Super Reading: “The Inner Voice” by Renee Fleming (published by Penguin Books, 2004)
(Forward from the book, “The Inner Voice”) “Renee Fleming’s vocal artistry is acclaimed worldwide as “the gold standard of soprano sound.” And international artist for more than a decade, she is recognized for her compelling artistry, beautiful sound, and interpretive talents. A sought-after performer onstage and in recordings, she has won two Grammys and has been nominated eight times for the award.”
A well-known name in Opera, Renee Fleming shows us a glimpse of how she came to be one of the premiere singers of our time. Ms. Fleming has spent a lifetime in music. Her mother and father were both musicians and showed Renee that if she had both talent and hard work, and put the two together, she could accomplish anything. Early on Renee abandoned the idea of a family and concentrated solely on her “life’s call.”
This book can give some very insightful ideas to musicians, and it is a wonderful look into the life of a singer among singers. Recommended reading.
