[JordanSean]

This is such a beautiful video! Her singing is the perfect commentary for an interview.

[violinist1990]

I want Renee Fleming to be my mom! lol

[blancheett]

she is my mom.

[Babs22h]

yikes that must difficult having kid with her schedule i imagine!

[franciscusliszt]

If she's concerned about european style (what's that?) why does she sing in that manner?

[Olfux]

I wonder how else she should sing it? She performed the piece beautifully.

[xgianpatrick]

Yes...very funny to hear her discuss style, which is by far the least compelling aspect of her performances. The sliding and scooping are distressing to me.

[GoldenAgeSunshine]

Bless you Olfux for posting such a nice, touching and lovely tribute.

Hey check out my video of me singing Zueignung at my high school talent show.(leave a comment)

i sense that Ms Flaming is now at the height of her powers. she had better make a go of Norma before it is to late. The greatest soprano of this day...

[w7md]

She was considering Norma and was told by Marilyn Horne, in no uncertain terms, NOT to do it. She sings the dramatic soprano aria, Casta Diva. beautifully but is unlikely to struggle with the physical stress of a whole onstage Norma as her voice is not suited to it. You don't have to sing Norma to be a "great" soprano. You have to be a great "dramatic soprano" to sing Norma. Renee is a "lyric soprano" similar in vocal qualities and repertoire preferences to Elisabeth Schwartzkopf.

[CHerbek]

are those tears in her eyes at the end?

[CHerbek]

where is the rest of this interview??
