Renee Fleming over-embelishes / sings with full chest placement (2 octave drop) Imogene’s Mad Scene

Highlighted comments from the commenters below: -From jmiller05: The cavatina is sung like a dream. Ghostly, incredibly suspended with gorgeous dynamics and a fully supported middle that rivals Caballe in this vocal production. The cabaletta and interpolations though don’t sound like Bellini to me. The cadenza at the end of ’col sorriso’ almost sounds like a french coloratura aria, very whimsical and unmusical to my ears. That said the chest tones in the cabaletta are the best after Callas and she sings with thrilling, if a tad unrefined intensity. -From Lohengrin O: 2 octave drop in 7:50 Disclaimer - I own nothing
