Pourquoi madame Melba a t'elle interprété cet air? Désolé, mais : elle avait picolé?

Douglasio,
This is BEAUTIFUL!
You really should go to an opera and have Peach Melba before or after.
It is the most delicious of deserts just as Nellie's voice is most Exquisite! :-)

In one sense, the recording is all wrong: the French pronunciation, the style, even the fact it is a tenor aria. And yet, at the same time, it is so right! Another part of the enigma of Melba, the singer and the person.

Do you know that the dish
- Peach Melba -
was created for her

Singing of the highest order. TY Doug.

Sung with great authority. Yes, the trill is beautiful and the end lovely. She is one of the singers I wish I could have heard in the house!

Not to mention that unique Melba sense of rhythm, the same rare quality that made her Tosti Matinatta unique.
There are a couple of Aussi diphthongs in this that made my eyelashes curl, but the lilt and floated grace of her singing are irresistible.
Pourquoi a t-elle chanté cet air?
