It is something incredible to be near-say within 25 ft-of an opera soprano singing at full power. It turns your insides to jelly. The human voice-without electronic amplification-can be an unworldly instrument. How I would like to see Renee Fleming live on the stage.

I don't think you even need to be an opera fan to appreciate this. Truly amazing. And that she can hit the notes with such power and beauty and keep smiling is astounding!

[@FrancescoMarelli84]

Other than a fab voice, rendition and diction, it is clear she understands Italian language, because she stresses the words, and the emotions, exactly at the right times .... something that foreign opera singers, both male and female, not always ace no matter how sublime they sing. For me personally, and as an Italian and big fanboy of Italian language, this aspect is crucial when I listen to the song.

[@jhayashi177]

[@lindanorris2455]

RENEE ALWAYS GIVES ME CHILLS.

[@adamkeener6106]

I am blown away by that last note! Her mouth is completely closed! Her teeth are open and her face is open and she’s generating a ton of sound inside her mouth. But her mouth is closed! How the hell is that even possible?

[@musicaccount797]

Her lips are open, so her mouth isn't closed, and if it were, she'd be making an M sound. Sound is generated mostly with the vocal chords, and the mouth does most of the shaping. The mouth does generation when it's voiceless sounds like S, F, H. "Voiceless" basically means, no vocal chord. But she's not saying any of that, she's saying the vowel A in pieta! Vowels are almost always voiced (as in, powered by the vocal chords). So, of course, she can close her mouth partly with her teeth, and still make an A sound. You should try talking with your teeth stuck together for a moment, just for fun! You can do it with a big smile, or a frown. It's amusing, and you can still say so many sounds. In English, only very "dental" (toothy) sounds like TH are affected. There are some people who talk like this all the time, it can be sort of posh.

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

Stunning performance. I will always associate this piece of music with the film A Room With A View and my first visit to Florence a couple of years after seeing it. I also have a recording of my aunt singing this on the BBC light programme in the 1940s. Wonderful.

It is not possible to get that much precision to mix with that much passion. As Lauretta, she's in love and in conflict, she's simultaneously fascinated and in pain. I always thought that Victoria de Los Angeles was the best with this aria but the vulnerability and, well, sensuality of Renée Fleming's performance makes this my favorite.
