my most favorite Cole Porter composition and, in my opinion, Rachel York sings this song the way it begs to be sung...bravo, Miss York!
I love the way Ms York sings this song. Exactly as it should be sung. I think it is the best I have heard so far! Her voice is very beautiful and adds to the meaning behind the song. I am a BIG Cole Porter fan--and a Hoosier as well. Thank you for posting this lovely version of this song.
I was there at this very performance on Wednesday 21st August 2002 when it was filmed for DVD. Not only Rachel but All the cast were absolutely superb! It is still my 3rd favourite musical 'cast' of all time!! Well done Rachel you Gorgeous lady! (i still have your lovely photo's on top of my collection)
phenomenal !! as a student of porter's music, i've heard plenty of renditions of this song that cover the entire "quality" range. suffice to say, i have not heard better.
i think her connection with the lyrics and musicality of this song is stunning!!! musical theatre is not like opera. in opera the voice trumps acting and words but it musical theatre the acting and words trump voice. yes in musical theatre you need a good voice (which clearly she has) but you HAVE to be able to connect to the lyrics and character which she does amazingly! forget all the haters, they dont know musical theatre as it stands now.
Actually she was using a form of singing called Speech level singing in which you stay lower in your voice in order to make your high notes strong and high, so maybe she is an alto and has to stay low to get her high notes right. Don't judge people unless you really know what is going on!
I've been a fan for many years and I must say Ms. York has it all.....a talented actress with a gorgeous voice and she's stunningly beautiful. It doesn't get any better than that!
Wow. Sheer loveliness. This is the power of live theater that you cannot get from film. Beautiful singing from Ms. York and gorgeous lyrics from the master of romance and seduction- Cole Porter. And the final staging and zoom-in on Lili and Fred almost touching each other from opposite dressing rooms is bewitching. Thank God for stage performances captured on (almost) live television.
I found this before I could post and loved it. I've just watched John Wilsons Orchestra and singer do Kiss Me Kate at the proms and after seen that performance of this song I had to rush back here and listen to Rachel's far better rendition again. Stunningly beautiful both in looks and voice, which has both a purity and warmth about it and what's more when Rachel hits a long note she holds it, unlike some that over warble. John if your reading this hire this lady for the next proms and give her some great love songs to sing. As the title of the song, so in love with this rendition am I, thank for posting it.
RACHEL YORK! I think this absolutely beautiful woman has an amazingly good voice. She is wonderful to listen to and also very beautiful. Why don't I know more about her? I'm very musically literate. Now I will add Rachel York to my list of favorites!
"Strange dear, but true dear, When I'm close to you, dear, The stars fill the sky, So in love with you am I. Even without you, My arms fold about you, →あがるYou know darling why, So in love with you am I. In love with the night mysterious, The night when you first were there, In love with my joy delirious, When I knew that you could care, ※ So taunt me, and hurt me, Deceive me, desert me, I'm yours, till I die, So in love ×3 with you, my love am I" ※繰り返し
Best rendition of this song I've ever heard and I've heard alot. Rachel York is the perfect Lilli Vanessi. I saw Carolee Campbell in NYC and she was good, too, but Rachel's the best so far! jon
So beautiful...and SUCH a perfect way of explaining being in love with someone...So taunt me and hurt me deceive me desert me; I understand that line so well...it speaks to me the most.
Ms York, you have a beautiful voice, and just loved your acting also. Watching this video was a wonderful treat for me. I was playing my trumpet when So In Love came into my trumpet. When I realized it was not on my Trumpet Play List, I thought I'd check youtube to see if someone recorded it; I know the song but needed to hear the nuances. I never thought I'd get a Front Row Orchestra seat of such a magnificent presentation. Thanks to you and to Oya Canli for making this available. ciao.
I like this interpretation. I hope to sing this an octave down tomorrow (7pm, Bebop night club Boston Ma., I am called the legend of Bebop (85 years old starting learning how to sing Feb 2019 forced to retire).
@JackieBorelli OMG I know...I saw this production on DVD at my College(Musical Theater course) and I fell in love with not only the musical, but Rachel's performance...When I finally got the chance to see the movie, katherine grayson, while eternally beautiful did not in my opinion measure up vocally.
OMFG I love her soo much i fell in love with her as soon as i saw her perform in this...was a bit if anyone could compare to Kathryn Grayson and she does just this I love her xxxxx
Yeah, Aaron's in one of those ones talking about that switch when all TV signals are going digital and older sets will need one of those converters. Thanks for confirming!
thanks, serotonergic. I'll definitely be doing that until the auditions. I've been having friends and family judge my performance, but I guess I'm my own worst critic, so the mirror idea would definitely help. and i've looked up other performances of this song by other people, and i really think she does it best, though some others have really good ideas that i'm trying to adopt. thanks again!
Just had the film Kiss Me Kate on the TV and I did not think they used the song as well as this production, only used at the start of the film when it used as a lure, and later on in a similar scene to the above only as a reprise of it, about 1/3. Rachel still miles better than the big stars in the film version. Rachel sings it and looks like she means every word of the lovely song. Just wondering why there a jump at 2.15, did some one cough? Love to have this version on CD.

