    I was listening her when I decided to be an opera singer. I was not even able to breath properly but she was touching my heart... Now I'm a graduated opera actress, even won a competition and trying to build a career to myself and she can still touch my heart and make me amazed by her voice.

      It's very common for other Baroque singers, too... I see it often with Philippe Jarrousky and other countertenors, so I think it may have to do with intonation (as most period ensembles play about a step lower than modern pitch) but also as you said maintaining a good vibrato in a drier space

    I fell in love with this aria 45 years ago - but even more now with this wonderful interpretation. Dessay's control and her restrained and nuanced trills and turns are extraordinary. Haim and the orchestra support her with balance. The overall sense of love of the music, without concern for bravura, makes this the best I've heard.

    Have you listened to her singing Morgana in Handel's Alcina? This was one of my first encounters with Ms Dessay and that initial impression has never left me; not only her vocal mastery but her natural flair and characterful ways with this role are amazing. Listen to her singing 'Tornami a vagheggiar'; there are two versions available on here at the moment - the live version is enchanting!

    @Sbordomus Well, in terms of singing, she's not my absolute favourite, but she is my favourite VOICE...I love her timbre. About her "air swimming"...this is a unique thing she does only when recording...she says it's because she is normally busy acting onstage (and she does get busy!) so she "compensates for the drama" when recording and when she thinks no one's watching...but we are, of course! :) In concert, she's motionless - very few gestures and very elegant. :)

    Though one can hear this is the end of her career.. I personally think the variations are great (quite an achievement, as they are rather daring). With them she gets you rather quickly through this very long aria. With other singers, it sounds like 15 minutes, here it's over as fast as if it were 4.

Can another Dessay fan out there recommend some of her other treasures (other than the ‘Bell’ song) to me? Thank you!

    I discovered Natalie Dessay on youtube and I became a huge fan since then. I really recommend 'Nuit d'Etoiles' from Debussy, or "Les oiseaux dans la charmilles" that Natalie sings perfectly. The documentary (with english Subs) about her vocal cords operations if quite moving and let us enter in her life, which is I think very intimate and touching. As many comments say, her voice is pure, such a pleasure to listen to. I am so happy I found tickets for her recital in Bordeaux in May 2019, can't wait to witness the performance of my favorite artist !!!

    Actually, thats how Dessay behaves when NOT on show. When she is recording or rehearsing, she always gesticulates, and very heavily so. When she was asked about it she stated that because of her immense love for acting and because she focuses much more on it rather than music, she has to do these gestures because it makes it easier for her to better feel the music and externalize it. This is how she is used to do it. One can only imagine how hard it is for her to sing in public and restrain it.

    @SsteinwayS The singing is nice, but the sound of the violins is just ugly.

    "Yağmur çiseliyor,
    beyaz ve çıplak mürted ayaklarının
    ıslak ve karanlık toprağın üstünde koşması gibi.
    Yağmur çiseliyor,
    Serezin esnaf çarşısında,
    bir bakırcı dükkânının karşısında
    Bedreddinim bir ağaca asılı.
    Yağmur çiseliyor.
    Gecenin geç ve yıldızsız bir saatidir.
    Ve yağmurda ıslanan
    yapraksız bir dalda sallanan şeyhimin
    çırılçıplak etidir."
