Natalie Dessay - Les oiseaux dans la charmille - English Subs - Les Contes d'Hoffmann

[VBF56PTDR]

c'est super!

[VBF56MDR]

génial!!!!!

[Tosycyzkiewicy]

I adore this dynamic staging of the aria and the playfulness and lightness of Natalie Dessay. Luciana Serra sings also perfectly but the staging is static and less interesting.

[Ballira]

I was too drawn in by watching the movement (especially the giant dolls) to watch the subtitles. This is my third time and I've still only caught snippets. XD

[littlezelina]

@Ballira It's okay- the words to this aria are not really part of the story anyway.

[TheJMSalinas]

those huge dolls really freak me out!!! lol but I love t his performance!!!!!

[noonkaya]

wowowowow excelente!!! muy buena!

[telephilia]

I can't take my eyes off those giant dolls!

[erinpickering]

Is it just me or is she slightly sharp throughout most of the aria?

[littlezelina]

@erinpickering If she is, then so is everyone else. I think it might be the acoustics.

[erinpickering]

@littlezelina I disagree - when the chorus is singing, they are very well in tune with the orchestra - however, she is slightly sharp. Don't get me wrong, she has great control over her voice and the runs, but to me, I don't think she can hear herself very well in this arena.

[Jaluzaga]

That was perfect.

3:01

hola veo que hablas espanol resulta que yo estudio canto y me dejaron esta aria y me encanta y me preguntaba si no la tienes con subtitulos en espanol entiendo el ingles pero hay ciertas palabras que no las se y te agradeceria muchisimo si la pudieras subir con subtitulos en espanol

[gman20101]

this is from live transmission from Orange (festival 2000) Bel Air media France 2 and MEZZO. I have this performance (6,7 Gb = 2 X DVD5). In my opinion this version is not the best, performance at MET 2009 is much much better. But Dessay is very good Olympia, it is no secret.

[Ma3Hu1]

I love Natalie, she's great, she's fun and one of the best coloraturists of our generation. Greets from Berlin.

[543johnson]

What production is this?

[eline227]

@543johnson This was preformed in festival of Aix-en-Provence, you can see the wind blowing, they have teatre in the open air there.

[thecelticspirit]

@eline227 Nop, I think it's Orange.

[eline227]

@thecelticspirit That also makes sense:)

[fromheretoglory]

[thecelticspirit]

No puedo estar más de acuerdo ;)

[CrystalFlames]

And that is the difference between a soprano and a coloratura. Brava!

[kashmircustard]

Coloratura generally applies to a coloratura soprano, which is a soprano who sings very elaborate arias with trills and staccati, usually in a higher range. Coloratura can refer for any vocal range, it really just means the type of singing. However, when you break up the soprano - dramatic, lyric, and coloratura - it usually refers to the highest range of a soprano.

I don't know about the other vocal ranges, since I'm a soprano myself and training to be a coloratura, but I hope that helps.

[kashmircustard]

@CrystalFlames

Oh, my bad, I thought I read "what is the difference". Well, maybe I'll finally make that eye appointment everyone's been telling me to schedule...

[Cronnies]

no words can describe this preformance. bravo!

[Vitjasrk]

Flawless:-) How perfect she is:-) I love her sooo much

[sopranoms]

Natalie is the best for this role. I need French lessons from her.
