  • @intelegentable I agree. Ninon Vallin, Yvonne Gall, Fanny Heldy, Alma Gluck, Edith Mason, Lucrezia Bori, Jacqueline Brumaire...

  • @hobo1975 I am a great Melba fan, and she sings this very beautifully. But as a quite explicit reminiscence of sexual love, which is what the words of this air are, Mary Garden has it on all interpreters, ancient and modern. Melba's pure, disembodied tones are about something else entirely.

  • @AulicExclusiva really?i prefer Melba,her rock steady voice and purity seems perfect for the aria.

  • Dorothy Maynor's version of this aria deserves to be included as it is one of the most beautiful interpretations on record. Kathleen Battle also does a lovely job of this aria. Moore, Kirsten,Steber, Sills,Price and Fleming do it well also. Hell I love this aria

  • A love the nervous timbre of this unique soprano. She has something chique in her presentation. I don't know what it is. But I adore her. Especially in this aria and her interpretation of Pellëas et Mëlisande.

    We are happy people to hear all these fantastic voices of today and of the past.....

  • @Bivolari - One can "fall in love" prior to falling into sex. Just my opinion. ;- )

  • @AulicExclusiva Cool. I didn't know her parents were Scottish. I did know that they both studied in France...Marchesi for both...although Garden didn't stick with her for very long. Cheers!

  • @justasondheimbaby Certainly Melba was born in Australia, but both her parents were born in Scotland.

    Garden was born in Scotland, but brought up in America. BOTH were trained in France.
