Piece Description
Renee Fleming has fulfilled a life-long dream and "The Heart of Song: Renée Fleming with Fred Hersch" features the singer in a very personal and insightful conversation – and performing songs you wouldn’t usually associate with the world’s most beloved diva. In "The Heart of Song," you hear Fleming in an intimate performance, accompanied by collaborator Fred Hersch on the piano, and performing an eclectic set of favorites. The hour includes music from Joni Mitchell’s classic 1971 "Blue" release, to the standard "Love for Sale," and features exclusive archival performances from Fleming’s earliest days as a young college student. "The Heart of Song: Renée Fleming with Fred Hersch" is produced by WNYC Radio in collaboration with SchardtMEDIA, and hosted by WNYC’s John Schaefer.

Review of The Heart of Song: Renée Fleming with Fred HerschThis is a beautifully-produced and very engaging special. John Schaefer is a deft host/interviewer, who helps reveal opera singer Renee Fleming’s accessibility and creativity. The program explores Fleming’s interest in musical genres other than opera, especially jazz. There are surprising moments: the “diva next door” with the extraordinary voice who loves bluegrass! Fleming’s graceful pianist/collaborator Fred Hersch is here, too. The program unfolds with a combination of engaging interview and cuts of the new Fleming/Hersch album of jazz and song Haunted Heart. Highly recommended. I enjoyed this program immensely. |

Review of The Heart of Song: Renée Fleming with Fred Hersch
Great interview and great interviewer! Schaefer does a wonderful job asking the questions a listener would want asked -- but in the context of a very cozy conversation.
