Renée Fleming - Merci Jeunes Amis

Renée Fleming sings Merci Jeunes Amis from the French version of I Vespri Siciliani or Les Vêpres Siciliennes by Verdi. Great high note at the end!

Goodness gracious! What a phenomenal instrument Ms. Fleming has. A gift that I still can't comprehend but am astonished by every time. Sublime artistry and a delicate sound that defines the term pure. If only I could sing a fraction of her dazzeling ability. Bravo! :)

Stupendous!

Holy shmokes that was maybe the most surprising and beautiful high e ive ever heard love renee

[@jimbuxton2187]

She could perform a G in public and vocalize all the way to the C above C

album credit: "Renee Fleming" - on London/Decca 467049 worth noting this was recorded in 1999.. I wish she still sang like this all the time, it's so, so very good. What a great trill.

After listening to Fleming in Mozart's Dove sono I thought I had to hear her in one of Verdi's Coloratura. I'm blown away!!!! Much love to this woman!!!!

[@RedbeardNC]

What I love about this is that sensational high E that comes out of nowhere....expertly exocuted of course!!!!

[@MrAndredekock]

VERY well sung! Bravi Ms Fleming. She has a similar kind of spinto voice to that of Ms Netrebko, but whereas Ms Netrebko's is a sloppy fiasco, this is excellent.

[@jimbuxton2187]

Rene Fleming is a medium lyric... on the coloratura side...! Netrebko is a large lyric on the spinto side with coloratura! Whew..

Best HighE EVAH!!!! Brava, she made this a Butt-kicking aria sung by the hottest, greatest soprano of the century!!!

[@jimbuxton2187]

Wishing....Anna Moffo hits the E head on....

[@tuadolcefanciulla]

Well with Renee, what's NOT to love?? Amazing voice, amazing technique, amazing beauty, good acting, AND a lovely human being. Oh.....and Love your "Holy shmokes" :~)

[@Tenorbravo]

NICE. THANKS .

[@BaroquePearl419]

I agree! :-)

[@operafy]

c'est la version française?

[@garbo2210100]

French version is mild and elegant. I prefer to this version to Italian version.

[@edwardamosbrandwein3583]

Me too! First time I heard it sung in its original French was on a Beverly Sills Verdi recital disc

[@SleepingTurtle1]

Extremely impressive, without the tweeness that ruins some of her singing.
