Customer Reviews for Love Sublime
Not for the timid listener
Rating:
One must remember that such artists as Stravinsky were responsible for starting riots by their "horrible" music that is now considered to be masterpieces.
Fleming and Mehladau receive prise before the CD is even reviewed. These two masters in their own art have gone forward in nearly unfamiliar terriroty, creating a work of modern jazz/art-music that has yet to be rivaled. It is a matter of opinion as to the musicality of the album, however, the depth cannot be denied by any finely-tuned ear.
Quite honestly, if you are looking for "easy listening" jazz and "beautiful" art songs, this is likely not your proverbial cup of tea. In that case, you might do well to look into some of the more "mainstream" albums by these two.
Being a lover of blended styles and genres, I adore the contrasting feelings and textures. The stark, oppenness of Mehladau's pianistic genius brings an honesty to the sound, while the smooth, full voice of the diva, Fleming, opens from deep-throated whisper to soaring angelic heights.
The skill used in bringing this music together brings me to a point of awe and inspiration. Please prepare yourself for an unusual sound when listening, but then open yourself to what is certainly a view of the future of art music.
Customer Reviews for Love Sublime Cd
Art is always new.
Rating:
Renee Fleming is an artist bringing us something new, and beautiful. The poor will always be with us as manifest in those who resent other's movement from their established zones. Renee Fleming is a great female voice with accomplishments her detractors will never have, but in their dreams.
I welcome Renee's elan demonstrated with her recent recordings Love Sublime with Brad Mehldau, and Haunted Heart with Fred Hersch and Bill Frissell. Bravery, fun, and talent combined for people who are listening. Hearing long time favorites Mehldau, Hersch, and Frissell is all the more sublime.
