Renee Fleming & Robert Lloyd "Pardon! Mais j'étais là..." Manon

[hullguy123]

Wow!! Robert Lloyd French is so perfect. I thought he was French.. but his name says not.

[Evitasoprano]

To be honest, I don't like it. I think Fleming here lacks naturalness. For me, Manon, has a natural charm and something very youthful. I normally like Fleming, but here I think, she seems all wrong and a bit forced. I'm singing this myself at the moment and I'm looking for some role models. Thanks for posting, anyway.

Extraordinaria en este papel! Bravo Fleming!

On oublie fantástico!

Fleming is sounding like Schwarzkopf here!

More in the throat...pitty.

She doesnt need to do that!

I thinks she is one of our best sopranos of this time.

Maybe because of the French language?

[miamichobit]

She looks like she's lost weight in this performance, it could have to do with that, possibly. Her support may be different.

[andreasscholl]

Could be...

In the later solo aria it sounds better though.

@andreasscholl The vowels are more and more like Schwarzkopf all the time-- I don't get it.
