Natalie Dessay - Bellini - Oh quante volte

[NannyAasiyah]

what an amazing voice thanks for uploading it and allowing people to share in the beauty

[MsMay64]

Very beautiful voice. Fantastic!!!!!:)

[icylakepaxphile]

i don't know why this medicore singer is world famous? not beautiful as Anna, Angela, not has perfect fragile, coloatura skill as Sumi, and not has full, attractive dark coloatura voice as Devia and Dessi. so plain.

[Cissy97]

The voice is tattered, and even if not, too light for Bellini, who requires a very lyrical, but still fuller, voice.

[eline227]

I would love to be such great soprano as she is:) ...she is born to sing Bellini

[Lily161]

I'm looking for other opera airs of this kind -melancholic- do you have any that you can suggest me ?

Cheers

[flybutter999]

@Lily161 "ah non credea mirarti" from Sonnambula (Bellini)

"Tacea la notte Placida" e "D'amor sull'ali rosee" from Trovatore (Verdi)

These are my favourite...

[bodiloto]

tecnica di voce italiana,no,colore di voce per poter  cantare Bellini,no e allora ? Bravi tecnici di suono !

[Manrico1]

I've always liked Dessay but here I think she is wobbling a little bit...

[TheHellonEarth]

fantastic....Natalie forever and ever...

[filaredo]

Right, it's only my opinion.

[filaredo]

Bad bad singing!

She has a dynamic range of a popera singer, no depth, no variety of tones, monotonous, shallow, very poor enunciation of the lyrics, no precise control of dynamics and screams the high tones.

Bellini is to difficult for theirs tiny voice!!

[raigekimaru]

I don't think she sounds monotonous or shallow at all. I think she sounds sexy. you're entitled to your opinion though :)

[madziua90]

I can't agree... she sings so beautifully... 'screams the high tones'?? what do you mean? all high notes are good I think...

and monotonous? the aria is, but she's not

but it's your opinion

[primohomme]

@madziua90

This aria is NOT monotonous, it is deeply melancholic and passionate. Bellini is a genius.

[Shaiandshira]

@filaredo I even listened to it again after reading your comment. she sang all of the high notes so gently that even if you didn't like it, it was far from screaming. I really liked her gentle take on it, I think it matches the scene much better than a big voice "blasting" through it. and she is coloratura- so no she does not have a big lyric voice, but tiny you say? not tiny at all. I also understood pretty much everything she said. and she is known as one of the greatest actresses in opera

[evangelineireland]

I love how Bellini recycled Dopo l'oscura nembo for this aria...he obviously knew it was a winning melody - just beautiful

[UrsulanChild]

Kudos! I'm glad that someone else knows the history behind this gem. It is beautiful, isn't it?

[nataliedessaylove]

could i buy any of her albums in hmv? if not then where? x

[etinlacente]

Mi inchino.

[Nimajoon31]

well done!

[paulasvo]

wow

[SsteinwayS]

Beautiful! I'm wondering if you might post the "Eccomi in lieta vesta" from this album as well?

[colibridelapampa]

Encantadora interpretación!!! Delicioso fraseo...10/10

[Aygii24]

beautiful

[allucinogeno]

I cry everytime I watch this video.

Thank you, I think it's the most amazing thing I've ever heard.

[velazquez2009]

did you hear Dessay sing credete al mio dolor from Handel's Alcina? Even more emotional than this piece!

[dakewose]

OMG!!! What a singer! Natalie dessay is such an artist, her voice is so pure and refined.

The ones who criticize her are idiots.

[sopjungah]

I love her voice... So clear and beautiful..

[543johnson]

Belissima!!!

[raigekimaru]

not only is this piece gorgous, it's completely believable. she actually looks the way she sounds

[Musettaprof]

¡Que maravilla!

[alexandriusgirl]

It's so nice to finally hear this aria sung by a true light lyric coloratura... Brings me hope that not all the parts in opera will be taken over by "fat" lyric sopranos..

[raigekimaru]

enchanting. the quintecential lyric coloratura soprano voice.

[Operaphile]

God I can't wait to get this CD!!!!!!!

[DessayBestSinger]

I've got it... ;P

[Operaphile]

Pppphhhh, I blow my nose in your general direction! ;p Woe is me living down in the antipodes :(

[DessayBestSinger]

I true...I live near Natalie comparing to you...but I think I'm too far from her...I live in Spain (but I'm french) and she lives in Paris...something like...1600 km ssepare me from her :(

[gypsycafe]

She sounds amazing! I love this woman!

[catthh22]

Beautiful !!! The best song of the CD !!! AMAZING VOICE!

[niklausse]

I agree! this is the best aria in this cd, it´s exquisite!

[Colleendelgado1]

This is truly amazing.

[eleanorgloria]

This is beautiful. Thank you
