I’m awestruck how fortunate the people in the audience are to have her all to themselves!!!

Oh my God she is so beautiful, and her interpretation is from heaven!

The way she uses her mouth is always the most impressive thing to me, her breath support is incredible enough, but her availability to use her jaw and the way she digests the words, vowels and sounds.. just miraculous

For me THIS is EXQUISITE! 🔝 🌷 I listen and listen almost every week at least once 🥰👌🙏thank you Rene Fleming and You tube 🌷

Her voice is heavenly ❤

To my my opnion, this absolutely is Renée Fleming's very best rendition of 'Casta Diva'! Gorgeous, generous, warm, crystal clear and lyrical 👌

Very beatiful woman and exquisite interpretation. How can anyone have a bad day after listening to Renee? She lifts the Spirit!

My absolute favorite opera singer. Her voice is simply magnificent.

Renee has such amazing power which she controls so beautifully. This is the best performance of Casta Diva ever.

Can you imagine carrying that voice within your body, your soul, your heart? Wow. I'm so grateful that I can hear this magnificent voice. Renee Fleming is wondrous.

Listening to this rendition of Renee Flemming hypnotizes me! I have many favorite pieces of music and performances, but this is the pinnacle of all. Unmatched perfection!

I just want the internet to know that I blasted this song while I was on a Venetian city bus through the grand canal and everybody around me got emotional, and every time I listen to this song I go back to the Grand canal of Venezia

A beautiful woman with the most beautiful smooth and controlled voice. I consider myself so fortunate to be able to listen to you Renee. Thank you. Jeff Green

She has restored my faith in humanity. The magnificence of the human voice, the ultimate instrument.

In August 2015 I had the pleasure of meeting Renee, when she came to where I work at the property of Dame Nellie Melba in Melbourne Australia. Just in awe she wanted to see the room and the piano the Melba sang and played in. She retired not long after.

I've seen Renee in recital and opera at the Chicago Opera and Orchestra Hall. She always has the MOST beautiful sound of every note and register and has remained my favorite soprano since I heard her almost 30 years ago in he CD "The Beautiful Voice" No one compares to her!

Рене ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНА!!!! Исключительно нежное и одновременно глубокое исполнение партии!!! Просто блистательна!!! Благодарю от всей души!! Сколько ни слушаю этот голос, он всегда вызывает самые светлые чувства!!!!!

Absolutely exquisite. Fleming has an ‘unorthodox’ way of phrasing sometimes, but that’s what makes her unique and special. Her voice floats on air.

Beautifully sung by a brilliant artist. We miss her in San Francisco.

What must it be like to have a voice like that? So lovely, so controlled, so effortless... Only Fleming knows.

Despite the horrors of Covid 19 there is, thank God, still so much beauty to be seen and heard!

Such talent can really make you question whether they're more human or you're just less human...Exceptional work of art

Para mi LA MEJOR EN ESTA ROMANZA. mejor todavia que Callas. Por sus trinos y arpegios en la terminacion de la misma y su media vozque francamente es UNICA.❤❤❤❤❤

I'm totally speechless. Her performance goes beyond superb, beyond sublime, beyond words.

TOP TOP TOP ! A true gem !

Seven of the most sublime minutes of my life!

Flawless.

Absolutely beautifu!!l.. I'm listening in 2020.. breath taking.. just awesome!!

What a woman. What a voice. What a performance.

À notre époque, je ne vois aucune voix supérieure à celle ci !.. Timbre ... pureté ... maîtrise ... puissance ... bref !.. à vous tirer des larmes de bonheur !..

Чарующий, необыкновенной красоты голос! Душа замирает!

I don't know about angels in heaven, but everything about Renee in this performance is angelic, divine, heavenly...a goddess singing to a goddess...💖💖💖

Absolutely fantastic, what a glorious voice, she is one of the very best

Goosebumps from the very first note! Wow! She’s amazing! She’s so beautiful! She’s gifted and talented! I love you Renee Fleming. ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is a vocal-orchestral merging made in heaven. As a total opera non-professional, I feel as if the orchestra and Ms. Fleming were totally in sync with one another. It was so mesmerizing that I think I held my breath for what seemed to be minutes. So delicious!

