A sequel to the album BEAUTIFUL VOICE - that sold 187,000 copies and won Fleming a Grammy for Best Classical Vocal Performance, GUILTY PLEASURES is an album of sheer indulgence: The beautiful voice of Renie Fleming in a new and very personal selection of songs and arias featuring a feast of music, much of which we might never hear her sing on stage. For our pleasure she has chosen to record many famous arias from roles which are not normally associated with her repertoire: romantic highlights from operas by Dvorak, Smetana and Tchaikovsky among many others.
