Dessay, Hallenberg, Prina & Breslik: Voglio Tempo (Handel)

[vvhvvh]

Thank you: I love this recording and thought I'd never see it again after it seemed to disappear, though others from the same session didn't.

[scarabeo37]

the best quartet ever



[BrittanyAlto]

My uncle just showed me this, it is amazing!!!

[anothertry75]

WOW!

[wellbn1]

Bella esecuzione, peccato per la patetica messinscena che non ci lusinga affatto.

[MrPinko1975]

che porcheria

[franciscobarn]

Bellezza: Voglio Tempo per risolvere... Tempo: Teco è il Tempo... Disinganno: ed il Consiglio... Piacere: ma il Consiglio è il tuo dolor. Tempo: Pria ch'io ti converto in polvere, segui il ben... Disinganno: fuggi il periglio... Piacere: tempo avrà per cangiar cor.

[MrSonyx1]

No me gusto ese gritooo dioos, un horror, pero el resto GENIAL ,

[rrytas]

Philosopher Gadamer talked about three sides of art: the symbol, the game and the festival. In this performance I think everything is beautifully tackled.

[omoetamo]

coup de theatre. tres amusant. forse Hendel si sarebbe divertito come noi perciò possiamo perdonare alla Haim e ai cantanti questo eccesso holliwoodiano. :)

[DefinitelyTheOpera]

Fantastic singing, fantastic conducting. Brava, Emmanuelle Haim!

[MissLear]

HATE THAT CONDUCTOR.

But the singers and the orchestra are great:)

[adrienbeffa]

Incroyablement baroque... dans tous les sens tu terme! Superbe et merveilleurx, comme toujours!

[saturne46]

Extraordinaire ! Tous sont bien ; Natalie Dessay est toujours aussi dynamique et pétulante, et la voix d'Ann Hallenberg a un velouté vraiment admirable.

[Monteverdiforever]

Vorrei tanto sapere perchè non è piaciuto a quei sette...Questa è musica sublime cantata a livelli stratosferici!

[lalagonegaga]

What's all the fuss about Dessay here? Who cares? O.o The moment Hallenberg opens her mouth, you get to hear what real art and style and class is. She blows 'em all away. :)

[MrPaologorgoni]

amazing :)

[aethernal]

La Dessay dovrebbe rimanere un po' più ferma. In questo video risulta solamente finta e costruita (vedere la corsa con giacca da donna impegnata senza un attimo di tregua, o il far finta di avere sbaglato pagina...).

[umvumvumvu]

What is so plain to see is the joy and energy that Emmanuelle Haim brings to her band and singers.......and why not!!!........this is in the music and it's so energizing to view.........beautiful!!!

[demeter10]

Cuál es el nombre de la directora??

[horseyak]

Funny how this one never gets old or boring....

[bubblykings]

Their voices are so angelic together! I love them!

[acitipo]

LOS CUATRO FANTASTICOS!!!!!!!

Que afiatamiento, realmente hermoso este cuarteto. Heandel realmente celestial!!!!

[buena021]

i agree with Horseyack , i think they are all playing a game in this video

[oojLoo]

Penso che sia abbastanza difficile attribuire alla Dessay le colpe di un montaggio video (e in questo ti do ragione) piuttosto stucchevole. Per quanto riguarda l'ego un po' troppo sviluppato dei cantanti, penso si tratti, ancor più che deformazione professionale, di un meccanismo di difesa che ti permette di trovare decibel ed hertzs quando ti trovi a dover cantare di fronte a centinaia di persone. Se il risultato è questo....chapeau!

[leprincebeaumont]

Per favore, legate la Dessay, vi prego! Le corsette, il finto non sapere che pagina si sta cantando e le follie da "sono una diva, ma guardate che brava! faccio l'antidiva" vanno bene per gli ingenui che non vogliono vedere che è tutta una forzatura, un' ipocrita posa. Non per chi, dietro la finta semplicità, scorge la presunzione smisurata. In Handel la Dessay resta grandiosa; ma nei ruoli da soprano lirico, beh, io la trovo forzata e anche un po' volgarotta. Ah, la presunzione!

[tuffy942]

Constantly reminded of Handel's brilliance as a composer!! And Haim and company always perform him gorgeously!! Thank you Nina!

[cannedimnsky]

Maravilloso

[lababoc]

BRAVO!!! and Thank you for posting it

[operashmop]

I love this quartet and based on this video I have bought the CD which is very enjoyable. But watching this I am left with a couple of impressions. One is that Dessay seems to not want to be a part of the group, i.e., running in late and leaving early. The other is that Hallenberg and Prina seem to be having a really good time!

