RECORDING INFORMATION

In her sumptuous, self-titled album, Renée Fleming's ravishing soprano voice brings you the most popular arias form the world's greatest operas. With soaring melodies, from Bizet's Carmen to Puccini's Madama Butterfly, this is the most beautiful collection of arias in one essential album.

The album brings Renée together again with Sir Charles Mackerras. This is the coupling that produced the very successful Rusalka. The orchestra is the London Philhrmonic Orchestra.

“Fleming has developed into one of the great singers of our time” Gramophone, March 2000
