About the Album
This exquisite recording features Forêt de l'Amazone, a symphonic poem based on texts of Dora Vasconcellos.
Fleming's voice is all peaches and glamour and, at this stage in her meteor flight, blessedly low on the matron-like vibrato that drives people away from serious music the world over and which yet seems to be affected as a style ornament 'to die for' by vocal coaches. Sheerly delightful.