Rachel York is one of the most under-used and perhaps under-rated actors on Broadway. She deserves to have a show written for her.
Or that animated Wonder Woman series where she reprises her role as Circe
100% agree
Because the critics are enamored of ingenue types like Kelli O'Hara and (the vastly overrated and inevitably miscast) Sutton Foster.
Agreed x 10 !
@@Sharoney BS. Critics don't cast shows and there is no need to denigrate other performers. So rude.
The best acting while singing that has graced Broadway in many, many years. Why isn't Rachel York a huge Broadway star? Beautiful effortless voice and great acting skills. Get her " Let's Fall in Love" CD. Amazing!. Awaiting her second CD eagerly!!
So true: why is he not a huge Bradway star? Incredible stupidity of humans ...
Rachel York was the perfect "Kate" if ever there was one. What a great voice. Such a sense of drama. I never tire of watching this version of the show!
Rachel York really can belt out a magnificent Cole Porter tune. She is terrific.
This is my favourite rendition of 'So in Love.' I like how Rachel starts lower than other versions of this song so that she can show off her range when she reaches that high note. Rachel's acting is also superb.

Why does this woman not have a Tony?!?! That's crazy! I love Rachel York!!!
You are so right. And she clearly was robbed for Victor/Victoria.
this was london

How can someone look so beautiful and elegant while singing? 😩💖
This is probably my most favorite Cole Porter composition and, in my opinion, Rachel York sings this song the way it begs to be sung...bravo, Miss York!
I LOVE her. This really is a splendid version of this beautiful song. Cole lives in my heart.
Hi 😃 11 years later are you still here? ❤️
@@SuriyaLinhStudios I'm here right this second!
@@bgbreakdown OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE YOU WROTE THAT COMMENT 11 YEARS AGO THATS CRAZY AHHHHH 😩✋
@@SuriyaLinhStudios And I'm writing it from a different continent.
And to display her INCREDIBLE acting skills. She was amazing in this performance. Stunning.
She's fantastic, and the song is one of my favourite Cole Porter songs :)
Agreed: she's a born diva, however the music industry seems to be blind!
Not only a superb singer but indescribably beautiful as well! Gosh!

"So in love" with this performance! Wowzers!
The voice is captivating. She is
Marvelous. Thank you for sharing ❤ ♥ 😊
phenomenal !! as a student of porter's music, i've heard plenty of renditions of this song that cover the entire "quality" range. suffice to say, i have not heard better.

Maybe she is a mezzo too. Although they are in range, it can make high notes tricky. They need to be planned strategically. Her voice is lovely.
I'm obsessed with the woman, She is amazing!
What a voice... Amazing... And what a beautiful woman.... And finally what a beautiful song of Cole Porter
I love this interpretation of one of the most beautiful songs of the great Cole Porter.
I've been a fan for many years and I must say Ms. York has it all.....a talented actress with a gorgeous voice and she's stunningly beautiful. It doesn't get any better than that!

I've been obsessed with her since last January when I saw her in Camelot!

Wow!...what a voice, best version I have ever heard.
What a beautiful song. This was new to me so a lovely discovery.
Just saw her in "Anything Goes" as she was mesmerizing!!
I saw Rachel in VICTOR/VICTORIA. She played Norma and was hysterical.
I like this interpretation. I hope to sing this an octave down tomorrow (7pm, Bebop night club Boston Ma., I am called the legend of Bebop (85 years old starting learning how to sing Feb 2019 forced to retire).
well THAT was gorgeous.
I saw Rachel perform today in the musical 'Hello Dolly". She sounds so much more amazing in person :)
Rachel York completely sold me on this song. I'm doing it for my grade 10 RCM exam!!
Rachel York my love! The best actress
Absolutely wonderful performance and voice!
@JackieBorelli OMG I know...I saw this production on DVD at my College(Musical Theater course) and I fell in love with not only the musical, but Rachel's performance...When I finally got the chance to see the movie, katherine grayson, while eternally beautiful did not in my opinion measure up vocally.
I love her voice! Very touching!
Rachel York es la voz mas hermosa del planeta!
I swear, the only reason she was in the revival of Kiss Me, Kate was to make people jealous with her gorgeous voice. :(

Yeah, Aaron's in one of those ones talking about that switch when all TV signals are going digital and older sets will need one of those converters.
Thanks for confirming!
