classical music: Renee Fleming ...     classical music:       Movie Adagios8 reviews Julian Lloyd Webber, Janos Starker, ... Decca, 2001 One of the best CDs you'll ever own This is an excellent selection of music. I listen to it every chance I get. It is great just to put in your CD player on "repeat" and allow it to soothe and inspire you for a few hours, for an evening, or an for entire day. One reason I chose it was that I was looking for music that could simply be a nice background noise for when I'm working on things that require reading and concentration. I ...             The #1 Opera Album43 reviews Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ... Decca, 2001 The best gift ever. I purchased this CD as a birthday gift for my sister. Because I personally know nothing about opera, I didn't know how to buy a single opera for her, or even which one she would like if I did know how to get it. So I settled on this "sampler" style Cd, and she just loved it. This is the best of the best of all opera arias and performances. My sister plays it all the time, and I think it is ...             Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments17 reviews Rapture-Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Indeed I have more experience with other genres of music, but am interested in basically all kinds. I have been collecting CDs for nearly 2 decades but had no Opera in my collection. I did a little research and arrived at a conclusion. If I wanted the most and best Opera music for my money, I had to get this title, which is a double album, and "The Most Famous Opera Duets". Well, the latter was a ...             Verismo20 reviews Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini, Pietro Mascagni, ... Decca, 2009 Superb As always Ms. Fleming shows her art in top form. This record is a must for all Fleming fans and others that enjoy music. She delivers with grace, power and subtlety. Amazing portamento.             Tchaikovsky - Eugene Onegin / Fleming, Vargas, Hvorostovsky, Gergiev, Carsen [Metropolitan Opera 2007]41 reviews Renee Fleming, Ramon Vargas Decca, 2007 wanderful performances Tchaikovsky - Eugene Onegin / Fleming, Vargas, Hvorostovsky, Gergiev, Carsen [Metropolitan Opera 2007] It is very nice to watch a DVD with beautiful scenery; but it is also true that you can get distracted, that is why even the scenography was very simple, I was more focused on the artist's performance, there singing, and acting, and also the drama, for those reasons I enjoyed so much, the ...             Cecilia Bartoli: Sacrificium16 reviews Various, Giovanni Antonini, ... Decca, 2009 New Opera Listener I heard an interview with Cecilia Bartoli on NPR about two months ago and was fascinated by it. She spoke of the castrati singers who I knew a little about because of a course available on opera done by "The Teaching Company" by Robert Greenberg. (I'm new to opera but it's possible to learn much in little time between courses like this, inexpensive downloads and live HD opera at theaters. You ...             Colbran, the Muse9 reviews Gioachino Rossini, Edoardo Müller, ... Virgin Classics, 2009 AMAZING!! Miss DiDonato sings the most difficult vocal music written by Rossini, inspired by the legendary contralto/mezzo/high soprano Isabella Colbran. Miss DiDonato sings incredibly well, her voice is of first quality and her agility is out of this world, truly a golden age singer for the 21st century. The stand outs for me are the Armida numbers which truly showcase her incredible range, as well as ...             Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces24 reviews Fritz Dolezal, Peter Schmidl, ... Decca, 2001 Good times I just cant say enough about this collection. It used to be that you had to spend a fortune to get Mozart's best hits; a few on each album. Now, you can buy them all at once and dirt cheap! very nice             Verdi - Otello / Domingo, Fleming, Morris, Croft, Levine, Moshinsky, Metropolitan Opera30 reviews Plácido Domingo, Renée Fleming Deutsche Grammophon, 2004 Excelent DVD Verdi - Otello / Domingo, Fleming, Morris, Croft, Levine, Moshinsky, Metropolitan Opera Outstanding video. The acting and singing are very good and convincing. Otello's troubled personality which goes from love to jealousy, anger and finally to murder and suicide is well performed by Placido Domingo. Morris and Renne Fleming are of equally great, he has played a manipulative and evil ...             