[horseyak]

I wasn't at the recording session, but I would bet my house on the fact that they all devised this little playlet and gave themselves roles and attitudes to play for their own ( and the audience's ) amusement. It's called singing and acting. Dessay is playing the part of the unprepared, rushed diva who wants to appear that she's not quite sure of what she's doing, right before she blows them away with her coloratura. The rest are doing whatever else amuses them.

[SinoSene]

I think it's just editing of some already colourful personalities. As you say, putting on a show is part of what they do.

[lessandri]

i agree with you hehehe...

but...couldn't they be doind a metaphor of what they represetent? Since dessay is belezza (beauty, am I right?) she is inconstant and always running from us humans but very present in some moments when it does blow us away...and other analysis to the other actors/singers...

and I completely wrong?

[tonito60187]

@horseyak

doubt it

it just the diva playing God once again

[unagondolaunremo]

bravo tout le monde, et bravo celui qui à fait le video

[9sibra]

OH MY GOD!

[delauge]

I didnt know this quartet, it is absolutelly beautiful,amazing , solos by Dessay are excellent

[lumpylumps579]

I am quite impressed by Ms. Hallenberg. I think she was an excellent choice to replace Cecilia Bartoli for this role. I have this recording and love her interpretation of Lascia la spina, which comes right after this song on the CD.

[suzielovesmusic]

oops 3:21 I mean:-)

[suzielovesmusic]

2:52 and 3:51

AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZINGGGGGGGG­G

[lmz1692]

i love this quartet and i love that natalie is in it she is just amazing and i love her lol

[solensegunda]

Aquí sí se podría poner un aviso "Personal Trabajando". Es notable la concentración y el trabajo en equipo de esta gente. Hay que disfrutarlo porque pocas veces se reúne un elenco tan parejo...

[alcina69]

Strong, powerful and with emotion. Good stuff. Thanks

[tonito60187]

it´s a fake run , she is a "diva"

[annakim925]

This music is very interesting!!

[suzielovesmusic]

I freaking love this video...3:20-on is ridiculous

[wenzu1989]

I play violin and also the viola. I believe baroque music is the real essence of all music. In baroque music i find all sorts of emotions .. gracefullness, happiness, peacefulness, anger etc etc.

Thankyou for sharing this music i wish i could get in contact with you to share this passion.

Regards

Lawrence, Malta , Europe

[NnFfBb]

You know what I'm interested in doing... Performing Beethovens' 'Symphony no. 9 in D Minor op. 125' with Natalie Dessay on Saprano, and Sofia Prina on Contralto.

[tonito60187]

whattttt?

[escaelis]

Ah... I wish Natalie Dessay would work on more Handel... her recordings with Haim are just exquisite.

[SsteinwayS]

Agreed.

[SsteinwayS]

...Interesting...?!

[tamina59]

Très belle musique et chanteurs magnifiques, mais décidément je n'aime pas la direction "stressée" d'Emmanuelle Haïm, le tempo accéléré et les phrases musicales hachées qu'elle impose aux musiciens. Question de goût, certainement, mais je préfère une version un peu plus douce, comme le font W. Christie ou ce bon vieux JC Malgoire.

[Heartlessiceboy]

u can give me all the thumbs down that u want,that only show how ignorant r,every high voice singer know what im talking about specially the soprani

[Klassizismus]

I don't why, but somehow I've got the feeling that the three other singers don't like Natalie Dessay and even try to ignore her!

[Heartlessiceboy]

i don't want to be mean i think that too

maybe they r jealous of her...i mean they r good singers

but Natalie Dessay is the "star" the prima donna of this production

[paula975]

no i do not think so, i know very well Sonia , and she never told me this kind of feeling, she is vey respectfull about her fame and charisma!!!

[BaroqueAngelus]

I really love their voices... God They got the baroque power running through their veins.

Amazing.

[sopran21]

I love that piece so much and the music of handel is always sublime.

and looking at this video and hearing natalie with those wonderfull singers(aspecially Hallenberg) singing that piece is a reall pleaure.

[theflep]

amazing!!!!!!great video..i love Dessay!!!is a best opera singer!!!! i love her!!!!

[MorganaWalkyria]

Isn't Natalie a little away from the group? i think they're kinda jealous of her.:P:P

[tonito60187]

i think i would marry Prina if i had the chance..:)

but i had to admit she was really weak on this performance

[rullstensas]

I think Hallenberg shines the brightest here.

[rullstensas]

I think Hallenberg shines the brightest here.

