Reynaldo Hahn (Caracas1875 - Paris1947)

"A Chloris" (poem by Théophile de Viau, Clairac 1590- Paris 1626), 1913.

Marie-Nicole Lemieux, contralto
Daniel Blumenthal, piano

"S'il est vrai, Chloris, que tu m'aimes,
Mais j'entends, que tu m'aimes bien,
Je ne crois point que les rois mêmes
Aient un bonheur pareil au mien.
Que la mort serait importune
De venir changer ma fortune
A la félicité des cieux!
Tout ce qu'on dit de l'ambroisie
Ne touche point ma fantaisie
Au prix des grâces de tes yeux.

  • What an incredibly beautiful voice, what a delicate and sensitive rendition !!!

    I am ecstatic.

    Marie-Nicole, vous êtes une déesse !!!

  • Simply amazing to listen too.

    This is what is needed for this song, this genre, a contralto. I love Philippe Jarrousky and we shouldn't compare, because his rendition is exquisite as well, but this, this thissss... aah, this takes me to heaven... A good contralto again, could it be, finally, please tell me yesss

  • Actually, on YT there can be very helpful discussions. Before I thought that it's only logical if a MAN sings this beautiful song about his love towards a WOMAN, and not a woman about another woman. But I was told that Susan Graham sings it so beautifully and tenderly thinking about her DAUGHTER!:-) Well, then I accept it in a woman's interpretation too. Perhaps Lemieux sings her tender and emotional version thinking about HER daughter, or niece, any little girl at all? Anybody knows?:-)

  • Es hermoso como canta Hahn!!! Quién pudo votar en forma negativa esto?

  • realmente una interpretacion tanto de voz como de piano exquisitas

  • Bravo.

    Voilà une très belle démonstration de chant : un son toujours soutenu. Une voix libérée, (en témoigne le vibrato qui est parfaitement dosé) des harmoniques aigües exceptionnelles, aucun engorgement. Un texte très clair.

    Et oui, on peut-être contralto et chanter purement sans vieillir sa voix.

    Et au delà de tout ça, de l'émotion!

    Merci d'avoir posté ce morceau qui devient une référence.

  • MARAVILLOSA...

    MUCHAS GRACIAS...

  • Très beau! Merci à vous operazaile

  • Very nice. Beautiful song. The best version I've ever heard is Nicholas Spanos's.
