where is the vid of the segedilla from this same recording? it used to be here on youtube.

08:25-0:8:30, love how she strongly shouts "tiens!" in the moment, in the finale, just before Carmen is stabbed, when she throws the love ring Jose had given her...this was great to watch, but Jessye's voice isn't suited to Carmen, it's far too heroic and Wagnerian. She can sing Carmen quite excitingly and this was only a taping of the recording. Amazing stuff.

[SHICOFF1]

Bravo Shicoff! Fantastic Don Jose in every way. The complete recording they are rehearsing for is excellent.

Amazing what it takes to record these pieces!

[martello79]

@breakaliciouskid786 that is good to hear! just let me know when you have reached the level to sing this duet and we can try it together ;)

@breakaliciouskid786 alors si vous pensez que Noman est la meilleure dans ce rôle c'est que vous n'y avez ecoute qu'elle ! Desole mais je persiste a dire qu'elle y est tres mauvaise, non sur le plan vocal mais sur celui du style et de l'interpretation du personnage.

[breakaliciouskid786]

@romondesbert Non, je pense que Mrs.Norman, est magnifique et elle reste le meilleur chanteur de l'opéra qui n'a jamais chanté ce rôle.
