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.

I seem to hear a "clavecin" in this piece of music, and obviously Haïm is not playing, where can I find a complete list of credit of the musicians in this most enjoyable piece?

[MrHbc3]

There's a CD.

[MrHbc3]

It, like most or all of Natalie's videos, had an "in production" video made by EMI/Virgin. Over the years there must have been at least 500 videos about Natalie. She is such a trip. It may be a friend, but it was done for Virgin.

[MrHbc3]

You are right. This series is an edited collection of shots by whoever filmed it for Virgin Records. There are lots of Dessay practice, recording and messing around videos put out by the company. All of them have more than a bit of informality. As for BEING diva, Dessay is always polite, respectful, kind, easy to work with, etc. .. except when she's horsing around with a friend. Click on Dessay Delerio for an example of that with Haim. It's Handel and not harmful.

[MrHbc3]

You're right, lessandri. But Prina's part is a pain in the ass complainer and she's (as usual for her) happy as a lark.

[MrHbc3]

I do like Hallenberg, but LOVE Dessay. I would not like to insult any singers.... you must like to do that. People are all different.

[MrHbc3]

Oh, and (Miss Lear) Emmanuelle choses and directs the singers and orchestra.... and formed the orchestra originally.

[MrHbc3]

You hate her, I love her. I have a goodly number of her CDs and it is truly interesting some of the stuff she has recorded with Natalie Dessay. She is a very respected conductor generally.

[MrHbc3]

Paris is a hotbed of variations on the theme of music. Dessay, who is my favorite singer ever, not mostly for her voice, but for her technique, interpretation, acting ability and personality. She is a close friend of Haim, who also lives in Paris, and who is one of my favorite directors. I also have listened to this clip many times. This is a four way argument. Pleasure and Beauty versus Time and whatever Prina sings. It's something like Disapproval.
