Query: A Handel Don't

My initial reaction on hearing this recording was to deaccession it at once. On better thought, I decided to hold onto it as a striking example of how NOT to sing the music of Handel. Nothing works here: the garbled coloratura, the inept dynamics, the cardboard emotions, the lack of arc. The performances convey no hint of sensitivity. Ms. Fleming's warm voice has been much better deployed in other repertory, like Strauss. But this won't do.Perhaps more distressing than the singing itself is the rabid loyalty of the Flemingites, who obviously consider this singer to be the Second Coming of Callas. This is a discredit to the singer herself, who has remarkable talent and poise and has no need of mindless fans to protect her from her mistakes.To the fledgling singers who admire this recording so much, I would urge a broader scope. A future of Handelian singing in this mold is a very discouraging prospect indeed.