На мой взгляд - самое лучшее исполнение. Невероятная нежность и чувственность.

gosh, I know nothing about opera, but this hit me right in the feels.

20 years ago I watched a B Grade move called 10.5 or something like that? It was about a monster earthquake. I watched the movie because the adverts for it were accompanied by this hauntingly beautiful melody that was hummed by a female singer. I had no idea what the melody was, but I loved it so much that I watched the entire movie just so I could read the credits to find the name of the song. I was bummed when the credits did not show it. So I went searching for the song. Finally, one day maybe a year later I found it. It was this song Casta Diva. Since that time I have listened to so many renditions of the song by so many different sopranos, and I can say with certainty that I love this rendition by Renee Fleming the best. He voice is exquisite! Her rendition is so melodic. Just beautiful & such a wonderful pleasure to listen to.

Absolutely mindblowing and truly gorgeous performance.Goosebumps all over.

Flawless as alabaster! BRAVA!!! The current reigning Queen of Opera, Ms. Renee Fleming. She’s my absolute favorite Soprano of all time!

it's funny how people argue on youtube about who is better, everyone got so much time for mutual insults! Caballe is incredible in this role, with all the flat notes she is still one of the best. anybody can dissect any performance until nothing is left of it but why bother if at the end of the day she takes your breath away. Fleming has always been scooping into notes. why not, i ask you? she's got a gorgeous voice and an exquisite musicality. Callas screeches on top notes like an unoiled hinge of an old door and yet she is got such magic to her, you just can't stop listening. that's what real talent is about - never perfect and ... always perfect. Stop arguing and enjoy.

Casta diva is not all the way through gentle singing but also dramatic explosion. She pretty much does everything equal cause her voice is not a dramatic one . So generally it doesn't matter that she sings soft all the way ,this is a masterpiece of inner dramatic contrast.

I have no words to describe her voice, the only thing that comes to mind is spectacular !!!

All that's missing are the the oak tree, the Athamé, the full moon, the Mistletoe and Norma's Druid Congregants! Here is Norma! So beautiful, delicate and also powerful, as only Ms Renée Fleming can bring it!

Her voice is absolutely exquisite which matches her utter beauty

Очень большой и глубокий голос!!! Браво, Рене Флеминг!!!

All I can say is this performance brings me to tears every time I hear It! Sublime!

Красивый голос, приятная певица. Помним её выступление в нашей стране. Браво, Рене!

Величайшая певица! Необычайная природа голоса, богатый обертонами , и конечно же - талант , огранённый великолепной школой, мастерством и бесконечным трудолюбием))❤️

Omfg. Blue collar boy just fell in love with Opera... Thank you

and she SMILES . .. OHHH how she smiles so happily! 3.35

I've never heard anything so out of this world, wow she really inspired to believe anything is possible, there's talent and then there's talent, hard work, and belief in yourself that you can be the best. I literally started tearing up through this bc she's so amazing! I'm so inspired!

Never heard of this amazing woman... After this performance I will never forget her! Thank you to whomever told you yes. Angelic voice. Superb talent. Wow!

Wow. An amzing voice...

Beautiful, and with such great sound coming through my tablet. A joy. ❤❤❤

The best interpretation of Casta Diva I've heard so far . Many may disagree but taste on this level of professionalism should not be argued. One may please your ear and soul more than another great singer . She's not my favorite singer but when it comes to this song , she performed the best so far in my humble opinion.

She is Sooo beautiful with a glorious voice to match!

Paradise exists because artists like you Renée. God bless for having the pleassure of living at the same time than you. Thanks for let me fly freely just sitting in my room.

Control so chillingly divine; listening in 2020 and finding my confined quarters still allow the soaring of my soul to great thanksgiving for this life.

Renee is so filled with ight and beauty. just love her voice!

волшебно, великолепно глубоко и прочувствованно! Изумительно! Брависсимо! Очень эмоционально!

