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.

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.

I think Mesple had a firmer and more complete coloratura technique than Pons.
This is glorious singing.'

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