While countless fans flock to see soprano Renee Fleming's performances of the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro because she's got the voice and the dramatic ability to handle such meaty roles, the versatile singer throws her fans a curveball on Haunted Heart, singing popular standards and ballads as well as a few altered classical pieces. In her liner notes, Fleming calls this album a "look back at the road not taken" -- she played a weekly gig in a jazz club while in school. Nonetheless, her feel for the material here is undeniable. Interestingly, she drops her voice a full octave from her usual tessitura, and the change reveals a robust gospel-oriented approach filled with dramatic breaths and moans. The lyrical Fred Hersch (piano) and the idiosyncratic Bill Frisell (guitar) provide support, and both are adventurous jazz players who create subtle and uniquely haunting backdrops. It adds up to an interesting cross-section of ideas well carried off by the generous talents of all involved. --Tad Hendrickson

Customer Reviews:
Sublime and ridiculous.......2007-06-13
The sublime: much of the artistry of this recording is about sound, and the subtle blending/responding of voice with guitar sounds and / or piano sounds. It is in the sensitive musical interplay between the artists where this effort shines. Definitely not recommended for road trips!
The ridiculous: Fleming ended the majority of most phrases in most of the songs with a guttural of some sort which for me becomes irritating to the point of distraction. These punctuations are mostly quite awful: really tasteless, clumsy, and overused big time and I'm amazed at how this ever got released. Without these ersatz testifyin' noises this CD would be stunning.
So, if you have the ability and inclination to edit out this garbage from your perception as you listen I think you'll be glad you experienced these artists at work together. (Unfortunately I'm not up to it).
Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww.......2007-06-06
Ugh. Like a manufactured home vs. a stick-built house, Fleming's manufactured (aka "training and technique") blues voice compares unfavorably to other jazz/blues singers/lounge acts. Would not, COULD not, listen to this recording straight through--one big long, breathy, minor key train wreck in the making. Took the CD on a road trip and had to pull over and remove from queue--either that or drive into a wall.
Better than I thought it would be.......2007-04-10
I have to admit, Haunted Heart was a lot better than I thought it would be,especially her recordings of "River", "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress, "My Cherie Amour" and "In my life".
I think this is the most artistically successful recording of Pop/Jazz by a classical singer. I enjoyed it even better than the Anna Sophie Von Otter'/ Elvis Costello CD.
The perspective I am coming from is that of a classical singer who started out as a pop singer/songwriter. I perform and teach cross-genre but love a world class instrument such as Flemming's
I wanted to get the perspective of a friend who used to sing jingles and is also a trained singer but is usually critical of any attempts that opera singers make at crossing -over.
My friend is very familiar with Flemming's voice, but did not recognise it in this context when I played the CD for her. Her reaction was very complimentary, although she did comment that the diction was a bit strange.
She then played it for her brother a well known jazz singer and arranger who had a somewhat negative reaction.He found the singing to be overly dark and round. He prefers a cleaner more 'spoken' approach to this style of singing. I understand this perspective and therefore personally prefer Ella to Sarah as well, but let's not get too picky. Obviously, Rene Flemming is of the Sarah Vaghan School of jazz singing, which is not too shabby.
I will continue to enjoy this CD and will wait for another opera diva to top this one. But, somehow I think the next really good CD of Pop/ jazz from an opera star will also come from Rene.
To those who have been unreasonably mean and negative towards her, I can only say you are not fit to polish her shoes!
Brava Renee.......2007-04-09
This talented woman can sing anything. I really enjoyed this cd with the lights turned down and a glass of wine to relax after a very stressful day at work. Renee could definitely have another singing career outside of opera should she choose. Hearing her drop that gorgeous voice down one octave rivals the best chanteuses in the business - Cassandra Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Regina Belle, Sarah Vaughan, etc. This cd of different musical styles reminds me of Nina Simone and Cassandra Wilson, two great singers whom could interpret any song genre and make their versions special. I loved all the songs and the standouts here are "Haunted Heart", "River", "My One and Only Love", "My Cherie Amour", "Cancao do Amor", and Beatles "In My Life", and "Hard Times Come Again No More".
I hope Renee keeps recording whatever catches her fancy because I'll certainly always listen.
Art is always new. .......2007-03-10
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 by artists and for people who are listening. Hearing long time favorites Mehldau, Hersch, and Frissell is all the more sublime.

