Title: This is absolutely horrendous
Review: I can't say I know much about opera. I purchases "Dark Hope" based on a NPR interview and thought it was interesting. So, I thought I'd give this puppy a try. I am a big fan of several of the composers of the pieces on this disk. (Jimmy Webb's "The Moon is a harsh mistress", Joni Mitchell's "River", Lennon and McCartney's "In My Life".) Renee does not know how to sing these with any sense of intimacy or they type of feel that this material calls for. She just tries way to hard to sound emotional and sincere and just ends up sounding silly.Bill Frisell does okay on the album, but if you want to hear him play, you should just get on of his disk.
Is the review positive or negative?
