She is one of the few singers who I can FEEL the emotion rather than having to look up the words to actually get what emotion the music is trying to tell you. She is one of my favs.

Haha...when she says "Schubert tune", the pianist quotes "Gretchen am Spinnrade." She's an amazing singer! One of the best communicators of text I have ever seen!

Reneee has a gorgeous voice and she's also nice on the eyes. Her trio in Der Rosenkavalier is off the chart. She sings well here but my feeling is that she is trying too hard to blend a "jazzy" sense within the confines of a classicaly trained voice. There are very few singers who can mix such disparate musical genres as jazz and classical. Renee isn't one of them.

To all the people who don't think an opera singer should sing jazz: Isn't Jazz about individual self-expression? Why does this song have to sound a certain way? Just because Ms. Fleming is interpreting it in an operatic style doesn't mean it's wrong or bad.

Great classics can be read in several different ways. As a matter of fact, I assure you that Ms Fleming departs from the score to a much lesser extent that most performers. I find her performance touching, elegant, and technically impeccable, albeit "lyrical" sounding voices are unfortunately no longer fashionable in jazz singing (they once were!). Ellington would have been delighted.

Merci!

Mrs. Fleming, please PLEASE stop doing this. Thank you.
Yes. She puts such emotion into everything, it is a joy to watch as well as listen.
