Title: Breathtaking
Review: Though a diehard Renee fan, I have to admit this CD took me by surprise. Having heard classical singers apply their well-meaning and solid techniques to music outside their normal realm of performance, usually to disasterous and comedic result, I was immediately skeptical. This album is in a word astonishing. Haunting, indeed! - the first two tracks alone are worth the price of admission. Once you pick your collective jaws off the floor after exclaiming "THAT's Renee FLEMING??!!", you will settle into a wistful, possibly melancholy mood of gratitude and awe at a performer who is an inspiration to singers of all generations.
