I agree I've listened to 20 versions this is ny opinion the most difficult aria ever and this is the finest rendition ever recorded, and as much as I love Sabine Develhe. .. my next favorite, she can't hold a candle next to this performance
Aujourd'hui je pense qu'elle a perdu pourtant pour l'avoir entendu en concert je vous garantis que la version enregistrée est loin des émotions que Nathalie suscite sur l'auditoire en direct. Frissons et plus garanti.
Meredith Anne this aria is why "Lakme" is hardly ever performed. In the opera is comes at the end of the 2nd act. As a recital piece it's easier to pull off. However, Dessay in her prime pulled the role off with ease.
Où va la jeune Hindoue (Lakmé), Popoli di Tessaglia by Mozart, Martern aller Arten (Die Entführung aus dem Serail), Der Hölle Rache (Die Zauberflöte), Il Dolce Suono (Lucia di Lammermoor), In Questa Reggia (Turandot) are some very challenging arias for a soprano to sing properly.
@@panaceiasuberes6464 Very nice indeed, the singing that is. But her French is terrible though, a complete turnoff, sorry. Like in de Duo des fleurs sung by Garancha and Netrebko. Love these ladies, but their French is just horrible. I know I should transend this problem that must hit a lot of Italians and Germans when hearing foreign opera singers sing in their language, but I can't unhear it.
@@sergevandenplas8035 she is french, I am french and she perfectly pronounces MY LANGUAGE. She doesn't roll the "r" because she is modern and you have not to roll the "r" in modern french. You do it in French Baroque song but in baroque period, the french is differently pronounced. You can understand all what she is singing which is very rare !
Even though I enjoy Dessay and find this rendition incredibly appropriate and emotive, I also love Callas, Sutherland and Lily Pons (the most agile of all imo). The dark voice Callas had somehow adds a different layer to this aria, which is always associated with a lighter, brighter, "silvery" voice. Even with all the weigh, darkness and "viscosity" of her timbre she manages to do all the passages with extreme agility and grace. She lightens her voice incredibly easy too when she wants. She had crazy control. I don't think we should choose just one favorite rendition, but explore all the possible nuances and find the miracles (and the eventual tragedies! Lol).
1:26 wow a high F right off the bat! and a beautiful high G sharp above high C at 5:38! and every high E is fabulous! Her vibrato is so fast, her runs are so accurate and amazing, her tone is incredibly gorgeous and full of emotion- Natalie Dessay is absolutely incredible :)
+DoctorWhoBAMF Ah, I think you're right! I was listening to this with my score and cadenza options and I thought it was one of the ones I was looking at. Man though, I think this is becoming one of my favorite recordings of her.
It's funny reading you girls. Don't get me wrong I'm not laughing at you; I wish I were as educated as you in the opera field. I don't know if it's a high C, a F# or what but it's AMAZING
She used to be so incredible!! This is perfect... Her singing here is so natural, like her sensitivity and musical expression, like her attitude... she's so french in the best way! But I must say, why did she lose some of her qualities in singing? Anyway, now I know I must hear her first recordings!

Oltretutto io con la Dessay ci ho pure suonato, quando ancora poteva disporre dei suoi mezzi vocali al massimo o quasi. Era un autentico mostro, in grado di fare cose spettacolari, e fece letteralmente venir giù il teatro, pubblico in delirio come molto raramente è capitato. Ovviamente non c'era nessunissimo microfono, e non ebbe il minimo problema a farsi sentire nelle arie del repertorio francese (Ophelia, Tytania, etc.) in un teatro di 2000 posti. Chiaro che se si cerca la pura potenza vocale, l'emissione torrenziale, bisogna rivolgersi altrove, la Dessay non è mai stata la Dimitrova. Ha (aveva) caratteristiche vocali radicalmente diverse (come del tutto diverso da quello drammatico era il suo repertorio), ma non meno straordinarie. Negarlo è veramente insensato.

Astonishing. The vibratos are sooo full and consistent and HOLY SHIT what was that note at 5:38? Haha. I love Sabine Deviellhe's famous version, but this is even better.
If it isn't sung this well (which one soprano in a million can do,) it would be painful rather than gorgeous. I think I wouldn't want to hear it unless Dessay were Lakmé -- and alas, she is not singing this rep anymore. :( (okay, slight exaggeration. I know there are good coloratura sopranos out there -- but none quite like Natalie at her best!)
Simply Extraordinary. ❤ She was literally born to sing this, extremely easeful performance of an incredibly challenging scene. There is so much to love in Dessay, but the way she breezes thru some of the most challenging roles in the repertoire is probably my favorite thing.
Natalie aquí cantando antes de su operación a las cuerdas vocales, en la mejor epoca de su voz... soprano ligera de gran extension, bellísimo timbre, esta aria es sumamente difícil, pero la canta sin mayor dificultad.
Léo Delibes is surely looking down saying to himself - 'Dessay's voice matches so exactly my music that I could have written it just for her, I am so happy to hear it sung just as I always imagined it to be sung , merci beacoup Natalie'.
One thing I love about her is she performs. She delivers an unearthly performance and throws herself into the role. Like, she isn’t just singing but she is there inside the character.
She was, in terms of artistry and musicianship, head and shoulders above. And, having a totally different instrument, she could rival her in terms of pure vocal athleticism wich was Sutherland's especialty.
@@fan2jnrc LIsten to this and tell me who did it better. You're right, she doesn't rival Sutherland because no one ever interpreted this aria in a far superior way than Sutherland. Her coloratura and ornamentation was exquisite, but Dessay did interpret excellently ruclips.net/video/VvNXbWo1hVc/видео.html
Angel Antonio Burgos '' Qué voz, que técnica ...'' capisco il tuo gusto molto raffinato nella materia ... ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ! viva il pop moderno ! ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah !
Dame Joan's rendering of the aria rejoices in the virtuosity it calls for. Her performance is delicately - and delectably - imbued with a sense of fun. Mlle Dessay is deadly serious and the effect is completely different. It is also tremendous.
I am so in love with Dessay's Bell Song but it also makes me feel like 'why doesn't this happen when I open my mouth?' 8/
🤣
It does happen but it sounds like this ruclips.net/video/pJbDhOPptyY/видео.html the BEST version, better than Natalie Dessay 100x
Takes years of training.
I feel just the same!
@@ოChiamariaო that is true. It depends on the voice and it does take long time to perfect it.
inhuman perfection. there is not a single mistake or off moment, in not the tiniest detail. which is something most singers struggle to achieve in much easier songs.
but natalie dessay achieves this in the most murderous coluratura piece possible.
and to me this performance here is the absolute best of this song ever recorded. the voice is ideal, the technique is rock solid, the skill immense. and i am always pleased to hear a true and proper trill. which is kind of rare nowadays.

