Voice of Nature: the Anthropocene
Voice of Nature: The Anthropocene is Renée's 2023 Grammy Award-winning album with Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Inspired by the solace Renée found while hiking near her Virginia home during lockdown, the album explores the inspiring connection to the natural world in Romantic-era song and, with three world-premiere recordings, highlights the peril and fragility of the planet today. She remarks, “This music begins in a time almost two centuries ago, when people had a profound connection to the beauty of nature. Now, in the anthropocene — the age of man — we see the effects of our own activity, and the fragility of our environment. Nature has been so good to us: we have not been so good to nature.”

"I look for mastery of skills, artistry, artistic imagination, a certain curiosity about repertoire. Obviously, the instrument is important as well. I try to be honest in a master class setting and convey what I really think, but with kindness, with respect.."

"For me, the highlight of the
evening was ...’Twilight and
Shadow,’ from The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. The song ...floated serenely and made a perfect fit with Fleming’s creamy sound. It should: it was written for her to sing for the 2003 film’s soundtrack."
Harvey Steinman, Seen and Heard International, December 2, 2024
