Renee Fleming sings Amazing Grace at WTC

[JoshuaH688]

I feel moved as I watch this... and then I stop myself for a moment, and I realize; I'm listening to handsomely acted interviews and stirring music. I am hearing about people's feelings and being moved by a combination of visual, audio, and vocal effects. I am observing an event of destruction being turned into a spectacle of cinematic drama; and I sense beyond the beauty of it, beyond the genuineness, that something is wrong with this. It somehow resonates eerily as propaganda.

@JoshuaH688 I understand your feeling completely! All I can tell you is that you should watch the entire PBS Frontline program that this came from ... it is the most powerful, thought provoking piece you will ever see in your life! There is no 'preaching' or predictable, well scripted, heard-that-before chatter. It's two hours of amazing, multi-perspective, intellectual exploration. You'll wind up buying the video.

The video is on-line; search for Frontline "Faith and doubt at

ground zero"

Her Uncle and I are real good friends. What a Beautiful Voice!

[courag1]

What an overwhelming solo and that she was able to keep her composure and minister to so many!

[PeteHaase]

What a beautiful soul! I've always felt that about her, but this totally solidifies that feeling. And with the anniversary just behind us coupled with the Wall Street greed & protests... a reminder that the world needs more depth/truth to get us to the next level.

[Superbowler08]

GOOD GRIEF!!! Let it go already! It's been over 10 freakin' years!!!

[TheWisemonkey8]

Rene Fleming is such a wonderful artist, humanitarian and human being...

Thank for encapsulating the feeling of an entire people in your art...

Thank you...

I wish God helps these families to have peace in their mind, helps these families to go thru the pain and look forward.

[hop208]

What's the song at the end with the violins called??

[dnworks]

@hop208 It is Barber's "Adagio, Op. 11"

[hop208]

@dnworks Thanks!

[fireblossom2u]

I dearly love this human treasure named Renee Fleming.

[96meimei]

Yeah loved it still crying as I type RF is truly the best and the mother oh my how that tugs on your heartstrings

[OperaPrimadonna17]

This woman is my idol. I was bawling. She was so honest I could feel the pain. Also, the other woman's words really touched me.

[trickyfocus]

sorry......But being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to see beyond the imperfections

[tombwomb]

Thank you dnworks for sticking to that standard. Thank you for the video too.. It's so very sad watching this. I hope we can live in a more peaceful world someday soon for all our sakes.

[jennygwinnutt]

thankyou for putting this video on, it really touched me, very emotional sung my such a beautiful voice thankyou !

[trickyfocus]

i'm glad they shot the bastard in the head ...... i hope he saw it coming and for a split second i hope it hurt, And may he burn in hell, one of the most evil men lived.

[dnworks]

@trickyfocus ... I understand your feelings, but as a matter of principle I prefer not to have

vitriolic comments in my channel. I would appreciate if you can accomodate my request.

Thanks,

Dimitrios

incredibly sad.... 

[highvoice46]

Music is powerful. When words can't say, music does it and does it well. Salute to Renee that brings such deep, strong feelings from those that hear her with her beautiful, powerful, haunting voice. Music Artists, you don't just sing; you touch hearts. I, too, sobbed.

[dnworks]

If you are interested, you should watch the entire PBS Frontline

program that this came from ... it is the most powerful, thought

provoking piece you will ever see in your life!

This is haunting, chilling & beautiful. Gave me goosebumps.

[crazyoldbastard]

Being a native New Yorker and retired from NYPD I was deeply moved by this video.

I have always loved Renee Fleming, I was moved to tears watching this,

It is a testament to her professionalism that she didn’t break down while singing.

[jerallovesyou]

this is a beautiful, PERFECT example of WHY we sing. thank you so much!

[MrMaxwellnith]

Ms. Fleming is a splendid Person who can also sing like an Angel. She did a great deed for millions in singing that Day.

[kgmcal315]

This made me cry. The beauty of her voice in all the ugliness of ground zero.

[ohbelamusic]
