A Recital With Renée Fleming: Vienna at the Turn of the 20th Century

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This concert is Renee Fleming's very personal homage to 'Fin de Siecle' Vienna. At the turn of the last century, the capital of the Austrian Empire was also one of the cultural centers for the fi ne arts and, in particular, for music. The city of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, a 'melting pot' of cultures and musical traditions, attracted gifted musicians and composers alike and provided the perfect soil for much of the greatest music of that time. With this selection of works by Hugo Wolf (1860 -1903) and Gustav Mahler (1860 -1911), combined with more progressive songs by Alexander Zemlinsky (1871 - 1942), Arnold Schoenberg (1874 - 1951) and Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897 - 1957), Renee Fleming presents to us the full variety of this unique epoch. The venue of her recital with Maciej Pikulski at the piano is, of course, the Golden Hall of the Musikverein Vienna.

REVIEW
Fleming builds up a great sense of pathos in Um Mittermacht and delivers a deeply affecting account of ich bin Welt abhanden gekommen supported by some wonderfully sensitive phraising from Pikulski. Performance **** Picture & Sound **** --BBC Music magazine,Christmas 2014

The recital's unpretentious orthodoxy and reliance on tasteful musicianship are a real pleasure. Not just Renee Fleming's many fans will be delighted. --IRR, Dec'14
