 Rating:  - full stars all the way! A must have! That's all one has to say about this! Well done Natalie. We move with you...a true actor-singer synthesis who is also very precise musically and correct in technique! Brava! Rating:  - If the girl didn't send me to the moon.........she never made me cringe, either. Callas made me cringe. Often...OK, that's not really fair...Miss Dessay is of the lyric/coloratura mold; Callas fit more in the lyrico-spinto niche. This is a well presented program of lyric and bel canto staples [and some not so staple]....it fits Miss Dessay to a T.

She reigns as one of the premier coloratura sopranos of the current era. I'm not sure that she ranks with Sumi Jo, but she surely ranks ahead of most others of her species. And her awesome high notes (listen to her in "Fruhlingstimmen," the Strauss waltz; that final note must be G or possible even A above high C? Not quite ... Read More: Rating: - Natalie DessayI bought this recording to hear the amazing coloratura of Natalie Dessay specifically displayed in stunning bel canto vocal arias from Italian opera. Rating: - Brilliant SopranoThis is just an outstanding recording. Thankfully, the future of opera is safe with the voice of Ms. Dessay. The lovely DVD of her Lucia "mad scene" is just grand. A noble addition to my library. |
