One of my favourite performance of this lovely piece. I also love Kiri Te Kanawa's peerless version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lalGP1_hgyI ), Netania Davrath (https://youtu.be/-iI8tMHrD_c ), Véronique Gens (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5TVKT0HbVo&t=168s ) and also a live version (https://youtu.be/24iMnUiRjzk ), María Bayo (https://youtu.be/KWXroPCcZS8 ), Frederica von Stade (https://youtu.be/_qzMXQWX2QY ), Anna Moffo (https://youtu.be/K14SWWX19cY?t=542 )... I'd better stop there!
Spoiler (Highlight to read) When Renee Fleming released her recording of it, I thought it would be glorious. In terms of tone, it is, but the interpretation seems superficial. Still, it's never less than beautiful.