cut the filler and you've got 5 stars........2006-02-21
What a joy to hear Stevie's early music tied to his Motown era. Thia album contains some of his best if not some of the all time greatest Motown joints ever in "My Cherie Amor" and "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday." The clarity of Stevie's voice underscores the simple but effective writing on lesser known gems like "The Shadow Of Your Smile" and "Hello Young Lovers." And I must be totally honest and admit I bought the album largely because of "Angie Girl" maybe my favorite pre Tamla Wonder song. Although a little long in the tooth with some fluff (he could have kept the hideous cover of The Doors "Light My Fire) this is an enjoyable selection from the formative years of Stevie's stellar resume.
a final album of cover versions and his last of the 1960s .......2004-12-14
stevie wonder's last and final album for the decade of the 1960s
1969's"my cherie amour"would also be officially his last studio
album that contains cover versions of other artist's songs and a
mixture of his own originals. and 2 my amazement, mr. wonder pulls at all stops 2 give his unique versions of these songs the "wonder way"...and in his classic vocal stylings and musicianship.the album opens with a beautiful wonder original,the classic 'my cherie amour'which was co-written with the beautiful sylvia moy and henry cosby.the song has one of the most beautiful lines and melody in the history of music:'my cherie amour,lovely as a summer day-my cherie amour,distant as the milky way'...this song is without question an unforgetable classic.side one of the original vinyl album opens with that wonder classic and from there wonder brings his musical harmonica uniqueness and vocals 2 the cover versions updated with the upbeat late 1960s style such as 'hello young lovers'/'at last'/and a splendid cover version of the doors 1967 classic 'light my fire'...wonder's version of 'the shadow of your smile'is without a doubt a very relaxing calm groove that has similar shadings to 'my cherie amour'not by way of the lyrics but by it's musical presentation.(also around this period,wonder recorded a remake of leslie bricusse and syral ornadel's if i ruled the world'which was not included in this album but was included in wonder's three record anthology "looking back" which was originally released in 1977)'you and me'is sung with joyous sunshine from the heart and the musicbeat is moderately warm.side two of the original vinyl album opens with two funky jams:'pearl'as wonder sings with excitement in that he declares her as the sweetest girl in the world.'somebody knows,somebody cares'is another wonder original co-written with his mother lula hardaway,henry cosby,and sylvia moy.the song is about a person who is missing home and wants to comeback,of which wonder and his love who dreams of rocky hills and little cornfields and talking to friendly folks-the hometown folks who knows and cares that their native son is coming home.this track is funky and harmonica funkafied with wonder's high energy vocals and some powerful background vocalists.'yester-me,yester you,yesterday'which was written by ron miller and b.wells was another hit single release.a classic song about young love and regret between a boy and girl that speaks about a simpler time in life with happy dreams:'where did it go?-that yesterglow?'i had a dream so did you...life was warm and love was true'/the beautiful 'angie girl'(which was co-written with sylvia moy and henry cosby) was wonder's true real life lovesong to his love at that time a girl by the name of angela satterwhite whom wonder had met in los angeles,california in the late sixties.'give your love'another wonder original (co-written with d.hunter and henry cosby) is a dark haunting slow lovesong that has a masterful complex piano piece composed by wonder with beautiful backing strings.this track soars with incredible moods-it has incredible highs and incredible lows and a nice solo part with just wonder's voice and piano which starts the song off.wonder delivers this incredible line to his woman in the song to set off this beautiful love affair:'when i look at love,i look at you.look at me and you'll see the love is burning inside me,but the flame needs you to make it brighter,give to me what you see,make the moment a lifetime'...now i ask you aren't these incredible lines for a woman to hear or what?the opening piano chords of this haunting song are a precursor to a wonder song that he would do many years later on a track entitled 'make sure you're sure'(from the jungle fever soundtrack,1991).'give your love'with it's effective dark shadings, is an overlooked classic wonder lovesong.(also during this period,wonder also wrote a similar song related to 'give your love',a track entitled 'this town'(a more darker twin to 'give your love')which has a more lusher sound was written for the soul/rock band(the)rotary connection,and is available on the album-"songs"/rotary connection.) the final track,'i've got you'of which stevie had co-written with the beautiful sylvia moy is a very nice concluding song about someone in town seeing his woman running around-only that the person had her mixed up with another girl in town.and there is no doubt in his heart that he knows that his woman loves him:...in a thousand little words he can tell that she really loves him...this song has a nice moderate beat including wonder's classic harmonica solo near the conclusion of the song as the background vocalists backing wonder add a nice cushion to the song complementing wonder's vocals nicely.stevie wonder's "my cherie amour"(1969)was an end of an era for him during this period of which motown albums had no concept and were recorded for the enhancement of singles only mixed in with cover versions.the new decade of the seventies were on the horizon where he would attain creative freedom and would later be a legendary musical force to be reckoned with...