[toshavery]

I much prefer the version with Nathalie Stutzmann, a truer, richer contralto than Miss Prina, who is a Mezzo trying to pass as a Contralto. She bottoms out all the time. The Mezzo Hallenberg is phenominal however and the best singer in this quartet.  Dessay is great, but I'm not convinced of her baroque.

[fiogame]

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Me gusta mas la version con Nathalie Stutzmann... Su voz de contralto es increible!

[fiogame]

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Me gusta mas la version con Nathalie Stutzmann... Su voz de contralto es increible!

[lumikide]

she's a kinda diva anyway... i love her voice but the fake run "i'm diva and i'm late" it's just a for the video... Her voice is like a spell to our ears anyway

[tonito60187]

maybe she had to go to the bathroom

you know , when you have to go ..you have to go

[lumikide]

hahahaha probably you're right

[jonathantosio]

Wow! =)

[Numeria]

this is AMAZINGGGGG! I can't stop listening to it!

[Gogona74]

Awesome!

[delnah]

Bach has his strong points as does Handel. They also have areas where they are not as strong. Bach is not God, nor his Handel, they were hard working men with incredible talent.

[delnah]

This is another example the Handel's ability to write a quartet with each part defining the character, well before Mozart. Amazing music. There is nothing in Bach Like this.

[misqellil]

Bach, that's God speaking to humans...

Bach is all

[evaeke]

If Bach is God speaking to humans, then Handel is humans speaking to humans...

[misqellil]

I was joking...Bach is all, but Haendel is wonderful too...

[escaelis]

Bach is a religious master, while Handel can not be rivaled in the secular.

[stanthology]

I got the impression that Bach could write music with a frying pan smaching squeekey toys back to people who chucked them at him.This came to me while listening to "the Bach Album" which was from the mid 1990s. Handel seems more interesting to listen to a lot of the time , but as far as just a stoned natural musician Bach had Handel beat. I don't know anything about music.I own more Handel music, but it seems Bach may be one chair closer to God.

[BaroqueAngelus]

Woooow

Dessay has a really powerful voice!!!

she sings like a nightingale!!!

I love her voice *-*

[DueTrombe]

I also love the way this piece is performed by this group. There is so much excitment and energy in it that I had to buy the CD. It is available on the Virgin Classics label.

I don't think that this is from a DVD. I heard that a friend of Natalie Dessay made these videos, probably to promote the CD.

[mimfri]

This is completely addicting. The phrasing, the musicality... Can you upload some more from this DVD? Pretty Please?

[dmin72]

Wonderful performance and voices, I often remember this melody in my mind. I love the way they sing: I mean, their energy, happiness and strenght of the pure baroque music. I can feel joy of life, enthusiasm and happiness as a result of the deep friendship among them. I also love the way they made the video, especially the ending sequence with closing theme joined to the slow running. Amazing effect. One of my best favourite videos as ever.

[CauldronBard]

i'm enjoying Contralto Sonia Prina more and more and she's funny too !

[escaelis]

I enjoy ALL of her performances. It doesn't seem like she is much appreciated though. What a great pity.

[CauldronBard]

well...she had quite a career so far...so many records and such a busy schedule ! Naive is going to release an album with her as soloist with Academia Bizantina :) i understand why low voices don't have the recognition they deserve, it's easier to cause impact with high notes. For me Contraltos are the best. if you want to hear more from sonia, just click my name i made a video wit her( a great performance- Lotario (armo lo squadro)

p.s: I mentioned Sonia prina , but the cast here is perfect!

[escaelis]

Thank you! I loved your video!

[Heartlessiceboy]

yes but if u r singer u should know that low notes r easier to handle and project that high notes,u need less air,less effort and u know perfectly in which part of the face u r going to resonate that note,but when high notes u need more air,more effort and u resonate the note with the top of your head in a resonator that u can't see, and the most of the people don't even know where it is(it's all about imaginary images of where r u taking your sound)

[fpolinelli]

ah ah you can't be serious, dude!

[Heartlessiceboy]

so fponelli r u even a singer?what tessitura do u have?

[fpolinelli]

Yes, I happen to be a singer, it's my job.Don't want to start a fight, but lower notes are NOT easier to handle and DEFINITELY NOT easier to project.Every singer knows that the real challenge with lower notes is to make them "break the sound wall" of the orchestra and reach the audience. Higher pitches "travel" better, so lower notes must be perfectly "focused" to travel the same way. Obviously the matter is far more complicated, but to be brief: tecnique is critical, expecially for hign voices.

[SsteinwayS]

This is true, I believe. My low D two octaves below middle C is a lot quieter than my D above middle C.

[hyperborean07]

Damn good stuff everybody. Brava!!

