I'm always wary of selections of contemporary music released by Classically trained singers, to my ear they can never relax their voices enough to give the necessary 'dirt' required by 'pop' songs and find it almost impossible to leave behind all of those years of training that take them to the top of their chosen art.
Renee Fleming is a hugely notable exception. She has an album "Dark Hope" due for release in June 2010 and, having heard the promos, I'm licking my lips at the prospect of hearing the full versions of her chosen songs.
This is her version of Muse's "Endlessly".
