Contes d'Hoffmann-Les oiseaux... Natalie dessay

Sentirla cantare fa credere che lassù esista veramente qualcosa....

She didn't falter a single bit when she was on the ground going backwards either. It's unfair how good she is. lol

Lovely voice, loved the video. thanks for sharing!

Well, there was one note at 5:08 but no big deal. This is definately one of my favorite performances of this song.

32 % d'augmentation en pleine crise ! Et mon oeil !!!! Cette divette veut vraiment nous faire prendre des vessies pour des lanternes !

FAUX!! :D ils ont augmenté de 32% :)

Tes trop con toi!!!

I LOVE the creepy kind of Asylum setting and the slowed down tempo...and of course that stunning high note on the end...Natalie is sublime :)

How rarely do sopranos do the High Aflat like Dessay does here? (If it isn't Aflat, correct me please!) I persoanlly liek it better. What is written in the score and what is the cadenza? Usually it's just to the E, right? Why did she do the High A this time and not other times, i wonder?

It's pretty rare, most lyric coloraturas don't have that kind of range. Natalie is a sfogato-Aflats for them are like Fs for the rest of us ;) Eflats are in the score and cadenza.
