Sheherazade
BBC Charlotte Gardner 16th February 2012
“[in the Ravel] she revels in the storytelling...her warm, voluptuous tones soaring ecstatically up into the most hedonistic climaxes, and carrying effortlessly over the orchestra even when in her softest lower-tessitura pianissimo....It’s the Dutilleux cycles that work best of all though, nodding as they do to all of Fleming’s vocal and expressive strengths...the vocal lines themselves playing to the warmth and elasticity of her upper register.”
The Guardian 8th March 2012 ****
“Renee Fleming's latest album reminds us that we pigeonhole her at our peril...Her artistry...can be formidable: she makes Sheherazade sound faintly indecent; Poemes pour Mi taxes her a bit, but is suitably ecstatic. But it's in the Dutilleux that we find her at her considerable best. It's worth acquiring just for that.”
The Independent 9th March 2012 ****
“Fleming claims that singing in French suits her voice naturally, which is clear on this album...Her involvement with the intoxications of Ravel's Sheherazade is obvious, the journey into this "forest filled with mystery" navigated with an enchantment little short of thrilling. Messiaen's Poemes Pour Mi proves the perfect partner for Sheheraza”
The Sunday Times 11th March 2012
“Given that Fleming celebrated 50 years in 2009...the state of her voice is cause for wonderment. The plush, peachy tone, her trademark, sounds unimpaired by the years...The American soprano justifiably revels in the sound of her own voice. If there have been more Gallic Sheherazades on disc, none is more beautifully sung.”
