I have watched Renee Fleming's Proms concert on TV
(our cable <BR>
network in the Netherlands picks up the BBC signal
from the coast)<BR>
and I wholeheartedly agree with what you wrote. I
found it sad to<BR>
see such a tremendously talented singer treat the
Exsultate Jubilate<BR>
which such degree of unnecessary bravura. I also agree
that she<BR>
sounded wonderful in the Strauss lieder, although I
would have<BR>
expected her to have somewhat better German diction (I
couldn't<BR>
understand the words at all), especially after the
interview they<BR>
showed with the conductor (Christoph Eschenbach), who
hailed her<BR>
as THE Strauss singer of the 20th and 21st century.
She could <BR>
easily be heard over the orchestra, but that's
obviously due<BR>
to the microphones/mix.<BR>
<BR>
It's one of the nice things of this group: to watch a
concert<BR>
on TV and then read a review by someone who was
actually there.<BR>
Thanks !<BR>

Hello,
I heard Renee Fleming in a concert at the Palais
Garnier in Paris, a recital of German Lieder with
Eschenbach at the piano - and I did not understand a
word - although I am German.
I love the sound of her voice - not her "diction".
