September 2019
Fleming’s delightful selection of Brahms songs and Schumann’s Frauenliebe und-leben aren’t presented with the folk-like simplicity one might expect. This approach is suffused with late Romanticism, with full singing and rich characterisation. It’s generous and heartfelt singing, playful, flirtatious and dramatic by turn, but for me, a touch over-egged…Fleming’s Rolls-Royce voice is perfectly matched by Mahler’s opulence in his sublime Rückert-Lieder.
August 2019
Her performances can never be doubted for their diligence and honesty, while the voice…still has plenty of that trademark beauty, especially at the top…But the soprano’s glamorous, cookies-and-cream approach often sits uncomfortably with the more homely aesthetic of these songs with piano…All in all, this is probably one primarily for Fleming fans.
28th July 2019
[The album] finds her in fresh voice at the age of 60. Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder are usually mezzo territory, but her rich soprano sounded near its peak at a Thielemann-conducted concert in 2010.
