Mrs Piau is amazing. Not only one the most beautiful coloratura soprani I`ve heard, also her gifts in acting are lovely. This video always makes me smile.
She's French she's one of the most refined perfomers of almost any kind of music in the parameters of Classical Music! She's famous by her performances of Baroque and Classical music, However she has also recorded composers like debussy, and others.
ho il dvd. quest'opera è una delle piu belle regie e questo duetto è un dei punti più belli, due artiste sensazionali: brave non solo con la vocde ma anche nel recitare; regia bellissima
I'm so glad you posted this one. I kept wondering about it every time I watched the other videos of Xerxes with Paula Rasmusen and Ann Hallenberg. I knew this one should be real good. I like thos embellishments and the cadenza. So now I'm going to copy those almost exactly. (Plus I like that she's not TOO skinny).
Actually I said "I like that she's NOT TOO skinny" and that, to me is a good, healthy, normal size; not the current Hollywood, even which might be on the brink of change.
Such a joy to watch this! There are singers where I have an impression like urgh, this must be such hard work, but Sandrine ... she lets me feel she's totally enjoying herself on stage. Great!!
thnx 4 posting!! Captivating coloratura! It's a real joy to witness a superb soprano of such expressive finesse & captivating charm/stage prescence that is Sandrine Piau: a consummate classical artist of first-class; a rare breed....I have her Mozart & Handel CDs!
I really wish that Piau WAS Romilda in this production!

Sandrine Piau .. I'd never heard of her before today. What a voice. I've been
listening to her all afternoon. She's
wonderful. Is she German? Where does
she perform? I love her. Thanks for posting.

She's a superb singer... I wish she were more mainstream, though. I'd kill to hear her Cleopat
