  • Rich tone but no dyanmic. Go to Ms Baez to here the sad story in this song. The tone of Renee's voice here is very emotional but her phrasing has a bad case of constipation.

  • Oh no no no no.....

  • Renee's voice is lovely when she's singing Strauss, Berg and Mozart; however, my ears have grown "too accustomed" to her sound in the concert genre to appreciate what she brings to "Moon/Mistress". It's quite beautiful in and of itself, but honestly has me looking for other vocalists' renditions to hear their approach and treatment of such a lovely song. I wouldn't dismiss her recorded performance (as hopefully no one would), but in terms of her vocal timbre the song doesn't seem to fit.

  • Best version is Radka Toneffs...among the best voices in the last 50 years! Pity she died young.

  • I have noticed that Renee Fleming has strong sub-harmonics even when she sings the soprano repertoire. I am thinking in particular of her recording of Richard Strauss's "Four Last Songs."

    BTW, unlike some of you, I like the way she sings this Jimmy Webb song. I can't say I like all the songs on that CD, but that has to do with my dislike for the songs themselves, no matter who sings them.

  • There a many opera singers who can sing pop - she ain't one

  • I've got to agree-this is not good.

  • Wow, she nails it. Thank you for posting. I have to buy this recording.

  • this is sublime

    excellent

    very uncommon an opera singer can use their lower register well, or sing non-classical material

    this is beautiful

  • Turgid
