  • If you woulld only try to listen and enjoy a bit more in both this music and the beauty of her voice and performance instead of trying to judge everything and everyone you might actually realise how beautiful this is in its own way - AS A SINGER, I CAN ONLY SAY THAT EVERY BIRD SINGS WITH ITS OWN VOICE AND HERS IS SPECIAL AND UNIQUE!!!

  • You stand corrected ;)...Gundula Janowitz's recording is my favorite.

    And I LOVE all of Renee Fleming's interpretations of the work. Her two recordings along with her work here and with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Eschenbach at Carnegie Hall in 2004.

    They are certainly different, and I have my reasons why Janowitz is my favorite...but Renee Flemings are, musically, so intelligent that I can't help but be moved by them.

  • What an incredible voice. Absolutely stunning. He, who doesn't like this, has not the faintest idea of how beauty sounds.

  • If you watch Renee sing this, she sings it all from her heart. She is definately unique in her interpretation - but that to me what makes it so completely astounding

  • Шикарная певица!

  • It is strange to me that Fleming is an excellent exponent of Strauss opera and yet here she totally misses the mark and flops big time! I can't put my finger on it, but it may be that she is trying to operafy lieder and it doesn't work. Listen to Te Kanawa and Norman here on You Tube and hear their glorious renditions, which capture all the pathos, the passion, the joy and the pain of growing old and even in their youth they are able to portray what Strauss is conveying, but not Fleming.

  • Absolutlely Beautifully executed!!!

  • As a singer, she is great, I am a voice couch and she is almost perfect

  • @lamusicahera you are absolutly right !!!!

  • horn solo knocks me dead every single time.simply outstanding

  • @Tonioo84 I agree with you. Renée Fleming is an extraordinary woman and musician, her sensitivity is so perfectly rendered in her singing, it makes me shiver every time. True her voice can sound surprising to some people, but it is absolutely beautiful also because of this strangeness.

    The combination of this amazing music and her voice is, to me, one of the best renditions of what the language of the soul is.

  • the horn solo.....

    what can i say... simply beautiful :) <3 it gives me goose bumps..
