Sacred Songs - Renée Fleming Classical Review

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Beautiful singing!
"Panis Angelicus" has been one of my favorite songs for many years, and Renée has done it justice on this album, along with another favorite, "He Shall Feed His Flock."

5 stars Precious and Haunting.
Sacred Songs: 16 songs, beautifully arranged, starting with Ave Maria by Bach, and going through a vast repertoire in English, French, German, and Latin. Ms. Fleming again shows why she takes risks of taking the "road not taken" and making the songs unique. The Schubert arrangement of Ave Maria alone is enough reason to buy this beutifully constructed recording. Ms. Fleming is not afraid to explore well-known Choir music such as two selections from Handel's Messiah, as well as the lesser known "L'adieu des bergers" by Berloiz. One of the most beautiful sounding releases in Classical Music for 2005.
