Lea Desandre & Véronique Gens sing Philidor: Les Amazones duet

Mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre is joined by soprano Véronique Gens in three scenes from Les Amazones by 18th-century composer André Danican Philidor, with the ensemble Jupiter and Thomas Dunford: an opening instrumental march is followed by one recitative from each character, Thalestris and Hippolyte, before closing in a victorious duet. Discover this and more on Lea’s debut album, Amazone: w.lnk.to/aldLY
“When I was a child, my heroines flew high above the rooftops, raced through green meadows, singing as they went, dreamt beneath starry skies, and galloped away on horseback with a freedom and courage that still fascinate me today. Amazone is a hymn to the women who have guided me and continually amazed me with their kindness, their loyalty, the magic of their artistry and the strength of their actions.” - Lea Desandre

Two great sopranos, two great artists enjoying themselves as they bring us joy.

[@graziacavasino8884]

Lea Desandre is NOT a soprano.

[@AndrewLumsden]

@Grazia Cavasino Correct, a Mezzo, but she can hit the high notes when she has to.

[@graziacavasino8884]

@@AndrewLumsden being a mezzo does not equal to being unable to hit high notes. It is a very common and unfounded prejudice that only a soprano can.

[@AndrewLumsden]

@Grazia Cavasino Both my parents were professional singers, who sang all over the world. I am very well aware of vocal ranges and capabilities. Thank you so much for your evidently superior knowledge.

[@bradycall1889]

Lea Desandre is a Mezzo with just a light and bright timbre.

[@dominiquemuskad768]

Le petit coup d'œil complice entre les deux cantatrices à la fin nous montre qu'elles ont autant de plaisir à chanter que nous à les écouter .

[@philippeteyssedre7895]

Duo des plus essentiellements beaux
..Qui ferait craindre ces redoutables amazones
Non pas nos deux voix quasi divines .

J aime tellement entendre Léa Desandre

[@dominiquedegeilh2019]

Avec un chant si fougueux de telles Amazones, je serais, à l'inverse de Thésée, tenté de ne pas combattre et me laisser vaincre !

[@mauriziocanale1669]

LEA TI AMO

[@melinamendoza3249]

[@TheMuston]

Comme toujours, magnifique présence scénique (outre la voix) de Léa Desandre, qui rend quelque peu terne celle de son ancienne professeur V. Gens.

[@Alix777.]

Léa Desandre a de bons agents, trustée par les gens qu'il faut, on se demande bien comment. Quant à Gens, il serait temps de prendre sa retraite

[@TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Wut?

[@pmonteil]

Il semble que l'on n'est nulle part à l'abri de ce genre de commentaire aigre, mesquin et, bien sûr, anonyme.

[@gerardlomain4939]

Et vous , qu'êtes vous capable de faire , votre commentaire sent le (ou la ) raté (e) à plein nez !

[@merus1473]

Ta yeule elles chantent bien

[@oldgundog4705]

And the comment writer probably can't even make a good cup of coffee.

[@carolynclark1724]

Beautiful!
