Renée Fleming sings opera arias by Puccini and his contemporaries. Celebrating the composers of the Verismo style. Favourite Puccini arias from La Bohème, Turandot, Manon Lescaut, Il Trittico etc. Rarely heard arias by other Verismo composers. World Premiere recording of the original manuscript version of the aria from Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. Star tenor Jonas Kaufmann joins Renée Fleming for an irresistible melody from Act II of Puccini’s La Rondine. “At its best… verismo's emotional immediacy is a gift to a performer like Renée Fleming, her voice combining luscious tone and intensity.” BBC Music Magazine, Christmas 2009 ***** “…the feeling throughout is generous and true. Characterisation… infuses the voice without being applied like make-up. And the inclusion of some unexpected charmers - the solos from Leoncavallo's Bohème have the lilt of good operetta - is most welcome.” Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2009 “Fleming’s characterisation of these colourful heroines radiates off the recording; her voice often gasps and quivers in turmoil, with finely judged dynamics and tender little portamenti. The vocal delivery itself, despite all this drama, is technically perfect, simply delivered and clearly defined...With this recording, Fleming has more than justified her diva status.” Charlotte Gardner, bbc.co.uk, 24th September 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
