Fleming Takes A Death Cab
Flagstad sang jazz, Jessye Norman‘s done gospel, and you haven’t lived until you’ve heard Leontyne Price sing Harold Arlen’s “Right as the Rain.” But Renee Fleming singing Death Cab for Cutie? Yup, that’s just one of the selections on La Renee’s upcoming CD, “Dark Hope.” She also covers songs by Peter Gabriel and Muse. She talks about the project here. Money quote: “[Opera singing] is a kind of controlled screaming. Basically we holler – in an extremely cultivated way, of course!”
