Natalie Dessay & Delphine Haidan - "Flower duet" from Lakme

[MyLolo38]

Tout simplement enchanteur.... quel bonheur !

[RockInBabyLove]

Juste: Magnifique

"merci"

[Lester629]

When I'm listening to this song, I close my eyes and imagine that I'm in another place where there was a garden full of beautiful flowers in the night...

[Aurum777999]

wonderfull!!!

[pato424]

thank you for uploading such a jewel !!!

[cdcotr]

I do not know what they are singing about, but not understanding the words in no way hinders me from enjoying this wonderful music. It is beautiful and makes me think of a perfect late afternoon in early summer, perhaps laying in a hammock in a garden somewhere enjoying the breeze and gazing at flowers.

Sorry to go on and be so corny but there it is! LOL!

[tedfin2004]

Do people press the dislike button just to wind other others up or what? Im no opera expert but this really is lovely music.

[revacohen]

@tedfin2004 No, they're probably listening to Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus.

[parthyaham]

This really is the best version ever. Perhaps because Dessay and Haidan are both french-speakers, and their diction is clear, which adds to the beauty of the piece. Most inspiring, though, are the comments that this piece inspires in all its different versions, especially here, where rudeness and disparagement are so often the order of the day.

My favourite is this one by kamelotfan23

"This is so wonderful....I have no words to accurately describe how this music makes me feel. Pure beauty."

[bobduvar]

Pardon pour mes références populaires mais cet air d'Opéra me rappelle la pub de British Airways et mon premier vol en avion. C'était un Marseille Provence- Londres Gatwick-Dubaï......

Du rêve à l'état pur.....

[EylliaeD]

@bobduvar Salut! Ce ne sont pas des références populaires, bien au contraire! Ton esprit l'a mémorisé et c'est super !

[JASMIN362]

Calma el animal que llevo dentro me hace sentir lo mejor que hay en mi………

[NoDoyPieConBola]

Bellísimo ♫

[Artsettimavn]

Dessay is the gold standard for LAKME. Once you hear her sing this, all the other versions fall short.

[silpaton]

¡¡Es como un himno celestial!!

[SuperSoprano2010]

Simply Beautiful

[glynbrain]

Of course it has a plot. Unfortunately it is that British officers are swine because they think more of thier Regiments than their women. Understandable, since it's in French.

[hymnofashes]

@glynbrain B.F. Pinkerton is an asshole and he approves this message.

[hymnofashes]

I am disappointed that Lakme evidently has no plot. This music blows my mind.

[keydet72]

At long last I've finally heard the definitive version of this lovely work. Dessay and Haidan are a perfect blend of power and delicacy.

[egasxxi]

Esta es la mejor versión que he escuchado, hermosísima! el sonido espectacular! Gracias!

[keydet72]

@egasxxi Tienes razon senor, esta es la mejor.

[SaraDawood]

absolutely amazing :))

[frankgillan]

Wonderful singing, two lovely talented ladies

[senjakdedinje4658]

bozanska muzika

[paronka90]

its a beautiful music!!!!!44

[tuner049]

I agree with you, this is probably the best performance of the song ever made.

Many duets have made amazing vocal performances, but no one has also achieve such a clear and precise diction.

I guess no one has also sung Lakme so many times with different partners as Nathalie Dessay did, maybe except Mado Robin.

Anyway, thanks for posting it and in such a good audio quality !!!

[adrianc29]

I also noticed the diction and having French as the mother tongue helps, I guess :-)

[Equilibrio2008]

Thanks for posting

[hiflip57]

I really enjoyed their live performance video, but the quality wasn't as fine as this one. This was truly "Breathtaking".

[mallcin]

I've heard it first time in Polish radio in my car... That is so amazing to listen to it that i started listening to the opera music since then...

[kamelrykee]

One of the best renditions I ve heard so far.

[Anengiyefa]

This is the best rendition of Viens Mallika I've heard. Absolutely amazing!

[hugo1089]

beautiful...

[lilyballerina]

i'm so happy i found a version of this with Natalie Dessay!! i'm singing this piece with a friend of mine next year for my junior recital (college) and this is probably the best version i've heard of it!!

[Xxmichiru90xX]

try elina garanca and anna netrebko, i love the version too

[roxy17ds]

haunting and enchanting at the same time...

[CrushOfLove76]

Peut-être le plus beau duo qui soit. Voix complémentaires, harmonie, grâce ... le tout est d'une subtilité confondante.

[risan01]

this is how it should be sung

[cirufab]

This song is so beautiful but it was played as a sound track in some horror movie.

[NZmozzeegirl]

gorgeous...but the cute puppy stole the show! lol...funny!

[TourneledosRossini]

quel brouhaha chez les brahmanes

[dadasorin]

Impressive...

[cricri3005]
