[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

For those who haven't read the above blurb, there are a few unfortunate skips in the recording, but I thought it still worth posting!

[@johnfox7985]

Thank you for this! One little thing: is the yip on the final Bb an issue with the recording or a vocal one? Gorgeous singing

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

@@johnfox7985 Yes. It's an unfortunate recording skip. Maybe the NYPhil will release the original video again one day.

I so love what the French vowels let Renée do with her voice. Somehow there are sounds more gourgeous than in any other repertoire. Tank you so much for posting. 🎶😍🎶

Lovely poetic aria.

This is one of my favorite Fleming performances. I saved it on an old DVR for 2 years.

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

So sensuous and romantic. She looks great too. I’m going to post another excerpt.

Her french aria sounds beautifull!

[@theogoldberg8919]

Love the fact Maestra Renée has a slightly hesitating first entrance at the very beginning of the aria. Dedication sincerity no souffleur no prompt ( well maybe some mics 🤣🤣😂😅😅)that's REAL CONSISTENT LIVE OPERA PERFORMANCE with every possible accidents mistakes and wonderful human unperfect beauties !!!!!!!

Bravissima!!!

angelic

[@MySensualWorld]

The high notes were good. The mannerisms almost creot in to some of her phrasing, and her tone wasn’t that rich or pure as Caballe in the lower or mid range or as powerful!

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

I put some clips together from her live Herodiade. She was unbelievable in this role onstage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6WQhHhngquUbrc

In mio Paese una Ballerina a Amazzato un Artista e io adesso canto Gregorian Muzic

[@crazyorganist1609]

Not a patch on Caballe's touching and moving rendition. This is boring

[@judyjones2475]

Its not boring ,but not like Montserrat s utterly captivating performance from the opera 👏🙄
