A very moving rendition of Verdi's Requiem (Libera me) by Renée Fleming


This performance took place on 23 January, 2001 in London, three days after Beverly Peck Johnson, Ms. Fleming's long-time voice teacher at Juilliard, had passed away at the age of 96.



Fleming recalled her late teacher in this interview in 2014:
