Lakme Battle Royale: Bell Song Coloratura
Loading...
Uploaded by baritonoguapo on Feb 15, 2008
Nearly a full century of coloratura sopranos in this clip! 10 Sopranos sing the final coloratura section of Lakme's showpiece "Où Va La Jeune Hindoue", better known as the Bell Song or Air des Clochettes.
In chronological order (as always):
1. Luisa Tetrazzini
2. Amelita Galli-Curci
3. Lily Pons
4. Mado Robin
5. Maria Callas
6. Dame Joan Sutherland
7. Mady Mesplé
8. Sumi Jo
9. Tracy Dahl
10. Natalie Dessay
If you would like to hear any of these sopranos sing the full aria, I believe all of them have versions on YouTube, though many are not the same recording used for this video.

I also like Elena Mosuc & Elizabeth Vidal, their voices are so soft and clear in the high notes.. But I like the compilation ^^

Im not trying to be a "la Divina" obsessed fan. But I do have to say. Maria gives the most color, and emotions when singing. There are so many different sounds to the voice in just that 15 second clip of her vs all the other women.

No one, ever, had that dazzling bell-like tone of Sutherland.
-
:( No Damrau?
-
why you didnt put Gruberova in the list she is my favorite doing this aria
-
Dame does it best!!!
