Jessy Norman est ici chez elle à Paris. Elle aimait beaucoup la musique française qu'elle interprétait avec une diction parfaite et elle restera toujours dans le cœur des français ❤❤❤
Not only a sublime voice , but an intelligent and technically flawless interpretation. No one comes close. Norman was a vocal phenomenon hard to replace. Her mature musicianship always adds more colour to her interpretation.
@@remigioidavidshe's so musical. I listen to mezzos after her singing this and it's like they have no command of their own interpretation, as if they're afraid the conductor may not agree with their instincts to do any ritardandi, anything. It's rushed through.
Единственная в своем роде певица, Великий Мастер и Музыкант, обладающий поистине уникальным инструментом - голосом необачайной силы, красоты и чувственности. Джесси, ты жива навеки!
OHHHHHHHH, MY DEAR , YES , YES , VERY YES.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- FASCINATING DIVINE MUSIC and VERY STUNNING , DIVINE GREAT -- JESSYE NORMAN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tout y est, dans cette interprétation: somptuosité du timbre, insolent contrôle du souffle, splendeur du phrasé, incarnation du personnage, articulation du texte et... un orchestre et un chef aux petits oignons. Berlioz en aurait sans doute oublié son Harriet pour se jeter aux pied de Jessye.
Jessy Norman chanta Dalila comme aucune autre . Cette voix chaleureuse , profonde , d'une qualité supérieure , était faite pour ce rôle, peu chanté sur les scènes internationales. Elle fut une artiste exceptionnelle qui nous manque déjà. Et la Marianne de la Marseillaise en 1989, pour nous , Francais .
I was privileged to sing D. Of F. in the Westminster Symphonic Choir back in the mid 70's with a younger Jessye Norman.& James Levine conducting. The aria brought ovations and I have followed her career for my entire life. Rest in peace dear Jessye. 🌹
@@aureliensimonot4404 le rythme de ce passage est bien moins soutenu dans l’enregistrement de Callas avec Prêtre (et Callas, malgré son génie interprétatif, ne peut masquer la triste usure de ses moyens)
Your work here on earth is completed; God has spoken to you, "Well Done" thy good and faithful servant, come higher. Rest in Paradise Ms. Jessye Norman.
This must be how Berlioz heard this aria in his mind when writing it. No other singer captures the grandeur and the depth of meaning that Norman brings here.
This performance by Jesse Norman shows her magnificent talent as a singer with complete control of vocal line and interpretation. Brava Jesse Norman, now departed.
There are some moments of music making we are privileged to watch. This is one of them. So no more criticisms, this is live performance and so much more exciting than a disc. Sit back and enjoy.
@@Bzcenci812 I agree. Unfortunately if you scroll down to the bottom of the comments page you will find criticisms. That is why I left that comment 5 years ago. I think that some people are not tolerant of live music performances any more , all they want are recordings that are edited sadly.
I still can't believe that she is gone. It just boggles the mind. I have been able to hear and meet some of the great singers/conductors, but the one time she was in my city performing I was on the other side of the planet...literally. She is no longer here, but that voice will live on forever!
I saw Jessye Norman sing Marguerite in London back in 1989, and this clip brings so much joy flooding back. A truly incomparable voice and artist. Jessye, you are missed ❤
Exquisite. She was just exquisite. No other word can describe her more beautifully. Rest in Peace in the arms of your Lord. You will be forever admired and cherished.
I was privileged to perform this work with the Westminster symphonic choir back in the 70's with Boulez & the then- newly up & coming in the US Jessye Norman. She sounded just like this,,,her voice her presence made me forget where I was in the music, overwhelmed Alice Tully Hall
Oh my word what sheer indulgence to be able to listen to an angel. It is glorious. Oh dear Jessye RIP. Let your beautiful voice fly over the heavens for eternity. ❤❤❤❤❤
@@zinam5795 :: You're partially right ! But youth doesn't have much to do w / it, at least not here. Joyce didonato does have a different voice-type ... but it ain't on the same magnificent & grand-scale as Norman ! AND that is, for better or worse, what opera singing has always been. _The Baroque Singers were the End-All & Be-All of this 400 + years' Vocal-Gift from Italy to the World._ _Mussolini's embarrassment to Italy can almost be forgiven._
