this is a miracle of writing for the coloratura soprano voice and is endlessly fascinating. Dessay can do anything in this sort of repertoire because it's in her voice, but it's not a beautiful sound or grateful on the ear. She can act the socks off any other singer and her technique is formidable, but her sound is just flat and boring and nowhere near as remarkable as her technique. I'd love to love her but I just don't
the thing about dessay is she is not actually a natural coloratura. she has a very warm, built, closed sound, which is hard to negotiate with true grounded-in-legato coloratura technique- (like sutherland and sills had, and which i think damrau is the best at today). she must have achieved her technique through sheer work-ethic. it's interesting hearing the difference between her singing coloratura pieces and stuff in the lyric soprano fach, like manon. you might like her better doing that...
i prefer this version! it doesn´t sound at all exhausting, the coloraturas are totally exact and her timbre is warm and soft! where dit you learn this technique, dear Natalie?

Sounds like Dessay is channeling Sills in this. Good for her!

Very good! But I would prefer the young Gruberova singing that song.

Check out Hila Plitmann's version of this here on youtube. It's very interesting.
