Sevillana by Jules Massenet - Jaroussky - Granada 2006

Well known aria "Sevillana"from the comic opera "Don Cesar de Bazan" written by Jules Massenet for coloratura soprano.The piano is a bit overwhelming but beautifully played by Ducros,and the recording is a bit echo-ey but one can appreciate Philippe's flexible and effortless singing in a repertoire very different to baroque.Thanks to Felix for this piece from the concert in Granada.Gracias.

Wonderful to hear PJ sing this delicious piece! The piece is a vocal setting of the Sévillana (which appears as an entr'acte and again as a ballet piece) in Don César de Bazan, but it was arranged by Massenet as #11 in his 4th volume of mélodies and does not appear as an aria in the opera. PJ sings it in G, a 5th down from D major. Recordings of the coloratura version were made by Melba, Galli-Curci, and Sumi Jo.

Many thanks, repetiteur, for clearing up the matter of the key and adding info which I didn't have.
