Renee Fleming "Marietta´s Lied" Die tote Stadt

[inshallahojala]

lo del minuto 2:29 - 2:34 es que se le va la afinación a alguno o tiene que sonar así? (desconozco la música de Korngold)

[inshallahojala]

no va a ser éste un comentario muy erudito, pero no puedo resistirme a ponerlo, qué buen rollo transmite esta mujer...

[a9z8a743]

Renee Fleming is so enchanting to watch and listen to.

I'll keep any other comments to myself.

I cryed a lot, made me feel good , thinking of my Bibbi

[MrAndredekock]

This really is not a beautiful rendition of this sublime music. Take a leaf out of Dame Kiri's interpretation Ms Fleming, or study your compatriot's divine version, Ms Sills!

[TolleStimme]

Versethe kein Wort sie singt.

Anna-Sofie von Ottern ist viel besser. :-)

[estherochagavia]

DIVINA , PERFECTA .

[aristopus]

We can discern from this poetry and music that love is much like an ephemeral fragrant flower. It blooms and dies.

[sincrotto]

Splendido legato e suono magnifico. D'altra parte è una grande personalità del teatro lirico.

[orvtimlaw]

Such a beautiful interpretation. She definitely makes this her OWN. Her expression lends so much to the interpretation. Bravo. LOVE THIS!

[qklq42]

This is a truly divine performance that makes time stand still. I am also a great fan of the wonderful baritone aria performed by Stephan Genz.

[SFT24]

In all the praise for Flemings performance, let's not forget to be greatful to composer E.W. Korngold for writing one of the most beautiful arias (actually, its a duet) of the 20th century

[johnhoubo]

I cryed during this wonderful performance. It helped , Thank you

She sings this piece like noone else. Period. Look at how she's fighting back the tears. But to me her definite performance of this aria was at the Met's 125th Anniversary celebration. She got as close to the heavens as any singer has ever come before. What a gift this lady is.

[meltzerboy]

Whatever one might think of Fleming's voice and style, and however one might criticize her for singing certain things she has no business singing, I think one must admit she excels in this music. Thanks for posting!

1

Joy, that near to me remains,

Come to me, my true love.

Night sinks into the grove

You are my light and day.

Anxiously beats heart on heart

Hope itself soars heavenward.

How true, a sad song.

The song of true love,

that must die.

[Onegin65]

2 I know the song. I heard it often in younger, in better days. It has yet another verse-- Do I know it still? Though sorrow becomes dark, Come to me, my true love. Lean (to me) your pale face Death will not separate us. If you must leave me one day, Believe, there is an afterlife.

[punknn08]

@Onegin65 Thanx

[TheHenrylaycock]

well, yes, but it should really make you THIRST for more.,, MUCH more.... Cheers!

[ShawDAMAN]

Quite good.

[TheHenrylaycock]

hauntingly rich and velvety, strong espresso topped with thick rich cream and served up on the finest silken rug

[operarus33184]

What She does with the line at 4:15 just makes me wild. Words fail.

[anasconuto]

This is one of my favorites arias ever.. It's so magic.. It came tears to my eyes every time that I hear it!!

"came to me, my true love"

[kjm5x5x]

wow....I think she had tears at the end.

beautiful.....

[emilleds]

It makes me cry a lot! Renee is so intense... her eyes... Divina!

[estherochagavia]

maravillosa , dulce y mil veces maravillosa.

[Dashingdiva73]

she makes this aria look so easy ! I hope to singing that way! back to the practice room!

[klop890]

very beautifull, but a little bit too slow!

[montsyblackmadonna]

It's is not to slow,it is perfection,in every way !

[violinist1990]

Wow, that is absolutely breathtaking! I love this piece!

[Diotima555]

Bravissimo ! Her german is perfect and her expression very very soulful ! Thank you for posting !!!

[Homoclassicus]

Fleming's voice always shine in this kind of music. This is one of the arias that most fit her lush and smooth timbre and expressivity. Her suave and reflexive stage manner also blends perfectly with this melody. What I most admire in her singing is that she sounds in live recordings just as good as she is in her studio recordings. :-)

[distantm]

bravissimo bravissimo!

[mrrk]

Just stunning. Wonderfull.

[MusicaParola]

This is a lovely performance.

[lady00010]

Thank you so much, this is wonderful, and so intensely moving as love admitted only to be denied.

[andreasscholl]

This is sooooooo intents.

Fleming on a journey, and she takes us by the hand!

See the reflection in her eyes?

And the hand on her chest, fold together.

Thats a true musician!
