This song is terrifically heart-wrenching! The opera is so sad. Fleming portrays the young girl's naivety and innocence perfectly.

her voice reminds me of leontyne price, just beautiful

It's hard for me to decide if 2004-2008 is my favorite Renee voice period or if 1994-1998 was her greatest time...and seeing/listening to this makes me wonder if she's ever been quite this unfettered and raw. She is simply stunning. After 20 years on the international stage, she's still one of the greats. What a woman.

@kaj151 Agree 100% -- but don't forget her divine "Marietta's Lied" too ;)

Back in the day, watching this broadcast on TV was exactly the moment I fell in love with Renee Fleming.

@soundlogik me too, me too.

Her brilliance here is just exquisite!!! I have been in love with her timbre and musicianship for years. Her pianissimos are to DIE for!!!
-
this proves that she truly is one of the greats!

truly, truly gorgeous!
Brilliance! I know some people love to pick on Renee, but I'm one of those people that I don't care what she's selling, I want it. Whatever she's serving, I'll take it and it never disappoints me. But here, she may be at her absolute best. This aria and her 'Depuis le Jour' are her finest I think. The lines just suit her voice unlike any other.
