It all depends on ...( 6 months ago by BelliniNorma1)
It all depends on what she happens to be singing. I saw her at the MET in Bellini's IL PIRATA and I did not like her performance - at all ! The passagework was good but there was nothing to her interpretation. She is probably better at Mozart & Handel and maybe some of the French and Richard Strauss but I don't think that Italian Opera is really her type of repertoire - as much as she attempts to sing it.

Exactly... the only thing to talk about is the dress... I have nothing to say about Renee's voice. She is incredible and most of us aspiring singers would love to have a sand grain of her talent and artistry!

I love Flemming , but why oh why does she do the terrible sliding up to the note so often?
I adore this ...( 4 months ago by FoggyRoad81)
I adore this recording. But I have to say that people who say no one does it like her have not heard Leontyne Price's version of this aria. Flemming has been quoted as saying Price is a huge inspiration to her. And you can hear it in the way her voice is both large and light in her top. It's stunning to hear. Her and Price together own this.

Absolutely! I love how she is paying tribute to Price with this.

Pourquoi tant de sophistication et de minauderies??????????ecoutez la simplicité de Felicity Lott ( que je n'aime pas beaucoup d'habitude) c'est un modele!! C'est ça Louise!!!!

Peut- être parce que l'air lui-même (et l'opéra tout entier, "naturaliste" peut-être mais à mon sens surtout dégoulinant :)=) est sophistiqué et maniéré. Finalement, je trouve qu'elle ne détonne pas tant, il n'y a qu'à écouter les paroles. Ce qui ne dépare en rien la belle et sobre performanc e de Lott. C'est une affaire de goût, j'imagine...
"Depuis le jour," ...( 4 months ago by piax00)
"Depuis le jour," like the aria "O mio babbino caro," is often sung out of context, as a showcase for beautiful sound and legato. In concert form you don't get the feeling that "o mio babbino" is the aria of a manipulative 15 yr old girl. "Depuis le jour" in the opera has been rendered in a simple, gushy and excited style as opposed to sophisticated and langurous as we often hear it in many concerts and recordings.

Milked...and it got sour...sorry..there's a LIMIT to legato singing...now she cannot help herself with all those scoops and mannerisms...jazzy stuff...the voice is indeed lyrical, delightful to the ears..it is true..but there's an annoying factor there...

This is pure opera and its absolutely wonderful. She has the guts to sing emotion and happiness and vulnerability in an age which shies away from emotion. She's fantastic. I have seen Felicity and she hasn't got 1/10 of the beauty of Miss Fleming's voice. Wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this.