I will always love her, she is the reason I really get into opera. I am so proud of this beautiful lady. I don't sing I do a lot of voicing on the harp from my big sister Mrs. Norman.
Yes Callas' and Norman's voices were totally different ; but both outstanding and unique in their prime... and they were two great artists, actresses and performers...
@@David11643 So do you foresee a Tribute to our beloved Jessey like this multi continent spanning one soon? Wondrous she truly was but there is only One Callas.
divine interprétation,que de frissons et d'émotions...chef S Ozawa magnifique d 'écoute et d osmose avec J Norman(quelle technique et ligne vocale) la musique de Berlioz est tellement belle
Ms. Norman and her wondrous voice was a gift to us. She had such command of her beautiful, powerful voice she would transport you--to make you FEEL the story she was conveying. As we suffer through this global pandemic we shelter in place and we pray for Mercy and Healing. We are thankful for Ms Norman's gift of song to transport our spirits and comfort us in these trying times. We thank the Heavenly Father for having placed her amongst us, a Grand Diva. Brava, Brava.
Que du bonheur , que c’est beau , tellement de rêves, de calme, beaucoup de couleurs , de charme , beaucoup d’élégance musicale de légèreté...devinez ... j’ai adoré merci pour ce moment plein de délices.
Fantastic singing and breath control. Simply beautiful especially the Obo. Supportive Orchestra. And oh the Conductor and the Soloist!! Music from Heaven! A Erasmus.
One of the most beatiful arias ever written, for sure. I cannot help but get goosebumps whenever I listen to it. And the pizzicato heartbeats... And Jessye... well, pretty much when she opens her mouth we become speechless. :)
Ruhe in Frieden, Du warst eine großartige Sängerin, Jessye Norman. Du hast an Christus geglaubt. Er empfange Dich in Gnade. Danke für alle Deine Auftritte mit denen Du viel Freude bereitet hast.
VERY FASCINATING , HEAVENLY , PARADISAL , DIVINE MUSIC by BRILLIANT -- HECTOR BERLIOZ and FASCINATING , DIVINE GREAT OPERA STAR -- JESSYE NORMAN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Superbe ! Merci inoubliable Jessye ! Cela m'émeut d'autant plus que j'ai gagné le Concours Léopold BELLAN à Paris en chantant cet air là en 2002... Le temps passe si vite.
Maybe they are listening with their eyes & closed minds as opposed to their ears and their hearts. The majesty of Ms. Norman’s glorious voice will never be diminished by mere haters. Her artistry was far above and beyond that!
Interesting point. We can (safely?) assume that Callas did not have nearly as many recordings as Norman, because of the expense of recordings at the early stage of records. Not to mention sound-quality of Callas recordings vs. today's contemporaries. Also, i'm kinda digging her plump look here. Adds to her rapturous empowerment. Hee hee.@@jamesnickoloff6692
I remember going with my late wife to see her in London. Each concert was a wonderful experience. She always gave of her best and those performances are deeply anchored inside me. Thank you dear Jessye.
One's heart and whole entire being is filled with every intense emotion when it comes to an opera character. Love is 100x amplified, hate, jealosy, every emotion. She exemplified that. Every time. Every time was the most, the max.
La qualité du Français est proprement stupéfiante! nul ne pourrait dire que ce n'est pas sa langue maternelle! The quality of French is unbelievable, nobody could say she ie not a native French speaker!
my singing teacher recommended Jessye Norman to me when I started with singing lessons myself in summer 1985 since then I LOVE her "4 last Songs" by Richard Strauss DEAREST JESSYE YOUR VOICE WILL ALWAYS BE MY SOULS SWEETEST DELIGHT 😍
Jessy Norman est ici chez elle à Paris. Elle aimait beaucoup la musique française qu'elle interprétait avec une diction parfaite et elle restera toujours dans le cœur des français ❤❤❤
Jessy Norman, singing the « Four Last Songs » of Richard Strauss is incomparable. Beyond sublime……God rest her beautiful soul.
My favourite version!
Yess! True! My absolute favourite Version of 4 letzte Lieder!
Jessye told us goodbye 9/30/2019. She left her amazing voice that goes beyond. Thank you.
To play an ad halfway into her first line is a sin, RUclips
A voice as BIG as the Universe and as LOVELY as the first rose in early Spring! I love her!
O MY GOD JESSYE NORMAN IN HER PRIME-MAGNIFICENT SPLENDOR❤❤❤
Beautifully stated, and so true.
Beautiful and fitting inscription.

