A champion of new music as well as the standard repertoire, she has performed with most of today's pre-eminent orchestras and conductors, and has been critically praised as "an inspired scene painter, mood setter, storyteller, risk taker." In 1999, her recording The Beautiful Voice won a Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Performance. Early recognition includes the 1988 Metropolitan Opera National Auditions, the Richard Tucker Award, the George London Prize, the Grand Prix at the International Singing Competition in Belgium, and a Fulbright Scholarship.Anthony Tommasini, the chief music critic of The New York Times, is also an author and a pianist. Grab a front row seat to hear the world's leading soprano talk about choosing projects, interpreting roles, balancing spontaneity and technique, handling work and family, and yes, even sing a few notes. You'll feel as if you're in an exclusive honors class when you get to hear recordings of four sopranos singing the same selection and hear Renée Fleming discuss the differences among them.
