Christian ThielemannAbout
Renee Fleming, the world's leading lyric soprano, records the exquisitely beautiful Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss in a brand new recording. Fleming has only recorded these songs once before but at that point she had never sung them live. Since then, these enduringly popular showcases for the soprano voice have become signature pieces for Fleming and a regular and much-loved part of her concert repertoire. With years of experience of live performances behind her, Fleming is ready now to revisit these works, bringing more insight, fresh interpretations and greater maturity.
She is conducted by Christian Thielemann, a renowned interpreter of Strauss.
The disc also includes other Strauss scenes from his operas Ariadne auf Naxos and Die Agyptische Helena as well as Richard Strauss's songs Freundliche Vision, Verfuehrung, Winterweihe and Zueignung, several of which Fleming has sung live to critical acclaim.
"With her silken tones, stunning technique, vocal intelligence and regal presence, Fleming remains a class apart...the definitive Strauss interpreter of our time" - The Chicago Sun-Times
