Edit to add, what I appreciate about Renee Fleming’s version of the anthem is the straightforward singing, none of those annoying melismatic decorations (especially when they hit the part of the LAND OF THE FREEEEEE <-— this is where it often gets annoying ) modern singers tend to add to the anthem.
Thanks Seek! I am definitely not an opera fan, but I felt Fleming would do a lot better job that those in the recent past.