She will be always a Rolls Royce of a Voice.
Ozawa is having a great time.
(And what a performance!!!)
神様が人間を神のように創造されたのに、私達はその本然の力を発揮できることは稀ですが、ジェシーノーマンの声を聴けば、一人の人間の中に宇宙が存在しうることがわかります。このような声、このような技術、このような心情、このような霊性…意味もわからないのに涙が出ます。歌は歌詞を超え、世界語として心に響く。これこそ芸術。
Единственная в своем роде певица, Великий Мастер и Музыкант, обладающий поистине уникальным инструментом - голосом необачайной силы, красоты и чувственности.
Джесси, ты жива навеки!
We will never NEVER forget you! RIP dearest diva, dearest of all sopranos, Jessye Norman!

Yes, brava,bravissima Jessye. Your name is so beautiful too. Have a pleasant weekend and year!!
Her breath control is beyond amazing
C'était la 1ere fois que je l'entendais et cela m'a marqué à jamais
I heard her a number of times with Ozawa, and they seemed to have an exceptional rapport.
Madame Norman était d'un talent immense....merci pour tout ce qu'elle nous a donné..

@@Azilis1976 Sicher, aber das muss man an einer anderen Stelle hören. (Leider ist es auch nicht auf CD erschienen)
@@herbertloscher514 Désolée je ne comprend pas votre langue !
Berlioz ,Jessie Norman ,et Osawa ,ce soir là ....de la magie pure .❤️🇨🇵
No one could sing this like Jessye Norman. I remember the first time I heard this at a Met Gala. My jaw dropped. I was stunned.
I was privileged to sing D. Of F. in the Westminster Symphonic Choir back in the mid 70's with a younger Jessye Norman.& James Levine conducting. The aria brought ovations and I have followed her career for my entire life. Rest in peace dear Jessye. 🌹
Do you have the date_ It would be great the Met to release that version, hopefully with better sound quality
Oh please. Lol.
That acceleration at 6:15 is just incredible... You can really feel the beating of her heart getting faster with the music ! It's magical
That's it, mon cœur bat et se presse,,, what a beautiful moment 💕
Raphael Pisano :: It was very observant of you to mention "the acceleration". It's my favorite part & you described her delivery perfectly !
Même chose avec Callas...

Jessie outstanding deep voice of richest tone color no one can compare❤❤❤Will never be forgotten
The world greatest Opera singer. We will forever miss Ms Jessye Norman "Big Voice/Big ❤️" May God embrace her family.

The first time I watched this was in 2015. Watching again after her passing is truly heartbreaking....her voice lives on...R.I.P. I miss her..😢😢😢😢😢
Always stunning with deep emotional power. ❤

The lioness of the Opera finally rests in peace...but she always will be missed !!!
Astonishing-what a voice- what a loss. RIP
Esplendorosa interpretação de uma grande diva do Belo Canto!
O Céu está cheio de Estrelas!
A voice that is in itself a FORCE of NATURE! That is the kind of singing I do NOT mind listening to all day long!
Seiji and Jessye they match for ever.
He is SO attuned to her, especially at 6:18 to 6:43.
From 6:16 to 7:45 the shivers started in my scalp and ran to my knees ! Simply sublime !
This is my favorite version of this aria.
Brava Miss Jessye Norman!
I love Jessye, but for me the queen of this aria is Joyce di Donato
Joyce di Donato is different type & much younger... J.N 's concert role here----BRILLIANT! BRAVO!
@@zinam5795 ::
You're partially right !

Worthy of a tribute to Callas.
Worthy of a tribute, yes, but totally outsinging Callas.

Meu Deus. Diva, deusa. uma voz potente, belíssima. uma apresentação magistral.
Adoro a voz de Jessye Norman, uma das mais belas vozes do mundo. Uma artista de verdade.
31 people did not like this beautiful piece sung by Madame Norman 👑 That's called sadness my friends. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

Dislikes ? Pure ENVY !!!
Just Wow I've been binge watching Jessey's videos I remember some.of them from PBS She's truly Phenomenal Rest with Love and Bravo to you💜💜
Wow, "Splendidly Georgeous"
Jesse Norman: a true gift from God:
omg her voice is HUGE! Love it!
Singing doesn't get better than this. I doubt there is any recording of this aria surpassing Jessye here.
Except perhaps for that of Maria Callas, in whose honor Jessye Norman is singing.
Interesting point. We can (safely?) assume that Callas did not have nearly as many recordings as Norman, because of the expense of recordings at the early stage of records. Not to mention sound-quality of Callas recordings vs. today's contemporaries. Also, i'm kinda digging her plump look here. Adds to her rapturous empowerment. Hee hee.@@jamesnickoloff6692
The recording " Callas à Paris " came-alas-too late in her career,,,
If you love the aria, you must.hear it sung by both Norman and Regine Crespin. Great Singers both but with much better voices than. La Divina.
@@DrOpera65 Yes, Regine is the only other soprano in the same class.

Dá uma tristeza profunda saber que está estrela agora brilha em constelação eterna.
Smorzature prodigiose su una voce di enorme caratura...io non posso che adorare tale maestria..e la direzione d'orchestra?un'incanto!
Quelle voix merveilleuse !!!! Bravo et merci !!
Favolosa voce e splendida direzione d'orchestra. Indimenticabile
Glorious performance and it suits her beautifully.
Increíble Mujer una verdadera Diva !!! Además de Bella muy Talentosa
Dès les premières notes, on sait. On sait que c'est grand et beau.
Braba, spectacular! I remember the program, I became in love with the opera after hearing Jesse sing Berlioz in this presentation.
This morning I woke to your voice in Aida so many years ago. Thank you for all you have given us.
The bad quality of the recording doesn't make justice to this exquisite voice. Love you Jessye.
I tried to rip it off of RUclips to do some EQing in my studio, but RUclips is blocking it!
Malgré les années, l'émotion est toujours intacte ! Sublime !!!
Sad to hear this on the day when we have lost another great singer
Majestuosa Jessie Norman.
