Renée Fleming & Marilyn Horne in Semiramide

Pershkrimi videos:
A surprising duo: Renée Fleming and Marilyn Horne sing the famous duet "Serbarmi ognor sì fido", from Rossini's Semiramide. This concert performance took place at the War Memorial Opera House in October 30th, 1999.
This was perhaps one of the last performances of Mrs. Horne (she was 65 then), but she is still in stunning vocal shape. It also gives us an interesting grasp of how Fleming would fare in this role.

Marilyn Horne, at ... ( 9 months ago by fernandobicudo)

Marilyn Horne, at 65, can still deliver her fabulous singing.
Renée Fleming is the new "Stupenda" !!!
I wish she can perform the complete opera one this days...

I am told she will be doing it at the Met in the next couple of years. a revival of the production they have.

Didn't know Fleming ... ( 9 months ago by fuzmiq)

Didn't know Fleming could do that with her voice. I love her more and more each day.

Fleming is not the ... ( 8 months ago by BeauTenor)

Fleming is not the new stupenda. Her voice is not anywhere NEAR the size of Sutherland, for one thing, so the fact that she can sing the fioritura is not all that surprising. She also sounded a LOT better in 99 than she does now. She's supposed to be tackling Norma too. Singing one scene or aria out of context and singing the entire role are entirely different. She'd better watch it or she'll ruin herself worse than she already has.

Horne, however, is ... ( 8 months ago by BeauTenor)

Horne, however, is AMAZING. I saw her in concert around this time, and she was amazing. She still had technique to BURN, and the voice was DAMN BIG, which made it all the more amazing that she could do what she did. What a GODDESS.

I should have added ... ( 8 months ago by BeauTenor)

I should have added here too...Fleming sounds wonderful.

Actually I think ... ( 8 months ago by Homoclassicus)

Actually I think Fleming's vocal shape is amazing for her age. No sign of decline at all can be heard in her most recent interpretations, apart from a slightly drier lower middle register. Of course she's not the new La Stupenda in exact terms, I'm quite sure fernandobicudo didn't mean it.
But we should praise her performance more than create polemics with comparisons with Sutherland, who obviously can't be substituted by anyone. ;-)

Horne was in ... ( 8 months ago by mrrk)

Horne was in amazing voice here, but much as I love Fleming, why does she always alter the line of the music in such a silly and show off way. The music is perfect the way it was written. Horne voice belended so wonderfully with Sutherland in this music it is hard hearing anyone else sing it.

This video leaves a ... ( 8 months ago by nilsuthor)

This video leaves a bitter aftertaste: It's like this music can't be sung by no one else but Horne and Sutherland.

Right, but my point ... ( 8 months ago by BeauTenor)

Right, but my point is that maybe she's taking things on that are...beyond her, a la Netrebko. Semiramide and Norma are not for the fainthearted. Norma in particular needs a voice with more than substantial size to be effective, which is why singers like Callas and Sutherland did it so well. BOTH roles could easily ruin a voice built like anything less than a tank.

Sutherland and ... ( 7 months ago by zacharybr)

Sutherland and Horne sang this is such harmony with each other. Fleming is just all over the place, altering the music, and making this sound really sloppy in certain places, especially toward the end.

Yes, we have grown ... ( 6 months ago by Gobbi2007)

Yes, we have grown accustomed to her scooping and shoving of air for "expression." Fine. IMO Fleming's deviations from the score distort the overall shape of the music.

A fine piece of ... ( 6 months ago by angelus2002)

A fine piece of Rossini singing.
The best Fleming did (i.m.o.) was her Armida. I love this duet Sutherland and horne were magical in it. So were Anderson and Horne but one of my favourite versions has to be Devia and Podles.

¨La Stupenda¨ didn´ ... ( 5 months ago by Holderlin)

¨La Stupenda¨ didn´t pronounce a single consonant. It was impossible to understand her, to catch a single word on her singing. Did anybody notice that here? Besides that, her timbre was so acute and light that was plain... silly. Did anybody notice that? There´s more than publicity and good advertising (and good coloratura, but unexpressive singing...)

Sutherland's timbre ... ( 5 months ago by Homoclassicus)

Sutherland's timbre acute and light, you mean it? I'm sorry, but this is a totally wrong comment, because if there is a characteristic Sutherland never had in her voice was the lightness of a leggero soprano. It was a dense, large, rounded, darker tone. And she did pronounce, people overestimate her diction problem. I myself can understand most of what she sings, and in the 70's her diction got very acceptable. The whole world wouldn't acclaim her for nothing.

Indeed, Horne and ... ( 5 months ago by zodiak899)

Indeed, Horne and Sutherland do the trick. This is, don't know just not the same at all

A surprising ... ( 3 months ago by makoto174)

A surprising recording in many respects.
Fleming's agility of the voice has dissapeared, and
many ornamented notes are regrettably not clear, though
she sang Rossini's Armida some ten years ago, which
impressed me with her technique she possesed at that
time.
As for Horne, it is quite miraculous that she should
be able to sing this role, with some defects, considering
her age. Since Horne, I've never met another Arsace
overshadowing her.

I completely agree. ... ( 3 months ago by sevoflurane)

I completely agree. She was good in some respect, but highly manufactured. I strongly believe that diction is part of the belcanto technique and that aiming just for a beautiful sound betrays the drama.

the blend of tone ... ( 1 month ago by skitzo429)

the blend of tone is great, they both have a very commanding dramatic power that complement eachother very well. However, that being said, the technique does sound a bit sloppy, a lot of the little notes get lost. unfortunately im afraid it may be renne's fault here, horne was a rossini mezzo role specialist for most of her career.

Marylin Horne is so ... ( 4 weeks ago by spsp2sp3sp3dsp3d2)

Marylin Horne is so amazing. I think her Arsace has been unrivaled for nearly 40 years. She's sang the role with all of the great divas: Sutherland, Caballe, Anderson, Fleming. It would be interesting to know which soprano she enjoyed singing with the most and who she thinks was the best Semiramide.

A few months ago ... ( 3 weeks ago by spsp2sp3sp3dsp3d2)

A few months ago Fleming realized that she can't sing Norma. I just found out recently (I'm a little behind). I was kind of disappointed because I wanted to hear her take on the role, for better or for worse.
