Mon Coeur s'ouvre à ta voix

Marilyn Horne, Jon Vickers

Samson et Dalila
Camille Saint-Saëns (1877)

Jean Fournet, MET, 1987

Two old hands show us how it's done.
This was Vickers' farewell performance at the MET, as well as the only time Horne performed Dalila there.

  • wow, if jon vickers punched that last high note any harder, i think his head would've exploded.

  • Sometimes to make comparisons is pointless. It is like comparing a Strativarious with an Amati violin. They are both beautiful resounding instruments, both with their individual color. It is just a matter of taste. This is one of the loveliest mezzo arias in the history of opera. It is always worth a tear - the orchestration and the supporting male voice, make this a true experience in listening pleasure.

  • @MssPrss2005 It's just a SIb ..

    

  • I had not heard her as Dalila, what a beautiful rich voice, very sensual

  • Awesome!

  • @MssPrss2005 I am not trying to be ugly or knock what you are saying but Vickers had a HUGE I mean HUGE voice. That is why he was a true heldon tenor were their tesetura is lower than most dramatic tenors.

  • voce fuori repertorio .

  • Bravo ! Enfin une oreille de qualité sur cette vidéo qui est exactement l'inverse de ce que l'on peut attendre dans Dalila. C'est bien chanté, certes, mais voilà une Dalila qui ne charme personne : c'est problématique pour un opéra qui ne tourne qu'autour de cela, justement.

  • Fucking awesome

  • I love this woman. She sings so amazing. And I love that she never developed the wabble that so many develope at an older age. Simply outstanding.

  • This feels a bit like Marilyn is struggling with the slowish tempo.

  • Vickers just is (was) the greatest. Outshines them all!
