Renée Fleming and Evgeny Kissin - Ave Maria

[@joandebruin3847]

I closed my eyes and heard an angel singing Ave Maria❤

[@geoffcunningham3157]

World's best soprano. Told you in the Crane library you'd be famous, fall 1980 semester. You've always earned it!

[@ApollonianLover81]

@Renée Fleming is a vocal legend--what a fresh, sweet, and shimmering vocal master--Thank you Renée, thank you Evgeny!

[@joserico282]

Her voice is still exquisite. She makes this look so easy. Brava diva.

[@aneashumm203]

Heartbreaking. Soooooo beautiful.. Mrs. Fleming you are a light during this dark time.

[@beatlessteve1010]

Wow there are absolutely no words to describe this incredible feeling upon hearing this ...just stunned and for the time it played in my ears I could completely forget all else on my mind.

[@barbaragauhl6175]

So beautiful ❤️ Thank you Renée Fleming 🌹

[@Giftbrain54000]

Ohh yeah she really done a great work. You really look beautiful in your profile and I would love to know you more😊

[@TheCaithleen]

He knew all the passion would leave her face and go into her voice......Tony Morrison....I never forgot these words from one of her books.....as now I witness them.....Brilliant

[@jessecastaneda6473]

I'm also sheltering in place as the primary caretaker of my elderly uncle of 86 years. You and Evgeny warmed our hearts this afternoon and made us both feel that we're not alone. Thank you, together, we'll all see this through.

[@olegcaetani]

Kissin has a beautiful bass voice when he speaks

[@loveispatient0808]

Yes bass baritone!!😀

[@TGuich]

Absolutely stoked to get to attend her performance here in Fl. Can’t wait

[@beatlessteve1010]

Keeping away from our loved ones for small periods of time can have the pleasant effect of making the heart fonder..Thank you for this wonderful presentation!

[@onlyelaine]

Renee, I miss the old days that I saw your performance at Metropolitan Opera. At first, I fell in love with your beautiful voice at opera 'Susanna'. Thank you for sharing beautiful music.😍🙆‍♀️

[@operacrossth9162]

Thank you so much for this emotional tribut! Would have loved to see you live in Munich last march, but obviously it couldn't take place. All the best 🌹

Such a wonderful tribute to those that are helping keep victims alive. Thank you so much Renée and Evgeny! So touching.

[@colinleo5583]

Beautiful Schubert - thank you Evgeny and Renee for sharing your spirit with us!

[@Homoclassicus]

What a stunning rendition of this song, which never ends to move us listeners! It sounds and looks so heartfelt, grieving but gentle and merciful, full of sadness, but not despair, for there is also the sweetest pity and hope. Fleming's still the great legend of singing that she has been for over thirty years, and Kissin's piano playing is as amazing as ever.

[@kathleensteeves488]

We are so blessed to be able to hear them here, if anyone in Europe has a chance to see them in concert you are so lucky they are a once in a lifetime collaboration 😊😊❤❤❤❤they blend like a sacred flame ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you very much for your great music.

[@meagangriffin2170]

Thank you for your beautiful prayer, and in particular for including the verse that acknowledges Mary as the Mother of God - may she intercede for us with her Divine Son as only a mother can, and lead us to unity with Christ in heaven, as God has tasked Her. God bless

[@SR-jx8yu]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written; sung beautifully by a true diva and accompanied by a genius! Perfection!

[@danielwarshawsky8543]

So beautiful! Thank you!

Can't listen to this enough. Thank you Ms. Fleming and Mr. Kissin for this and for all you do.

I am still here. Always loved these two. Now more then ever. Her Struss Four Last Songs I have played 10 times at least this month is so beautiful, keeps me in HOPE.

[@ksh7011]

Thank you very much with all my heart. I would like to dedicate this breathtaking Ave Maria to my patients who are in the bed.

[@Rosangela161]

Voice and piano divines. Both interpreters marvelous. Thank you.

[@barryisland5942]

A beautiful performance as consolation for a world in tragedy.

[@jesusislordsavior6343]

Barry Island No, we should be repenting of our sins and turn to the ONE TRUE GOD, Who ALONE has authority to call off the pandemic------------------not to Mary the mother of Jesus. She was a woman of great faith, nevertheless she was a sinner like the rest of us. Jesus died for her as well as for the rest of us. Do not give in to the pious myth that she is some sort of 'goddess'. Therefore the text of this song is fit for the ash-heap. 'Mere religion' cannot save anyone from death, let alone hell. The same goes for 'art'. (1st Timothy 2:5) 'For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.'

@@jesusislordsavior6343 What a rude reply.

