Renee Fleming - Poemes (2012)

"Her performance has a grace and charisma that are quite winning . . . [there is] a melting beauty in her middle register that is especially well-suited to Strauss' melodic line . . . Fleming is at her best here, bringing to life the poignant dilemma of a woman who must choose between two suitors and in doing so pronounce a verdict on their art." -- Washington Post, 29 March 2011 (Concert review Capriccio)