Yes

In my opinion, this is the best rendition of this aria of all time.

Lohengrin O I knew you'd come around 😘 Arnold
So Sumi Jo?
She is the greatest soprano with incomparable controlling power to her voice & vocals.
Magnifique voix. Quelle chance.d'avoir un tel don
Her voice is unearthly, like it breaks sound barriers. The legato combined with the coloratura is unmatched.
What Dessay achieved in this aria is greater than entire career of many so called coloratura sopranos...
Absolutely beautiful, strong and moving rendition. I completely surrendered.
The timbre in her lower register just amazing.
It's very difficult for a coloratura soprano to stay firmly and stable singing in lower registers, but Dessay does it perfectly!!!
She is the voice of all universe, everything must be silent
Voice is not its own instrument. The resonance of the venue itself is what is being played :) This is a masterpiece.
What a stellar, otherwordly performance!

Elle a une voix tellement claire... C'est vraiment sublime. Quel dommage qu'elle mette fin à sa carrière
Une vraie délice ❤ Bravooooooo
Is it possible to sing this perfect? Divined!
What a beautiful voice. Natalie D’essay a une voie d’une pureté incroyable. Un talent jamais vue. Une diction qui est très bien faite.
What a final E natural...effortless....
Simply Extraordinary. ❤ She was literally born to sing this, extremely easeful performance of an incredibly challenging scene. There is so much to love in Dessay, but the way she breezes thru some of the most challenging roles in the repertoire is probably my favorite thing.
it's because of many years hard working and singing.
Колоратурнейшее из всех колоратурных сопрано!!!
It is the best soprano voice that I ever heared !!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS is Lakme. When you hear (and see) this, you understand why with Sutherland it doesn't work.
Haha, totally agree😂
The second time I hear perfect French in this particular aria. Perfect!
Hehe, maybe her nationality helps a bit...
Well for one thing she is French
Natalie aquí cantando antes de su operación a las cuerdas vocales, en la mejor epoca de su voz... soprano ligera de gran extension, bellísimo timbre, esta aria es sumamente difícil, pero la canta sin mayor dificultad.
Hallucinante performance dont je me lasse pas, un chant et une voix céleste!
She looks like a mermaid. Brava!
Это дано Богом!!! Научить такому невозможно!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Léo Delibes is surely looking down saying to himself - 'Dessay's voice matches so exactly my music that I could have written it just for her, I am so happy to hear it sung just as I always imagined it to be sung , merci beacoup Natalie'.
One thing I love about her is she performs. She delivers an unearthly performance and throws herself into the role. Like, she isn’t just singing but she is there inside the character.
Crisp, agile, clear and bright. The way it should be 👌🏻
this is unreal! total perfection, noone else has ever sung this aria like this
Watch Selvia Voinea how effortlessly she sang the song. It's a very old video. She done it first perfectly.
Divine like Lilly Pons, Mado Robin, Mattiwilda Dobbs and Silvia Voinea singing this awesome classic.
And Mady Mesplé !
Éblouissante!!!
So much power,so much refinement-incroiable merci!!
One of the best interpretations of this aria I've ever heard. She rivals Sutherland! Superb.

@@franzbi8465 i love her too .....
She was, in terms of artistry and musicianship, head and shoulders above. And, having a totally different instrument, she could rival her in terms of pure vocal athleticism wich was Sutherland's especialty.
Oh please. She doesn't rival Sutherland. Sutherland doesn't exist near this.
@@fan2jnrc LIsten to this and tell me who did it better. You're right, she doesn't rival Sutherland because no one ever interpreted this aria in a far superior way than Sutherland. Her coloratura and ornamentation was exquisite, but Dessay did interpret excellently

To say this is wonderful would be an understatement.
Qué voz, que técnica... Què forma de camtar. Fantàstica!!!!!!!!!
Angel Antonio Burgos
'' Qué voz, que técnica ...''
capisco il tuo gusto molto raffinato nella materia ...
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah !
viva il pop moderno !
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah !
This sounds incredibly beautiful & difficult.
Это просто феноменально! Ничего подобного не слышал!
Dame Joan's rendering of the aria rejoices in the virtuosity it calls for. Her performance is delicately - and delectably - imbued with a sense of fun. Mlle Dessay is deadly serious and the effect is completely different. It is also tremendous.
Completely breathtaking. I wish I could sing like that. Thank you God.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, POWER ,GREAT FLEXABILITY. BRAVA,BRAVISIMI
