A rare recording from the 70s. Listen to that strange yet quite pleasant legera voice of a really underrated French soprano.

  • What's the opera name? It seems "La gazzetta" but it is not!

  • Hi, it's "La gazza ladra" in English "The Thieving Magpie" or "The Thievish Magpie".

  • I find this woman's voice marvelous. I have loved her since hearing a recording of her singing.I am impressed by her refinement and her technique. I also love the sound of Mado Robin and Mattiwilda Dobbs.These voices have a unique sound, that's, authentically French and appeals to me. I also like Pons but there is a warmth and roundness to the others lacking in Pons. Who was a great artist and a consummate musician in her own right.I play her Coloratura Assoluta recording to pieces.

  • A French Spinto-coloratura. Mado Robin is another French coloratura (Mado reaches the stratosphere; and of course, the great Lily Pons, a lyric coloratura, who sang La Marseillese at the liberation of Paris).

    If you really want to her fantastic Lakmes, listen to these versions (or Luisa Tetrazzini, a self-trained Italian coloratura at the turn of the last century).

    Nina and Marina Koshetz are two phenomenal Russian Spinto Sopranos.

  • Beautiful!

  • it s a dream i loved her i am french and she is french i am very proud thank you we loved you mady

  • ah, the beautiful voice of a coloratura

  • Excuse me - how many singers these days can "spin" their vocal line cosi? Brava maestra Mady!

  • Very beautiful! What a voice and what a technique! Thanks for uploading!

  • @65attila You may be right. Pons was a little earlier so the recordings of her aren't as good, although the couple I have aren't bad at all. My mother, who was herself a very accomplished amateur lyric soprano, loved Lily Pons. Mado Robin, also a French soprano, would be another comparable voice.

  • @landl47

    I think Mesple had a firmer and more complete coloratura technique than Pons.

    This is glorious singing.'

    Regards-John

  • Her Lakme is the best I've heard next to Ruth Welting. I always enjoyed Mesple...such a classy singer.
