  • I am not a great fan of Fleming at all but for some reason, i think she makes the *best* Countess Almaviva ever .. it takes a pretty "easy" voice and solid technique to sing in such a relaxed pose as well! Her acting is absolutely astounding and her voice is so beautiful. Such a moving performance, i'm actually crying while i'm writing.

  • What a wonderful,wonderful artist! Her intonation is always perfect and in total accord with the pitch of the orchestra.On top of everything she is also beautiful.I adore her!

  • She sang this while she was pregnant...Daaaang! Now THAT is skill!

  • Renee fleming in the 90's. There is actually nothing like it!

  • I'm not a fan of hers, but I love hear Renee in this role... Her breath never ends, it's beautiful! :)

  • She sings "Porgi amor" better than anyone else, absolutely ANYONE! And I'm not even a great fan of hers. I just think she understands what the feeling for this piece is.

  • @mrdrodrigues /watch?feature=player_embedded­&v=AYKFmgF0MbM - this is the greatest countess of all time, Sena Jurinac!!!!

  • it's opera, you don't have to be a certain body size for this

  • OperaLover 84 - I love your comment! In her autobiography, Ms. Fleming described her voice as being a big net that she can cast out onto the audience to draw them into what she is singing. I had the pleasure if seeing her in Boston in February singing Strauss with the BSO and, my impression was that her voice is more like a big, warm, luxurious fur coat (I don't wear fur myself) that you just wanted to climb inside of and snuggle. Such yummy richess in her voice. Brava, indeed!

  • @LaHautevoix Love your description of Renee Fleming's voice - perfect!!

  • Mmm, like taffy!  Brava!

  • look at those boobs! LOL...very beautiful singing. I love hearing the countess with a rich tone

  • she was pregnant here, that's why ;)

  • she looks and sounds like a dream

  • she looks kinda heavy here..when was this?

  • Glyndeborne 1994.

  • Ma ragioni? Se dici così vuol dire che semplicemente non sei in grado di comprendere, ma in questo caso la colpa non è della muscia di Mozart...

  • Vedi nel mio sito quali sono i miei gusti e preferenze. Mozart nella lirica è uno dei meno

    rappresentati, questa aria è passabile,una delle sue migliori. TROVO CHE NON ABBIA MUSICA TOCCANTE E SENSIBILE, non paragonabile a Puccini e al verismo. Grazie. Walter.

  • Non sono d'accordo... Senti per esempio "O Isis und Osiris" o "Ach, ich fulhs" dallo Zauberflote... Ovvio, son due tipi di musica e anche di drammaticità completamente diversi, però non trovo che uno stile sia inferiore all'altro... Scusa per l'aggressività dell'intervento precedente, però non penso che Mozart sia meno toccante.. Ci sono anche alcune arie da concerto che meritano di essere ascoltate a questo proposito...

  • Quello che trovo ingiusto che Mozart sia posto

    al primo posto dei musicisti. sarà apprezzato

    più per le sinfonie e concerti. Ma le opere

    sue sono gran parte parlate e il resto musicale mediocre.I gusti non si discutono, si vede che il tuo DNA è piu toccato da Mozart. Mi perdoni tu

    e gli estimatori di Mozart. Scusa non dispresso dico quello che penso.

  • She captures the 'desperate housewife' look very well in this piece.