[ABlackNotes]

sorry,can i ask you why you say Brava in italian?'cause i'm italian and each time i see english people that say brava or bravo in italian and i don't understand why.... ^^

[hyperborean07]

no problem: i say brava because its what i say in opera houses after someone does an outstanding performance (or i just really like what i heard). Sometimes I say Bravo lol :P

[dmin72]

It's simple: "bravo" is referred to male people and "brava" is for female ones. ;-)

[DueTrombe]

In English and French speaking countries people often just say Bravo when someone has done a good job. But many times in opera houses people will use the other forms; brava, bravi, and brave, depending to whom they are yelling it.

[jimmyisalmaviva]

AMAAAAAZING!

[Edenborg]

I worship this clip. The joy, it's pure baroque'n'roll!

[eleanorgloria]

When was this recorded?

[llum82]

Dessay is amazing

[philiplawton]

Absolutely and amazing video - look how much fun they're having!

[horseyak]

Magnificent. Walk away from your computer screen and just listen. The voices are astounding.

[hardybee]

Agree - but it's almost impossible not to look on as they are having so much fun. Thank you to BaroqueFever

[zigeunerlieder]

Oh yes! Is fantastic: Handel, Dessay and Haim, all together. Thank you very much.

[qistjan]

bravo barock

[smnole]

a bit too fast....but even now its so cool :)

[pautalux]

They're having fun. THAT'S BAROQUE !!!

[RusskiSuperPower]

Divinely inspired.

[claudiofalcons]

explendido...grandioso muy bello un deleite para mis oidos y mi alma

[luca301178]

bravi tutti! Forza Sonia! bravaaaaaaaaaaa

[lvega69]

QUE PLACER ESCUCHAR ESTA MARAVILLA

[Amphipolis]

Million thanks fever! You are the best!

[jealouskind]

that was wonderful. thanks.

[dgviktor]

Prina=prima:)

[tamerlano]

Is it just me, is the tenor really hot...for a tenor, of course.

[feraspe]

Entirely distinguished newest Händel disk! Bravo Natalie Dessay!!! Shows it, how it is necessary to sing it! BRAVO,BRAVO! With respect!

[singerdman2000]

Is Dessay just anti-social or what? HaHa

[jazz55pl]

I agree with you, either it's intentional or you are really right :)

[escaelis]

I can definitely see Roberta Invernizzi doing this with that radiance of hers.

[mariandelochs]

Or perhaps Veronica Cangemi, who sang the role of Bellezza instead of Dessay live, with the same rest of the cast (Hallenberg, Prina, Breslik)?

[mariandelochs]

Fantastic, fun video! Love this oratorio, and this particular recording directed by Emmanuelle Haim is very highly recommended! Thanks so much for posting this wonderful video, BaroqueFever! Hope you've got some others of this recording?! Bravi to all the performers! Bravo to Handel!

[BaroqueFever]

I've uploaded one of Dessay's arias now :-)

[niklausse]

Please add some aria by Sonia Prina she´s the best in this recording!

[tamerlano]

purest joy!

[niklausse]

I liked this recording, though Sandrine Piau or Roberta Invernizzi could have done it better than Dessay

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

wow, it looks like they're all really having fun with this

[JenneEssen]

where did you get this?

is there a dvd or something?

wonderful!

[experiancemanuk]

ooooooooo you are the BEST thanks so much for all these wonderful clips love to you

[AminaBellini]

Thank´s BaroqueFever!!! I´m a very big fan of Dessay´s and also love Barroque music!!!!! This video is FANTASTIC and funny!! The four of them sing great. Please share anything else you get.

[parsonstreet]

Handel is the master of the human voice..unbeaten!!

[berlingoski]

I totally agree with you. Handel rules!

[galtetesgaltetes]

Bravi, bravi... che bella voce, e tutto bello!!

G.Pompino

[Dackelfreundin]

Thank you very much, BaroqueFever. Please upload Scarlatti and don´t forget the two other pieces of this oratorium, especially the aria with Natalie Dessay : "Tu del Ciel Ministro Eletto" . I´m now shure, that you have seen it. Please, please....

[BaroqueFever]

I've just uploaded "Tu del ciel" :-)

[Dackelfreundin]

Thats fine, it´s so nice!

[sour7lemon]

I love dessays flailing arms and hands :-P

[Alrick54]

A very, very beautiful quartet. Very powerful. Thanks a lot BaroqueFever. Wait for others like that ;-)

[BaroqueFever]

I can upload a Scarlatti quartet, if you're interested?

[sour7lemon]

PLEASE do!

[Alrick54]

Oh YES ! Please do it !!!
