In my opinion Natalie Dessay is the most enchanting soprano in the world today. She is a high soprano, of the Lily Pons and Erna Berger variety. Her voice is sublime, and her vocal technique and acting ability are flawless. This DVD displays her unique talent in a wide variety of roles.
Awe Inspiring Performances by Natalie Dessay
It is so easy to fall in love with Natalie Dessay's voice, looks, and animation. She is easily in command of the
performed piece. This DVD contains quite a number of different segments taken from operas in which she has
sung. The most memorable is the "Voice of Spring" by Strauss within the opera "Der Fleidermaus" where Natalie
literally electrifies the audience and this viewer with her rendition. She also hits high F's in the "Magic Flute" number. Her comments are very interesting and greatly add to her performances. Wish there were more DVD's like this one. She truly is a "Miracle Voice".
DIVA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What more can I say about this wonderful singer ?
Cristaline voice , effortless performances ........
Really divine !!!
Has some good moments but overall just so-so
My biggest complaint is the inclusion of several versions of the same aria. This may be OK for hearing once, but is not something I want to hear every time I play the DVD. Dessay sings well (sometimes very well) but some of the supporting cast seem bored. Also I have seen better interpirtations of some of the scenes. Dessay has made better DVDs.
Opera par excellence
Natalie Dessay is apsolutely marvellous in this wonderful DVD. If you love the operatic voice, this is
certainly a terrific choice. She gives a tour de force at every level, and if you cannot see her in person
on the stage, than this is the way to go.
