    I was listening her when I decided to be an opera singer. I was not even able to breath properly but she was touching my heart... Now I'm a graduated opera actress, even won a competition and trying to build a career to myself and she can still touch my heart and make me amazed by her voice.

    No words....truly NO WORDS are enough....my goodness....this woman is the very definition of the perfect artist....being so good as to have a voice that has a "mechanical" precision and control is one thing but.....having a "mechanical" precision and control AND adding so much expression and emotion through the voice....is what makes you the ultimate Opera Singer....I thought in 3 years i came to know Mrs. Dessay but....for once more she surprised me...

  • @MikeInBeantown

    I fell in love with this aria 45 years ago - but even more now with this wonderful interpretation. Dessay's control and her restrained and nuanced trills and turns are extraordinary. Haim and the orchestra support her with balance. The overall sense of love of the music, without concern for bravura, makes this the best I've heard.

    Here she is still with a healthy voice despite two surgeries. if you see her live performances you understand why she worn out, she lived and performed each performance as it is were her final one. Such delicate instrument cannot cope too long with that treatment....but what a wonderful experiences and generosity. Not too many singers can make you cry and feel like she does.

Listen to her singing 'Tornami a vagheggiar'; there are two versions available on here at the moment - the live version is enchanting!

    I discovered Natalie Dessay on youtube and I became a huge fan since then. I really recommend 'Nuit d'Etoiles' from Debussy, or "Les oiseaux dans la charmilles" that Natalie sings perfectly. The documentary (with english Subs) about her vocal cords operations if quite moving and let us enter in her life, which is I think very intimate and touching. As many comments say, her voice is pure, such a pleasure to listen to. I am so happy I found tickets for her recital in Bordeaux in May 2019, can't wait to witness the performance of my favorite artist !!!

      It's very common for other Baroque singers, too... I see it often with Philippe Jarrousky and other countertenors, so I think it may have to do with intonation (as most period ensembles play about a step lower than modern pitch) but also as you said maintaining a good vibrato in a drier space

    I heard this aria so many times sung by many different, stunning singers including in theatre. The piece itself never fails to touch me thanks to clever Händel. But this redition by Dessay is special! The emotional outpour in the second A part makes me tear up and shiver every time. It's the most genuine interpretation I ever heard. It's like she became Cleo in that moment. Phenomenial.

  • @killerbunny123123
    @killerbunny123123 Před 11 lety +1

    Actually, thats how Dessay behaves when NOT on show. When she is recording or rehearsing, she always gesticulates, and very heavily so. When she was asked about it she stated that because of her immense love for acting and because she focuses much more on it rather than music, she has to do these gestures because it makes it easier for her to better feel the music and externalize it. This is how she is used to do it. One can only imagine how hard it is for her to sing in public and restrain it.

    @Sbordomus Well, in terms of singing, she's not my absolute favourite, but she is my favourite VOICE...I love her timbre. About her "air swimming"...this is a unique thing she does only when recording...she says it's because she is normally busy acting onstage (and she does get busy!) so she "compensates for the drama" when recording and when she thinks no one's watching...but we are, of course! :) In concert, she's motionless - very few gestures and very elegant. :)
