Face To Face: Renee Fleming and Barbara Cook.(Interview)
What happens when Cunegonde meets Arabella? Last spring, Broadway legend Barbara Cook welcomed Renee Fleming, who sings Strauss's heroine this month at the Met, to her Manhattan apartment for a conversation about rhythm and repertoire.
OPERA NEWS: You both have the reputation of being able to sing such a wide range of music. How do you choose your material?
BARBARA COOK: Well ... my range of choices has changed. I think my ability to sing rhythm songs has grown. Because I was afraid of them when I first started doing these concerts, you know?
RENEE FLEMING: What's a rhythm song?
BC: Well, I mean something like "Sunny Side of the Street," as opposed to ...
RF: You mean something that swings.
BC: Something that swings, exactly. I didn't really have very much confidence in my ability to do that. And I still think I do ballads better than I do swing things. But I enjoy them more now, and I've learned how to bite into them. What about you?
