Handel: Renee Fleming

Handel: Renee Fleming
Decca

Handel is not one of my favorite composers. Sure, he did write some beautiful music, but a little tends to go a long way. However, this CD is a wonderful collection. Great as background music and her renditions of “Ombra Mai Fu” and “Let the Bright Seraphim” are brilliant. The quality of the recordings is excellent and her voal renditions are very nice. I have listened through the entire album many times and enjoyed every minute of it. It has definitely raised my opinion of Handel. All in all, very nicely done. “The Beautiful Voice” is really beautiful.
