Renée Fleming Sings Strauss
Richard Strauss’ radiant Four Last Songs are brought to vivid life by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and star soprano Renée Fleming.
It always feels good to make music with friends – and when that friend is soprano Renée Fleming, you just know that something extra special is on the cards.
No introduction is required for one of the LPO’s best-loved guests, the American soprano whose personality lights up the world’s greatest stages and whose voice has been compared to double cream.
‘Unforgettable’ was how one critic described Fleming’s 2022 Gala with the LPO, and tonight she returns to sing Richard Strauss’ Four Last Songs.
Music that never grows old, sung by one of the supreme voices of our time.
