With Händels "Calm thou my soul" as underlying music she speakes a little about herself and takes a small relaxing trip on the citys waters wich leed to the new operabuilding.
However all her performings in this serie are from the "Radiohouse' Concerthall".

  • If she's concerned about european style (what's that?) why does she sing in that manner?

  • I wonder how else she should sing it? She performed the piece beautifully.

  • This is such a beautiful video! Her singing is the perfect commentary for an interview.

  • she is my mom.

  • She was considering Norma and was told by Marilyn Horne, in no uncertain terms, NOT to do it. She sings the dramatic soprano aria, Casta Diva. beautifully but is unlikely to struggle with the physical stress of a whole onstage Norma as her voice is not suited to it. You don't have to sing Norma to be a "great" soprano. You have to be a great "dramatic soprano" to sing Norma. Renee is a "lyric soprano" similar in vocal qualities and repertoire preferences to Elisabeth Schwartzkopf.

  • yikes that must difficult having kid with her schedule i imagine!

  • Yes...very funny to hear her discuss style, which is by far the least compelling aspect of her performances. The sliding and scooping are distressing to me.

  • Bless you Olfux for posting such a nice, touching and lovely tribute.
