Music reviews of Ren?e Fleming - Signatures ~ Great Opera Scenes / Sir Georg Solti
Music Review: Still evolvilng on this album...
Rating: 2 Stars
I'm surprised at the generally positive tone of the other reviews on this particular album. Maybe it's for the selection rather than the singing? I feel that present day Renee has matured into one of the great divas of our time, but on this album, she still sounds thin, strained, working too hard! Compare her singing on this, done in 1997, with her more recent recordings, such as her complete Traviata done with Rolando Villazon, and Renato Bruson,or her complete Eugene Onegin done with Vargas and Hvorostovsky, and you will hear a world of difference, much more relaxed, assured, mellowed, richness of tone!
Description of Ren?e Fleming - Signatures ~ Great Opera Scenes / Sir Georg Solti
As the possessor of one of the great lyric soprano voices of our time, soprano Ren?e Fleming is in demand in the world's great opera houses. (It doesn't hurt that she's also lovely and a fine actress.) This album is an outstanding collection of great arias, ravishingly sung. It shows something of Fleming's range, including as it does music by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Dvor?k (the sumptuous "Song to the Moon" from Rusalka, the best part of the entire opera, and sung here in definitive fashion), Verdi, Britten (an effective "Embroidery Scene" from Peter Grimes), and Richard Strauss. This disc is a good starting point for someone seeking to learn more about operatic singing, and a valuable addition to the library of anyone already converted. Fleming is given strong support by mezzo-soprano Larissa Diadkova, baritone Jonathan Summers, and by the late Sir Georg Solti in one of his last recordings. --Sarah Bryan MillerGeneral CDs
