Natalie Dessay: Der Holle Rache EARLY IN CAREER!

Natalie Dessay singing Mozart's Der Holle Rache at a recital (with piano accompaniment) very early in her carrer (it seems, as her voice is not as mature and there are little bravos and such).

A very interesting one to listen to! I find it to be her best one.

One of my favorite coloratura soprano arias! Very well done! I'd love to be able to sing this myself but I don't have the control it requires to produce those stellar notes!

[sour7lemon]

It certainly takes some major control and breath support to pop those F's out perfectly! I've worked on this aria a little, its a killer!

[mradaChris]

I hear you! I can only hit those notes with reverse intonation, so conceivably I could produce them through normal intonation. But it is a killer!

[sour7lemon]

Just coming back to this video and saw this comment again... and i'm curious! What's reverse intonation?

[leoperarm]

Amazing! Thank You sooo much! Probably her best rendition of this aria ;)

[sour7lemon]

I think so too!

Seriously, one guy received five stars on Youtube for doing nothing but smoking a pipe. WTF.

[littleyellowgrl48]

Why the hell didn't this get five stars?

@volcan313 This was from 1991 :)

I never truly liked her F6s - they lack Crystal Bell resonance and clarity.

Ofc very few sang the F6s with bell-like resonance

[LeCoconut]

She's alright here, but dang she's like a million times better than that now!

Just beautiful around 2:12

qui cantava ancora bene

@sour7lemon Please do sing it. If you're able to hit the F anymore. What's your range out of curiosity?

[nosenipples]

Reverse intonation sounds interesting... I should youtube it. Funnily enough, I whistle that way..

[mradaChris]

As I understand it, it is basically breathing in to form the sound. So basically singing backwards. You can get better control on the cords as the air is being inhaled instead of being exhaled. The idea is that if you sing this way and hit a certain note, then you should be able to sing by exhaling to produce the sound. Takes a lot of practice.
