  • @1972jewish

    yes, jewish french is horrible to sing Berlioz, i'd rather prefer swahili

  • This performance shows what a dramatically compelling performer Dame Janet was. I treasure the times i heard her live as a young lad. I too would have prefered French, but as a lesson on how to sing in English it is exemplary. The sensitivity and emotion are evident. May she continue to have a happy and peaceful retirement

  • Baker est bouleversante meme en Anglais.L'emotion est la.

    Seule Crespin....

  • @1972jewish jajaja, indeed! Those diferent vowels are driving me just maaad!

  • My favourite mezzo of all times!!!

  • @lullybasblancs I can't seem to find it but I know that there was a posting of Dame Janet singing this in French. It may have been removed. Too bad, it was truly stunning.

  • le français est un language horrible!

  • Her French diction was also exemplary. I think she might have sung this role in French, as well.

  • Gorgeous tone, thoughtful acting, and perfect diction! No one like her today: her voice is immediately recognizable. I am so glad to have seen this!
