Title: Okay, But Not Great....
Review: At the risk of accusation of heresy, I find Fleming's voice beautiful and creamy, yet profoundly boring. I hear little difference in characterization from one aria to another. Everything sounds the same to me - lovely yet complacent. She has undoubtedly a very beautiful voice, but there is no risk, no vulnerability, no challenge, no agony, I hear nothing in her singing but placid self-satisfaction. Buy instead Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, or Viveca Genaux, or Marilyn Horne, or Beverly Sills, or Robert White, or.... There is emotional heart and heat in Handel's arias, but here I hear only a creamy coolness.
