Renée Fleming - Tosca - Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore

[@Hugs4Michael]

OMG how she manages to sing such an emotional piece without breaking down in tears I don't know! It made me cry just listening to it. Most of her songs do that because she sings so beautifully, you'd have to be dead not to feel something. She's awesome.

[@pugh.joseph]

I'm dead

[@rosemaryallen2128]

Well, I listened to this three times, and I still think it the most convincing rendition of a woman in agony of mind - a woman who has discovered that devotion to neither God, nor man, nor art, will protect her from human evil. You can make the aria more balanced, more subtle, more exquisite, but you can't make it more heart-wrenching.

[@gwarren6386]

Absolutely agree. Just amazing that some people have the gift.

[@dennisokeefe9255]

And so moving.

[@malcolmmccormick2075]

Bravo! Stunning! Tonight I have listened to the same from Callas, Tebaldi, Sutherland, Caballe, Gheorghiu, and Koppel and have appreciated the beauty in each of these great singers. Instead of making the comparisons and put downs, celebrate the wonder of great music and how it can be interpreted in many ways by these extremely talented and individual performers.

[@frsh6272]

Malcolm McCormick Your comment is refreshing.

[@chrisellis9385]

I agree whole heartedly. Just because one feels one singer is great does not diminish the other singers. They are all different and each so beautiful. Are there so many great artists around that we can destroy any one of them with criticism?

[@daniel_5606]

Tu lista es buena, agrego a Anna netrebko...

[@Operacrazed]

Finalmente ! Someone who appreciates many singers and their different approaches and interpretations. We all may have favourites but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate performances from others and give them credit too.

[@daniel_5606]

Tebaldi omg shes amazing.. Callas Best, caballe omg, and Angela shes really great...👏👏👏

[@gregoryhurst8483]

Renee always delivers the song with emotion...a great actress on top of a fabulous coloratura sporano. If you’ve ever seen this Opera, you’ll know that Puccini meant it to be played with this feeling

[@ProfLeviNogueira]

The construction of this performance is incredible. The coerence with the colours of the text and the melodie, and the way that Lady Fleming interprets the emotional carg of this personage whas absolutly brillant. Thanks, Renné. Your legacy is unnegable.

[@davidallen508]

How could anyone be critical of this rendition ? She sustains with such incredible skill and sounds glorious beyond words.Thank you.

[@bernardodemuro3692]

Voce vibrata, profonda, intensa, drammaticamente lucida e controllata. in piena aderenza al personaggio. sfumature che portano all'emozione di ascolto

[@JMM224]

WOW, that is one of the best renditions I have ever heard. It was so moving and just utter perfection!! BRAVISSIMA! Just beautiful!

[@ajessm]

Have to agree. Totally spellbinding.

[@nathanielthomas7849]

Are you people insane?!?!?! Lol this aria is perfection for her. Her lyrical sound is perfect for this aria. Her technique is beyond solid. One has to think about longevity in this arena and she has allowed her lyrical sound to soar though the opera world, which is something Leotyne Price talks about all the time. Every singer must approach everything from a lyrical point of view and not make their voices dramatic. Her voice is fresh and oustanding here.

[@johnnymoses5450]

Right you are, this is perfection for her, its no Maria Callas but for Renee its impeccable.

[@moebadderman]

They are not insane, they are merely ignorant.

[@janetflier6192]

Compare Renee's 53 year old voice here to a recent rendition of this aria on the Elvis Costello show. Her 59 year old voice sounds just the same! Talk about longevity!!!

[@mugrad25]

2:49 leading up to the highBb5, that turned me off..why not just hit the note from the start? its messy. the sound is gorgeous though.

[@bernardodemuro3692]

Con Rajna sei l'insuperabile Tosca in questo "Vissi d'arte" accorato, sofferto, profondo nel suo dolore. E quante sfumature drammatiche!

[@terryhenson3350]

fabulous by this lady and so heartfelt!!!!

[@LiyaRayn]

Fleming is perfect! Her school is very special. Desdemona is my favorite of her performance.. Her book is very interesting or me. God bless this outstanding singer!

[@richardconard3944]

To those criticizing....have you ever seen an opera? The emotions shown here are an integral part of the character singing the aria. The concert setting here does not negate the need for the emotions necessary to sing the aria correctly in the opera. Renee is singing just like she sings in an opera role.

[@cindyschulz6905]

Thank you for sharing this. Absolutely stunning.