Verdi - La Traviata36 reviews Renee Fleming, Rolando Villazon Decca, 2007 Bravo! Magnificent! Completely in keeping with what most opera lovers expect. Beautiful costumes and decors and a spine chilling rendering of Verdi's music.             Prima Donna: First Ladies of Opera1 review Renée Fleming, Anna Netrebko, ... Decca Records, 2010 A good CD for car listening This double CD is stuffed with 30 arias for $14; you have an option of downloading MP3s of each aria for 99 cents. Thus you'd pay twice as much per track to download only your favorites. All the numbers are good or better. What I like about these samplers is the way you can compare favorite arias and singers with recordings of complete operas you already own. Those arias you aren't familiar ...             Renee Fleming: By Request43 reviews Vincenzo Bellini, Alfredo Catalani, ... Decca, 2003 The Best of Renee Fleming This is a compilation of Renee Fleming's best works. I got it primarily for Rusalka's song to the Moon (O Silver Moon) but all the other arias are just perfect. She sings her classic, "Summertime" from Porgy & Bess (another of my favorites) so perfectly and "You'll Never Walk Alone" (she even sang this one at Barak Obama's inauguration ceremony. If you want to hear some of the most famous arias ...             Sacred Songs61 reviews Charles Gounod, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Decca, 2005 Marvelous Renee Flemming's voice is a gift to us from God. As a professional singer myself, I am inspired by her and am in awe of her gift. I hope she makes many more recordings and is able to sing for a very long time.             Verdi: La Traviata - Los Angeles Opera Orchestra & Chorus [Blu-ray]4 reviews Renato Bruson, Renée Fleming Decca, 2009 This is a region free disk The region code listed above is incorrect. It is a Region Code 0 disk and plays fine on US Blu-ray players.             Haunted Heart60 reviews Renée Fleming, Fred Hersch, ... Decca, 2005 " With Eileen Farrell whispering in her ear" I began to appreciate this cd with the 2nd listening. I wasn't immediately impressed. Renee Fleming has one of the greatest voices in opera history. Her Marschallin has no equal. Many opera singers have crashed when attempting a different musical style. For me, the reason is they use their operatic voice to sing the new style. This produces a "heavy", undesirable sound. When I heard Renee Fleming ...             Renée Fleming64 reviews Giacomo Puccini, Jules Massenet, ... Decca, 2000 The New La Divina Renee Fleming is the most sheerly beautiful voice in opera since Montserrat Caballe. Her Casta Diva is stunning, and the high note at the end of Merci jeune amies is pure virtuoso. I love her Puccini, Massenet and Verdi as well. Fleming said that she doesn't class herself amongst "the greats", but I do!             Four Last Songs26 reviews Richard Strauss, Christian Thielemann Decca, 2008 Fleming/Strauß I have always been a fan of Renée Fleming, and so I had great expectations for this recording. They were exceeded from the moment I started listening, and they haven't diminished after several listenings. Her artistry is absolutely perfect for Richard Strauß' music - as sensitive and powerful as a mezzo can be.             Mozart - Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) / Haitink, Finley, Hagley, Fleming, Glyndebourne ...50 reviews Gerald Finley, Alison Hagley Kultur Video, 2003 Mozart's Marriage of Figaro Excellent DVD of an excellent production of The Marriage of Figaro. Just like I was in the theater.             Eugene Onegin, by Tchaikowsky (Metropolitan Opera Live in HD) [Blu-ray]10 reviews Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Renée Fleming Decca, 2008 Tchaikovsky's masterpiece-- a Fleming triumph ! Ordinarily I avoid operatic productions with minimalist settings and avant garde stage directors like the plague, but this staging of Eugene Onegin by the Metropolitan Opera proved that sparse settings used imaginatively with sympathetic lighting can be very effective and even , dare I say, beautiful. Take the opening scene: to portray the rustic Larin estate, a bare stage thickly strewn with red ...             Dark Hope Renee Fleming Decca, 2010 One of the World's Great Voices Puts Her Indelible Signature On Songs By Arcade Fire, Band of Horses, Death Cab For Cutie, The Mars Volta, Muse, and of course, Leonard Cohen. Renée Fleming s new album 'Dark Hope', which the opera star describes as a visit to a new universe for her, will be released by Decca this spring.
