This has to be the worst performance of this version that i have heard.

The results are obvious. What we don't see is the hours it took to get to this level.

You know, this performance was the day she found out her voice teacher, Beverly Peck Johnson, passed away. Ms. Fleming describes the experience in her book, so when you say she can do it in her sleep it's almost accurate. In her book she says, "I don't even remember doing the performance and after it happened I just cried." So. Sad.

Have you seen the other video - Renee Fleming with Giergiev recording sessions? It's got Renee with the libera me - amazing espression, and her voice just suits it. It would be great to see/hear more of that recording.

it is so funny that Urmana is the mezzo here... because Renee was the best soprano I ever heard live in VRequiem till then and some years later Urmana was the other "soprano" that stole my heart (together with Renee) in VRequiem, when Violetta successfully changed Fach.
All this talk about sopranos and would be sopranos. Has anyone stopped to listen to the Base? I think Pape is quite phenomenal. He makes singing sound so effortless and the voice pours out. He can lighten his voice one moment and then going down a scale get darker

If you ever hear Claudio Abbado conduct, you would know your life was complete.
