Listening to Natalia is like listening to a dream. Her voice is stunning, her clarity of text is superb and she is so dramatic on stage. Inspiring!

i am in awe of her Db is able to cover everything onstage..the orchestra and the chorus...shakes head

[musoph21]

i cant believe that was a B...i heard it again and i think its a Dflat. whatever it is. Its amazing. it had crying me big time! i had no idea this aria was this beautiful. WOW. this is some of puccini's best work

[kngiht84]

It's a D sharp (I think ;-), that's why some sopranos forgo the note...

[Drelnis]

No, usually it is a Db, here it is sung wonderfully, some sopranos who are not comfortable with it do forgo the note :D

However, if you strictly check with the piano, Natalia didn't sing it perfectly in tune here, but that doesn't really register when you listen to it on the recording :)

[musoph21]

god that B was unbelievable
