OVER THE RAINBOW   This iconic Harold Arlen & E.Y.Harburg song from the Wizard Od Oz was voted the best song of the Twentieth Century by the Recording Industry. I have never run into anyone who did not like or have strong memories of what it meant in their lives. This is almost a symphonic version withth the great diva Renee Fleming, It includes the seldom performed verse or intro and suportedby a sunptuous arrangement, At the end, Renee creates a final cadenza of her own creation to complete her live performance. This is music that transcends the many normal popular music performances we have all heard before and elevates this version  into to a concert hall or grand opera presentation.
