Si je ne me trompe, une des rares version "live" et filmée (la seule sur YouTube ?), enregistrée dans des conditions non professionnelles méritoires à Montréal en 1996.
Pour un certain qui n'aime pas la pièce de Berlioz, elle fut effectivement refusée au concours du prix de Rome, en 1829 !
Stunning. And it appears she can do anything, at least judging by the clips on YTube. Does anyone know if there any plans for her to sing in NYC anytime soon?
Olga Borodina and Gens also give great renditions although I think this piece benfits a bit more from Borodina and Podles richer voices, but all are great.
this woman can sing Rossini is a Rossianian Goddess then jump to slow deeply drammatic Mahler with vocal shades that remind of the legendary Kathleen Ferrier and then back to Verdi and Puccini
Voix énorme à la couleur étrange. Un vrai tempérament qui a toutes les notes de cette cantate difficile. Bravo pour cette diction française ! une grande artiste que j'aimerais entendre + souvent en France.
A couple of weeks ago we heard Susan Graham do this with the NY Philharmonic - it was absolutely wonderful, both her singing and the orchestra. A perfect performance. My heart was pounding by the time the asp strikes. Susan Graham "owns" this piece!!!
¡Excelente! ¡Ave María, qué colocación tan bárbara! Ya quisiera yo colocar así mi voz. ¡Arriba las contraltos! Y los videos con arias de Rossini que canta ella, fenomenales. DLB por su gran voz.
Podles is a true coloratura contralto...a phenomenal voice. I've seen her in Tancredi, Rodelinda, Trovatore, and twice in recital. And was fortunate to have dined with her twice. The voice is huge, flexible, and with great range - as this video indicates. She is expressive and a convincing actress. One of the subline opera singers of our time. Search out her performances and go. She never disappoints.

a piece that many sopranos couldn't sing... and she does this way!

This piece is perfect, sadly the musically conservative morons in Paris at the time thought the exact opposite.

Larmore recorded this (and has sung it in the States and abroad) and it should be out in the next month. Should be great.

Has anyone ever heard Janet Baker do this? It's incredible.
How about posting Part II of the piece? That's the best part!

I saw her in Giulio Cesare and in recital and she has one of the most remarkable voices in opera today. Rich, dark, and expressive.