Боже,как же красиво,эмоционально, чисто!!!!💓

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING in every way, without equal. Bravo!

brilliant and she loves to sing ,the smile is always there

I love that in these classical settings the audience is respectful to the artists and wait until the price in completely done before showing their gratitude. Nothing bothers me more than watching a legendary performance while having crazed fans scream their lungs out.

I don't think it can get any better. This is *magnifique!*

This song is so beautiful! Omg she did absolutely amazing

Heaven smiled upon the universe when it gave us Renee....Beautiful voice and technique, beautiful personage, wonderful person. Thank you, Heaven.

This why I love opera. does not get any better

Gets me always close to tears ... so perfect!

I'm a rocker and a jazz man but this stuff tears my heart apart.

This is for me the special performance , the best of the best CASTA DIVA 🙏Thank you 🎩👌

Умопомрачительно! Волшебно! Сказочно! Восхитительно! Не земнО! Низкий поклон Рене!

She makes it look so easy but the pain of it tells the tale one day .For now she rules as Queen. Long live the Queen

Thank you for posting this - her beautiful sound is glorious in this aria. I was in the feuer downstairs at the Met for her first Metropolitan Verdi role - it was sold out - matinee Saturday - we listened over the speakers - (pretended I was waiting for someone to come out!)when she transitioned from her romantic Mozart, Strauss repertoire to the Verdi ❣️🎼. She spoke to my daughter when we were in line - beautiful lady. Glorious Verdi singing. ❤🎉

This is such a great performance and Renée Fleming is beautiful and sings so fantastic!!! I love it !!!

Could not agree more...2021

It's impossible for that divine sound to come out of a human!

That trill at the end...WOW!

Stunning. The words creamy, rich, velvety, warm, colourful and deep, spring to mind when I listen to her voice. Absolutely beautiful.

extraordinarily beautiful and effortless voice. and oh! that dress!

Anyone who has been blessed by hearing this amazing performance now has a glimpse of heaven.

This can be heard countless times: the feeling of musical beauty and perfection is always the same. RENE: she surpassed herself but also many hitherto known (established) interpretations. In the opera starry sky, she shone with a golden / glittering divine radiance. 🎼🌟🎶💫

When you are one of the very best singers in the world you get to perform in palaces! What lovely singing with perfect control and interpretation. Well done, Renee!

Mrs Fleming you use your voice like a real breath of life. I love the spirit you gives behind your voice. I wish you a path of peace and bright.

SUBLIME. Thank you for your artistry.

Thank you very much for this wonderful performance

Renée Fleming, the last diva, sublime in every way, like an angel from the sky

So beautiful, Renee you have always been my greatest inspiration. Thanks for being such a great artist, I learnt so much from you by listening to you.

A gorgeous aria, gorgeously sung. Renee Fleming is one of the greatest lyric coloraturas of our time or any other.

Волшебный,чарующий голос Рене Флеминг! Прекрасная ария,лучшее исполнение.

Her interpretation, voice control, dynamics, and performance in every way was excellent. What a joy to hear the music of Renee Fleming, it is heaven!

A magical talent and a regular person to boot ! What in the world is NOT to like here ?

Some people said she has constriction here and there and I agree, but it is something that develop in the voice as it aged. You can't hear that in her early recordings. Sadly time is merciless even to great voices. The great Maria Callus turns sharp for her voice near the end of her career. I listened to Fleming's live twice. What I found really amazing about her voice is the control. Just so precise that gives u a "WOW" when you hear the voice floats. It was unlike anything I have ever heard. At the end of one of the 2-hour recital I went to, she finished it off with an E6. Just incredible! Couldn't have been possible without this level of control and support. Her voice live also has this golden and sweet quality that you would miss in a recording. It is hard to describe, but it was quite magical. All the constriction kind of just melted away with the sweetness and gold:)

Beautiful song

i still watching this perfomance in 2018, unbelievable voice!!!

I think I'm finally starting to understand why my English teacher in high school said his favorite soprano was Fleming... What a blessing on this Earth

how on planet earth could anybody dislike ?

Спасибо! Это великолепно!!!!!!!

my best aria singer. renee fleming's voice is just out of this world