[@hazelssister]

Renee is in my top 10 of all time favorite sopranos

[@daniel_5606]

hazelssister caballe tebaldi Callas Angela Netrebko flemming son mis favoritas

[@pugh.joseph]

My favourite female singers are Sondra Radvonosky, Renee Fleming and Maria Callas. My favourite male singers are Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Luciano Pavarotti (and for the last one I can't remember who it was, but I might edit this later when or if I do remember who)...

[@Silverpiano]

So beautiful... so expressive.

[@mohamdy9474]

One of the very best renditions of this wonderful aria

[@eyeshowyou]

I love this very much...last week i found for the first time an opera singer i never hear before ( yes i feel ashame) Daniela Dessi.....i was blown away! That voice took me instandly....but that said: Renee Fleming is beautiful too

[@mino7520]

Parfaite maîtrise de la voix .sublime dans cet air comme toujours.

[@emikosiberian]

In my opinion, and I have seen this number hundreds of times, her presentation of this challenging aria is one of my favorites. I feel that Angela Georgieu has delivered the all around best modern delivery. Although this piece was not expressly written with Renées quality in mind, her emotive expression and quality here are superb.

[@chrisellis9385]

I loved Angela Georgieu as well. They are both so lovely but so different. I adore them both. And there is a special place in my heart for Renee.

[@dpswl1121]

Bravo........just.....just beutiful

[@yongminpark1578]

She makes me weep with this aria, I have never shed tears with this song,...

[@chrisellis9385]

She is fabulous in absolutely everything. For those making snarky comments. Let us know where and when you are performing so we can critique you.

[@wotan10950]

Chris Ellis That isn’t the issue. The point is that Fleming is a great artist with a great voice, but she cheapens every note and phrase of this old chestnut. If she had just sung the damn thing as it’s written, without holding the high notes all summer, it would’ve been stunning.

[@pugh.joseph]

@@wotan10950 what do you mean by cheapens the note?

[@LupitaJaled3]

Thats totally true even i have my oun interpretation and i want to ear youre personal opinion kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGnUnnSlprx-rZY

[@liligibson8457]

Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore, Non feci mai male ad anima viva! Con man furtiva Quante miserie conobbi aiutai. Sempre con fè sincera La mia preghiera Ai santi tabernacoli salì. Sempre con fè sincera Diedi fiori agli altar. Nell'ora del dolore Perché, perché, Signore, Perché me ne rimuneri così? Diedi gioielli della Madonna al manto, E diedi il canto agli astri, al ciel, Che ne ridean più belli. Nell'ora del dolore, Perché, perché, Signore, Ah, perché me ne rimuneri così?

[@mickyalexandru6894]

Fleming HAD one of the most beautiful voices . But, like the ballet dancers, the opera singers do not have extremely long careers. They may sing as long as they want - the point is how it sounds ! Here she is still at her peak.

[@theogoldberg8919]

People be respectful. Let me tell you this: A friend of mine violin player at the National Opera of Paris did several productions with her. She is an impeccable professional , always there on time and a great colleague. Here she was it's true a bit overperforming the Aria: I think she was perhaps a tiny bit afraid of it and as a performer myself I know that when you wanna be perfect sometimes you put too much pressure on your shoulders and you wanna show them you nail it but actually no !!!!

[@theogoldberg8919]

Also it requires so many sacrifices to become an Opera Star! She's got no time to see her family or her love ones ! So before criticizing open your mouth, produce a sound and see when you're at in comparison! That's it !!!!!

Renee is with the greats. Period.

[@thomasmichaelguenther3433]

Fleeming - after 2000 - always reminds me of what somebody said to me about late Sutherland: "She is howling - she is howling lovely, but she is howling" Fleming is not attacking a single note straightforward here, but sliding up and down the line. No taste at all - IMO

[@TheJazsinger]

+THOMAS MICHAEL Guenther - What!! Are you a wolf?

[@jayhutzler6706]

+THOMAS MICHAEL Guenther why would you attack this aria? its not a verdi spinto aria. look up the actual words and tell me its something she should be attacking. shes actually doing something called acting.

[@janetflier6192]

How can you say that Fleming has, “No taste at all”??? Perhaps YOU are the one with, “No taste”!

Is she singing or crying? 🤔

[@WBFbySteefen]

I heard at least two pitch problems and she indulgently held notes too long. Facially, I didn't like her acting. She can produce but this performance I give an 89/100. There are things to hear here, but she draws too much attention and takes away from the aria. Tebaldi is too powerful. Maybe Te Kanawa; yes, I'll listen to her.

[@markmiller6751]

[@gianpantoli8663]

Too much emphasis and exaggerated strength. However possibly the best among living singers.😮
