On the Town. Pas de Deux
Die Kathrin, op. 28. "Ich soll ihn niemals, niemals mehr sehn" Letter scene of Kathrin, Act 1
It’s Munich’s classic open-air concert: in summer 2019 the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Munich Philharmonic will again thrill some 16,000 fans in their outdoor “Klassik am Odeonsplatz” concert. There’s a special charm in listening to popular melodies from the classical repertoire while sipping wine at sunset against the picturesque backdrop of the Munich Residence, Feldherrnhalle and Theatine Church. On Saturday evening the American conductor Alan Gilbert will head the Bavarian RSO in a programme centring on Tchaikovsky. The pièce de rèsistance is Tchaikovsky’s Fifth, the “Fate Symphony”, hovering between buoyant waltzes and heroic triumph. The star guest in the first half of the concert is soprano Renée Fleming, likewise from the United States. After an introductory polonaise she will sing Tatyana’s famous letter scene from Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin after Pushkin. No less touching is Kathrin’s letter scene from the like-named opera by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, a Jewish composer exiled to America. Then comes a pas de deux from Leonard Bernstein’s musical On the Town, after which Mme Fleming will enchant the audience with the Irish ballad about the “last rose of summer” from Friedrich von Flotow’s early 19th-century opera Martha and the immortal anthem “You’ll never walk alone” from Richard Rodger’s musical Carousel - a tune familiar not only to soccer fans from FC Liverpool! Once again this year’s event will be broadcast live on radio and video stream by BR-KLASSIK and on Bavarian Television.
I really hope Renee Fleming records an album of spirituals before she retires. Her voice has that rich, soulful, melancholy quality perfectly suited for songs like “Lord I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray” “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” and “Sinner Please don’t let this Harvest Pass.”
I'm hoping that it will be a long time before she retires!!
She recorded an album called, "Sacred Songs." It is heavenly, though they are not all sacred English/American songs. But, it includes, "Amazing Grace."
Magnificent singing by RF!

Meravigliosa ❤️
Wow! Now this really does that glorious song justice! She has the voice for it. That's for sure! Beautiful, thrilling, which is as it should be. Joyously uplifts and certainly contrasts with the dark Nazi gatherings which used to occur there.
Sublime
I've never sung Walk Alone so s l o w l y and it makes it a l l t h a t m o r e d i f f i c u l t .
Thanks
She sings an even crazy version of this with a high E at the end at another venue. Seriously!
What I would have given to see her as Nettie on Broadway!
Me too!!
Do you have video from the rest of the concert? I'd love to see the Tchaikovsky symphony.
Such a horrible, heavy handed, clunky accompaniment. A travesty for that voice.
Absolument!
Sadly, I agree. And she wasn’t miked correctly either. Her voice and delivery are superb but it’s a strange arrangement that’s not very ‘Rodgers’ and at times it sounded as if the orchestra was tuning up while she was rehearsing.
