Opera soprano Renée Fleming is a familiar face on the world's greatest opera stages, but on her latest CD, "Haunted Heart," she leaps to the worlds of jazz, pop, and folk. On this special edition of Soundcheck, Fleming joins pianist Fred Hersch to offer a live performance of jazz and pop standards in the studio. Included is music from Joni Mitchell’s classic 1971 "Blue" release, the standard "Love for Sale," and exclusive archival performances from Fleming’s earliest days as a young college student.