Follow Up To 'Life'.......2004-07-23
The title track not withstanding this album seems thrown
together in comparasin to what came before.Once again Stevie
reinvents "Hello Young Lovers","At Last" and even "Light My
Fire" in his own charming way but the arrangements are downright
bizzare and make little sence even by Motown standards.They
even tacked on "Yester Me,Yester You",a fairly old single on
whitch Stevie's voice is still cracking a bit on the high notes.
An okay album with great songs like "You And Me" but there is
definately some filler here.
Assembly-Line Perfection.......2004-03-28
I've recently started a mission to collect as much classic albums by the genius Stevie Wonder-childhood & adult albums-as I can possibly obtain. So far, I have gotten most of the albums many have considered Mr. Wonder made at his artistic zenith. Of his childhood albums, so far, I've gotten "For Once In My Life" (1968) and "My Cherie Amour" (1969). Between the two, I anticipated the latter to be my most consistent favorite. I was right. When I first heard samples from "My Cherie Amour" on Amazon.com, I was enthralled by each one, despite the thirty seconds. I became determined to get the album. Now that I have it, I listen to it, enjoying every minute of it. The title track is a phenomenal ballad, "Hello Young Lovers" is a great follow-up, and "At Last" is very nice. It makes me wonder though, is the "At Last" Stevie made the same one that Etta James made? I guess I'll find out eventually. "Light My Fire" is one of the samples which first got me hyped to get the abum. Stevie makes this cover sound so good, and his harmonica playing on it keeps the head rocking. The classic standard "The Shadow Of Your Smile" has those simple lyrics I've always wanted to sing myself. Stevie dosen't sound half bad on that one. The ones that follow are modest, but Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday, Angie Girl, and I've Got You are among my vast favorites on this young Wonder-ful album.
Skip a few, love the rest.......2003-07-11
The title track to "My Cherie Amour" is one of Motown's best from the 1960's. This album is a peculiar mix of songs, some of which had been recorded as early as 1966 but held from release until this album in 1969. Following the title track is a cover of Rogers and Hammerstein's "Hello Young Lovers." It's a spritely, happy song that fits well the third song, a cover of the standard "At Last." This is done surprisingly upbeat, and is more befitting of the lyrics. I love it! This cover-crazy album features even more remakes: "Light my Fire" is set at a relaxed mid-tempo, bolstered by harmonica and occasional orchestration, and nothing exceptional (or bad) is done with the standard "The Shadow of Your Smile." The middle of the album drags a bit with a few filler songs, but picks up a bit with the hit "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday" and the soft, charming "Angie Girl." Though the album isn't exactly cohesive, there are a few delightful songs you won't find elsewhere.

Valuable compendium.......2007-01-24
This set is extremely valuable, not only as an overview of Dame Joans career but because it contains three complete LP sets that have been very hard to find. The sets are the 2 LP French opera (operetta) set, the Mozart album and the Wagner album. Although some of these do not show her to her best advantage (the Wagner set) they all have some very beautiful things and the French items are superb. The annotations and photos are interesting as well and there are some piano songs with Bonynge that are released here for the first time along with a scene from a live Covent Garden Norma.
Rareties available on CD at last!.......2006-03-29
While Joan Sutherland has recorded a number of impressive aria collections throughout the many years of her recording career, they tend to get lost in the shuffle of the countless reissues Decca/London has endlessly repackaged. While some of the original collections have appeared intact on CD--"The Art of the Prima Donna," "The Age of Bel Canto," "Love Live Forever" (her operetta collection that was originally titled "The Golden Age of Operetta"), to name a few--others are currently represented in the CD catalogue by only a few selections on discs that also include excerpts from complete opera recordings or duplicates of selections from other original collections. As a result, it has been impossible to assemble a CD collection of her recordings without a LOT of duplication, and some of the most interesting collections are still unavailable (e.g. "Command Performance" and "Serate Musicale").
While this newest set does include a lot of bits of this and that, ranging from her very first LPs to excerpts from complete recordings most Sutherland fans already have and a few "live" performances, what is perhaps most significant about it is that it features the complete contents of the "Sutherland Sings Wagner" LP--a real repertoire departure for her--and the double-LP album called "French Opera Gala" (in the U.S.--the British title was "Romantic French Arias"), neither of which, to the best of my knowledge, has been available on CD before. "Opera News" magazine once ran an article in which they asked various stars to name the one album that they felt best represented their artistry for future generations, and Dame Joan selected the "French Opera Gala," so for Sutherland fans, this is a long-awaited treat.
I'm not going to waste space saying how miraculous I consider Dame Joan's artistry. If you are familiar with her work already, you know whether you adore her or not; and if you aren't, this massive set is probably not the best place to start (that would be "The Art of the Prima Donna" album that introduced her to most listeners decades ago)--especially since this newest set doesn't contain the lyrics, a must for newcomers. Let's hope Decca/London gets around to releasing the rest of her recordings intact instead of endlessly scrambling and repackaging the same selections over and over.
