I appreciate this so much! Whether we like the cd or not, the fact that an opera singer could get so far in their career that they are able to explore this side at such a high commercial level should be something we all tip our hat to. She is bringing new people and publicity to the opera world, a world that will die out if we don't do something to plug the new generation in. So, thank you Renee Fleming!
Not really an opera fan but as a guy who loves gorgeous women Renee gets MY attention---could get lost in that smile and those eyes without hesitation!
kudos to Renee...There is a canadian soprano who has been fusing an operatic voice to rock like radiohead to mozart ...... difference is that she uses her 4 octave soprano patriziamusic
She is not as talented as a pop singer than she is as an opera singer.Her pop voice is great, with big tone (proof opera singing is totally disconnected from the reality, especially for women) but nothing extraordinnary like Whitney Houston or Barbara Streisand. Can an opera singer belt?
Yes, I agree. Mid-life crisis? She's my opera idol. But I do not like her singing this way. I can't even recognize her voice. If it wasn't for live video, I'd fight ya till I was blue in the face that this wasn't her.
