I saw this live in the Royal Opera House! It was wonderful. Renee was so impressive! So was Sylvia McNair. Less so Monserrat for me. Often inaudible in ensembles. But the audience loved her!
I always felt Fleming was a natural comedienne. In her prime, her voice had an effervescence and care-free agility that could portray Rossini's melodramatic humour extremely effectively.
Gorgeous singing lavished on such a silly role! But Fleming is wonderful in it, and executes Gossett's abbellimenti (including a staccato Eb6!) perfectly. Thank you Nuri!

The aforementioned 'sobbing in trills' effect executed by Renee happens at 4:14.
A miracle.

And let's not forget, in her prime her voice and onstage persona REEKED of youthfulness... Fantastic
@@NLidar Did she ever sing Fiorilla in Il Turco? That would've been the perfect role for her in the early 90s
@@jmiller05 No, not that I know of... and if she did, there's no recording :(

Silly in the greatest way possible... That's Rossini for you!