[@jesusislordsavior6343]

@@barryisland5942 I do believe that you meant well to say what you did, but I do not share your sentiment. Try to look beyond the peremptory nature of the reply to its content. I do not suppose that even a sugar-coated version would have pleased you. What is a person to do? Simply go along with the prevailing opinion? Is debate to be banished from a forum like this? People do not hesitate to 'get in my face' when I speak in good conscience, so I come expecting opposition.

[@mgedon2024]

@@jesusislordsavior6343 If God is the final judge as to who will make it to heaven, I have a feeling he/she will give people like Renee Fleming priority over you as I am sure that is the kind of heavenly voices he wants to surround his kingdom with.

When you needed a piano player, you got one of the best. His encores at the Royal Albert Hall were amazing.

[@SuperArkleo]

I will never forget Cherry duet Rene was singing with Pavarotti and the end scene from Eugene Onegin with Dima Khvorostovskii. Coronavirus is affecting everybody, but my memories, impressions, feelings of watching and listening to Rene will never be overshadoved by current events. She is always Marsheline for me singing the final trio from Der Rosencavalier

[@simonbailey8814]

In these difficult times, beauty is just what we need.

[@jesusislordsavior6343]

Simon Bailey Aesthetic beauty won't save anyone's life, or anyone's soul. (Romans 6:23) 'For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.' The act of ultimate beauty came about in circumstances of immense ugliness. This was foreordained, and the contrast was very deliberate. (Romans 5:8) 'For God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' Jesus was crucified, dead, buried, and rose on the third day, never to die again.

[@simonbailey8814]

Jesus is Lord & Savior Maybe don’t push your religious views here. It’s quite inappropriate.

[@jesusislordsavior6343]

@@simonbailey8814 How so, given that the present crisis is a matter of life and death for many? Do you have no thought of eternity yourself? Do not expect that everyone else ought to be indifferent, if you are. Who is really demonstrating 'intolerance' here? WHO are you to determine what is 'appropriate'? Am I doing something which is illegal? Then alert the 'appropriate' authorities, quickly. Even if you consider what I do as 'amoral', that is your point of view, not THE TRUTH. I have every right to say what I consider 'appropriate' here, and you have every right to respond or to IGNORE it, as you choose. I am not impinging on your 'rights' of 'free speech', and I will not accept intimidation, that I would give up mine. What is 'religion' to you? I do not consider myself a 'religious' person. Whatever you regard as of greatest importance in life, whatever you trust in times of trouble, whatever you would defend to the death---------is that not your 'god', functionally speaking? It does not matter whether you believe in 'supernatural entities'------------you can still have a secular religion. Secular humanism is the predominant religion in my country. And I have run into quite a few people who are devout atheists, who proselytize on behalf of their godless religion. Finally, why are you worried about being 'pushed'? You are resisting, which is as I expected. You are pushing back. Isn't that what people do when there is conflict? I did not 'start' the conflict; it already existed within you. I happened to come along, and it was exposed. (John 3:19) 'This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.'

[@jesusislordsavior6343]

RMPsumma PRAY TO THE REAL GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. (1st Timothy 2:5) 'For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.' There is NO mediatrix, only ONE MEDIATOR. Jesus effected mediation in HIS OWN BLOOD, 'for without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness' (see Hebrews 9:22). Whose Resurrection is it that we celebrate today (or tomorrow, depending on where you are)? Also bear in mind that Mary calls herself 'bondslave' in Luke 1:48. She knew her place. Why do so many people in a hurry to contradict her? How offended she would be if she knew what people were doing, ostensibly in her name, but really to please themselves. You want intercession. You can pray for yourself, people can pray for one another, and they can pray for the world-------------but in the name of CHRIST. That is the avenue which God has provided.

[@mmjhcb]

@@jesusislordsavior6343 Save your fanaticism. It falls on deaf eyes and ears. May the Blessed Virgin enlighten you.

[@jesusislordsavior6343]

@@mmjhcb Please define 'fanaticism'. Is moderation in zeal for truth a good thing? Is it God's desire that we should wink at error in order to please others? Does God demand 'compromise' in all things? No wonder that the Roman Catholic church has a leader who has said that 'good atheists' can go to heaven. 1. Jesus said that 'no one is good but God alone.' 2. 'The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." ' Mr. Bergoglio is WRONG. And Mary had children by her husband Joseph AFTER giving birth to Jesus. Some of their names are given. See Mark 6:3. There is no need to avoid or explain away the obvious. I don't see very well, so it required a double take to confirm this. You speak of 'deaf eyes'. Yes, you do. Deaf eyes and ears. Then why not blind ears? Why not ears that cannot taste? Good show. That is what happens when one gets mad and does not proofread.
