Formerly specialising in roles that called for that special coloratura quality, her voice has matured and is ready to meet the different demands of the bel canto repertoire, that of the great Italian opera heroines. This is a much-awaited album, as it has been 3 years since Natalie has recorded a recital disc of great operatic arias, the last recital album being Amor", a programme of arias, lieder and scenes by Richard Strauss released in 2004. To accompany Natalie the first-rate baroque orchestra, the Concerto Köln, under the direction of Evelino Pidò, with whom Natalie has a special musical affinity. A very noteworthy asset to the famous aria of the Mad Scene (Lucia): the flute is here replaced by the glass harmonica, which accentuates the eeriness of the heroines downfall into folly. The album also features performances from Roberto Alagna, Karine Desayes, Matthew Rose and Franck Ferrari.

  • I know you people admire this kind music... I do too, it helps me fall asleep.

  • No instrument can bring out emotions quite like the voice. Impossible to duplicate, and may it never be.

  • Una cantante en toda la extensión del termino ,nada dejado al azar y con compromiso hasta el fondo...una muestra de buen arte. Gracias a EMI.

  • @nicolkidmanlover5201 at 6:18 "nella pace del mesto riposo" from Donizetti's Maria Stuarda (well, in opera, the title of arias is the first line of the lyrics, so you can find it like that :P ).

  • @Bloodofthejew Also, this is how she expresses herself when singing "to feel the music through her" as she has said in her interviews. I know it can seem annoying but as long as she only does that when recording....well, its a strictly vocal performance, not an acted one! So she has the right to do whatever she wans in the studio! Even dance flamengo!! haha.

  • @Bloodofthejew

    Sometimes singers have to do things like that to remind theirselves where the next note is or just to remind themselvels to keep supporting the notes coming out of their mouths . Other times they are just keeping time. Trust me, there is a method to the madness. :)

  • Listen to LUISA TETRAZZINI, MADO ROBIN, MILIZA KORJUS, ADA SARI, MELITTA HEIM, for freedom of delivery without the physical manifestations

  • @aloeffel11 omg thank you so much! :) I was going nuts!

    10:18 Ah! fors' e lui (La traviata)
