Renée Fleming Performs "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the 2018 A Capitol Fourth

[@brucegreer7201]

I cannot count the number of times I have turned on the radio in the middle of a musical number with a soprano singing the stunned me and then to not be surprised when, at the end, the soloist was Renee Fleming. There are many wonderful sopranos. There is only one Renee.

[@JoeHarkinsHimself]

I saw her, 30 feet away, sing this in the 2018 Broadway production of Carousel. A moment I will never forget.

[@marcielipsitt7754]

Me too! We saw Carousel twice and Renee Fleming came outside after both performances and gave autographs. Her voice is just seared in my soul.

[@chrisshoemaker3855]

Same here! One of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Got a selfie with her at the stage door too!

[@erlindacalaguian4405]

What a lovely voice❤

[@MarthalieThurstonSachemPiper]

Wonderful performance and to see the families on stage was simply beautiful.

In her book, The Inner Voice, Ms. Fleming talked about why people often turn to classically trained singers in times of great emotion. She said it was for 2 reasons. First, "the tradition of music grounds and connects us through a universal appreciation that transcends taste". She has clearly demonstrated that here in a powerful rendition of a song with a timeless and so very needed message. Her second reason for why people turn to trained singers is "a trained voice has a kind of innate authority that transits strength. The sounds...emenate from the...whole heart and soul". This requires no explanation, as that strength and emotion reverberates through her performance to the entire audience. Well done, Ms. Fleming.

[@oscarfordson9064]

Mya Maola excellent quote but I just saw Jessye Norman on another KZbin video and I think Jessye pips Renee

[@t.i4695]

One of the BEST operatic sopranos in the world. I ADORE her voice, and the sublime interpretation.

[@Jerry-nz5rw]

Beautiful voice and lady.

[@keithfulk7630]

I just learned recently that this song was written and released in 1945 when millions of Americans were serving overseas in World War II. It added a new meaning to what this song must have meant to those at home who had loved ones serving in harm's way.

[@chrislibera4257]

She sure is excellent as an artist but very dumb as human being she had her chance so keep her mouth shut politically but she chose instead to speak about things about which she has no idea. Very sad.

[@aj-hr2co]

Beautiful.

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

10 years since she sang it at the Obama inauguration and she's still got it. The Obama inauguration was her greatest live performance though.

[@nathanclift9519]

Great moments of opera I saw her in Carousel and she had the entire theater sobbing during this number

[@janetflier6192]

How can you say that the Obama Inauguration was her,"Greatest live performance"? She's had many, many, "Greatest live performances"!!!!

[@icanfartloud]

Sounds like a basic presentation of the words, for what, a mezzo-soprano or soprano?

[@patrickkelly7085]

When people talk of the best song writers of the 20th century they talk of lenon and macartney they were great but listen to the lyrics and music of the composers of this musical and tell me who was better.

I love Renée Flemming, but as a fan of both opera *and* Man U, this... this just leaves me feeling conflicted.

[@janetflier6192]

Jean-Luc What is the conflict?

[@pachidermo]

@@janetflier6192 Man U is the biggest rival of Liverpool, who sing "you'll never walk alone" before every match, but also Fleming is my favourite soprano, her voice and delivery are so enchanting. So, you know, mixed feelings
