Renee Fleming sings "Rejoice graetly" Messiah by Handel

She is such an inspiration! I can say from experience, this is NOT the easiest song to sing~ and she does it with such expression and grace! :) I'm about to sing this for a concert in Seal Beach, and most of my inspiration comes from her~ I think she sings this the best that I've heard!

Her singing voice reminds me of Dame Kire ka nawa the New Zealander that sung for royallty. Ive accompanied a singer to this movement and it's not as easy as it's sounds.

sie sollte Verdi und Tschaikovski singen

Kathleen Battle owns this girl..and is a real Soprano.

This is Incredible.......i mean, can you see those pitches, its just beautiful. Bravo Gurl.......

Well said!!! Thank you for saying that!!!

I did not really enjoy this version, Sylvia McNair does it in a different way! Check it out

Am I the only one who just wants her to get rid of all the histrionics and just let go of that gorgeous instrument and SING?!

im with you!!!! I was here wondering if somehow i was listening to a different recording form everybody else. this was not incredible. it was bad- the melodrama, the unnecessary turns and thrills, the butchering, aghhhh!!!!
Come on Renee. Lets get Handel right.

eww!!! whats with the wobbling its awful!!! i dont hear any notes just wobbling terrible ugh!!!
