Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mad Scene triumph
My wife and I saw Ms.Dessay perform Lucia at the Paris Opera in a non-traditional production.

My favorite cuts were the first and last...Violetta's "sempre libra", an ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Splendid coloratura work
As I understand it, Natalie Dessay recently underwent surgery for nodes on her vocal chords.

I even compared how she sounded here to some of her earlier recordings; for the most part, I don't really hear much of a difference (but my ears are quite untutored).

She reigns as one of the premier coloratura sopranos of the current era. ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Natalie Dessay
I bought this recording to hear the amazing coloratura of Natalie Dessay specifically displayed in stunning bel canto vocal arias from Italian opera.