Heavenly.......2006-01-31
I first heard of Dame Sutherland while on the internet while listening to a internet radio station. I was instantly a fan, her control, technique, and tone is perfectly executed and rivals the equally fantastic Maria Callas. She has a powerful voice and presence that will evoke every emotion from her listeners. Highly recommended to all Opera Diva fans.
WHO ELSE CAN SING LIKE THIS TODAY?.......2005-04-10
This is Decca's second multi disc evaluation of this fantastic singer's long career and many recordings. True that a lot on the first set is duplicated here, but there are a few exceptions here and there that make it a worthy addition. Of particular interest are the very early items of Handel and Italian baroque arias, some forgotten song recordings and a live performance of the duet from Norma. It can't be said too many times - who can sing like this today? For sheer vocalism it's hard to find anyone on the same wavelength. This set will give very young opera goers an idea of what they missed.

Music for mid life . . ........2004-06-27
On her 1993 recording "No Strings", Sheena Easton departed from the pop mainstream to record her versions of some classic standards. Two years later, now in her mid 30's, Sheena turned to the softer side of pop with "My Cherie". Backed by soft keyboards, the music is subdued compared to the dance tunes on "What Comes Naturally" (1991). There are just a couple of tunes that could even be called "danceable". Instead, the song selection reflects the maturity of the artist, both as a singer, and as a person.
The upbeat "Too Much in Love", is a bouncy number with a catchy chorus that is fun to sing along with. The title cut, "My Cherie" is a swinging pop tune, that grows on you with repeated listenings. Sheena's voice gets a workout on this energetic mid tempo number. "Next to You", is a playful light-hearted song, that provides a change of pace, and helps to spice up the collection.
Most of the rest of the tunes are slower, and not so light in tone. "Dance Away the Blues" is a beautiful, and emotion filled ballad, that Sheena handles wonderfully. The lyrics are potent, and evoke much feeling. This song is an undiscovered gem, one of the best things she's done in the 90's.
Reminiscent of her best power ballads is "You've Learned to Live Without Me". It doesn't quite touch the heart like the classic, "I'm Almost Over You", but it's still a solid effort. "Please Don't Be Scared" has a little lighter tone, but it is still very familiar territory for Sheena, and she delivers another strong vocal.
"Till Death Do Us Part" is a slow rhythmic ballad, with a melancholy vibe. A song with beautiful lyrics, that Sheena gives the full treatment. "All I Ask of You" is another slow rhythmic tune, with a rather subdued vocal, that also seems to sound better after repeated listenings.
"Flower in the Rain" is a well-constructed keyboard power ballad, that gets a slight edge from the electric guitar. "Crazy Love", finds Sheena singing to a light piano accompaniment. In the spotlight, her voice shows power, emotion and range, with the style and phrasing reminiscent of her performance on "No Strings".
Sheena Easton is a talented singer, with an expressive voice. Blessed with early success, she rose to pop stardom. When success began to slip away, Sheena became a follower of musical trends, attempting to recapture it. "No Strings" signaled an end to that chase. The music on My Cherie best suits those who like Sheena, have reached mid life and are a bit older and wiser. If that's you, give this a listen. Chances are you may relate.
Soft Pop at it's best.......2003-09-24
Although most of the music-listening public ignored this album upon its release, this is her most mature & accessable album along with her 1993 album "No Strings". This will please anyone this enjoys music of substance. "'Til Death Do Us Part" is one of her best ballads ever!!! Another solid recording from Sheena's soul to yours. Highly recommended.
MY CHERIE..........2002-06-11
This has to be one of Sheena's finest CD'S ever produced....
A very personal album that shows where Sheena was in her life at that time.....i love her self-penned TILL DEATH DO US PART and wish at the time it had been released worldwide as a single...
i also adore the whole album...worth a buy!
Not Bad.......2001-08-17
Sheena Easton's fourth(and last)album for MCA finds her channeling her inner adult contemporary muse throughout much of the project, with the results often middling to average. The title cut sounded dated, even when released in '95, and a couple of the other tracks have that same dated feel('Too Much In Love' being a chief offender). The ballads, though immaculately produced, reveal something that reared its head on WHAT COMES NATURALLY--Easton's voice sounds over-produced, almost mechanical in some instances, and lacks the fully-bodied sound that marked her as one of the eighties best pop singers. She still sounds better than alot of the disco dollies that infiltrated airwaves around the same time, but overall this is one of her slighter projects.
