Scandinavian and American songs from the luminescent soprano. Renée Fleming soars through this nuanced collection with breathtaking beauty, tackling the world premiere recording of Anders Hillborg’s stark, glacial The Strand Settings with elegance and power. Elsewhere, her interpretations of Björk's emotional songs are whimsical and amorous.
