@primovoce1 "vocal problems are developing"? You do realize that this performance was in 2001! Taking a bit of time for those "vocal problems" to have an impact.
-
@primovoce1 I hate to agree because I absolutely adore Fleming, but.... I agree with the diction comment entirely, it's in early stages of going out the window if she doesnt start going back to her basics
-
There's no doubt that the conductor is definitely in charge of this performance.
Still, I know every single word of this aria, and yet couldn't understand a single word she sings once the aria waxes "operatic." Her diction is starting to resemble Sutherland's, but she doesn't possess the glorious sound Sutherland made. Also the tongue movements (4:04) tied to her sustained notes indicates vocal problems are developing.
I would love to have heard her post-performance convo with the conductor.

The character is not necessarily a young girl. Hence the line "for time's flight is stealing my youth".
-
@carriek911 however Renee has a clarity to each and every pitch and her phrasing is unlike any other, I adore her!
-
I used to love Dawn Upshaw but have found her tendency to scoop notes to provide dramatic emphasis a bit much.
-
A Full Lyric..but she is suppose to be a young girl..so often sung by litter voices..but the soaring lines and orchestra call for more of a full
-
I think she took this song way too slowly. I love her voice but sometimes don't get her timing. Still love her tho.

She took this aria slowly because she CAN. She's actually trying to take it slower: Her breath control is a miracle. However, the conductor is NOT helping her by pushing her around. He's not following her AT ALL.
