Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful renditions of this aria I have heard in a long time! Stunning breath control, perfect intention and diction. I am French and can actually understand every phrase, which is not the case with so many other performers, including the famous ones! Thank you so much for this moment of dark delight... you truly sound GRAND!
Moi Je ne suis pas français mais je le comprends et j´aime entendre chaque mot quand quelqu´un chante J´ai toujours pensé que le français de Caballé était si clair parce qu´Elle est de Catalogne...mais Jessye Norman est américaine et Elle prononce le français admirablement Dans son cas c´est Mr Pierre Bernac qui fit le miracle Bref, j´adore l´opéra français et Je trouve qu´on n´a pas encore découvert Mr Jules Massenet pour nommer un bien connu Et bien sûr Mr Reynal do Hahn (de Proust disent les mauvaises langues)
Your voice.. My god your voice.. I cried from your first note, and couldn't stop. Your voice is so hauntingly beautiful and mirrors this pained sorrow the whole way through. If I could sing like you, I'd never shut up. You are phenomenal ❤️
Quel bonheur d'entendre une telle expressivité dans ce chant. Le vibrato de Raehann Bryce-Davis est parfaitement adapté à la souffrance exprimée. Et quelle voix magnifique. Bravo et merci…
A truly memorable interpretation. The voice is just right for this haunting aria and the understanding of the words is spot on. A slight memory lapse in the first section notwithstanding, this is a superb piece of music-making. Excellent french diction too, and a fine understanding of the words. The caesura btw ‘Non’ and ‘tu ne peux guérir’ is exquisitely placed. That’s the kind of nicety that informs a well-judged balance between legato and verbal emphasis. This is a favourite aria of mine, and Bryce-Davis takes an honoured place with renditions by Rita Gorr (perfect), Régine Crespin (a tad marmoreal but vocally sublime) and Montserrat Caballé (verbal distortions and wild rubato notwithstanding: who could resist the floated high notes on ‘fidèle’ and ‘l’onde’ ?). Brava Raehann Bryce-Davis!!
Dear Ms. Bryce-Davis, Please remember that I'm praising you when I say you know how to make me cry. God blessed you with a talent I can only dream of. Though I'd love to portray Sarastro in Mozart's Die Zauberflote, I can't sing. Many tell me that I should be a radio announcer. So know that if I'm ever privileged enough to talk with you, I'll want to listen silently and hear you sing again. To become wise, I need to let others talk.
@@raehannbryce Thank you, my talented friend. I feel privileged because you took the time to answer my post with more than a heart. Opera is my favorite kind of entertainment. So I love to watch it, listen to it, study its history, and share the art form with anyone who'll watch or listen to it. You belong to a tiny group of artists who delight your admirers with wonderful singing and fine acting. Some say I'm hoity-toity because I'm anti-egalitarian. But if they'd watch with open minds and listen objectively, they'd know some things are objectively superior to others. I don't know whether my baritone speaking voice is beautiful. that's for others to decide. But if it is beautiful, it's a gift from above. I didn't ask for it. You've been blessed with a major talent I'll always treasure. I nearly typed "covet." But I need to be content with what God gave it to me to please him. So there's no reason for me to wish for what I know I can't have. Keep up your fine work, and I'll pray that someday I'll be in the front row when you perform at the MET.
O ma lyre immortelle, Qui dans les tristes jours A tous mes maux fidèle Les consolait toujours! En vain ton doux murmure Veut m'aider à souffrir, Non, tu ne peux guérir Ma dernière blessure; Ma blessure est au coeur Seul le trépas peut finir ma douleur. Adieu, flambeau du monde, Descends au sein des flots, Moi, je descends sous l'onde, Dans l'Eternel repos. Le jour qui doit éclore, Phaon, luira pour toi, Mais, sans penser à moi, Tu reverras l'aurore. Ouvre-toi gouffre amer Je vais dormir pour toujours dans la mer.
O my immortal lyre, Who in the sad days To all my faithful evils Always consoled them! In vain your sweet whisper Wants to help me to suffer, No, you can not heal My last injury; My wound is in my heart Only death can end my pain. Farewell, torch of the world, Go down in the waves, Me, I go down under the wave, In the eternal rest. The day that must hatch, Phaon, will shine for you, But, without thinking of me, You will see the dawn again. Open up bitter chasm I will sleep forever in the sea.
Not only a beautiful voice, but a great artist who lives every emotion. Rare quality! (But please; no "mouth vibrato", creating a false vibrato with the lips, it distorts the naturel vibrato of the voice.)
le chant est pur et bon. Impression de malaise cependant. Il s'agit ici de la finale d'un opéra. Pas d'un air à écouter dans un salon avec un accompagnement au piano. Ce n'est pas une chanteuse que l'on a envie d'entendre mais un personnage, Sapho en l'occurrence, la poétesse désespérée qui est sur le point de se suicider. On ne l'entend pas, ici. L'expressivité de la chanteuse est molle, parfois même ridicule. Le piano fait un accompagnement grêle alors qu'ici l'orchestration de Gounod accompagne merveilleusement ce lamento ultime. L'occasion de regretter que cet opéra soit si rarement monté....
Trully memorable rendition! She deserves an opening night at the Met with this Opera!
It was an incredible feeling. you made me cry. Everything about it was so fascinating. You are perfect.🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

Your voice.. My god your voice.. I cried from your first note, and couldn't stop. Your voice is so hauntingly beautiful and mirrors this pained sorrow the whole way through.

O my immortal lyre,
Who in the sad days
To all my faithful evils
Always consoled them!
In vain your sweet whisper
Wants to help me to suffer,
No, you can not heal
My last injury;
My wound is in my heart
Only death can end my pain.
Farewell, torch of the world,
Go down in the waves,
Me, I go down under the wave,
In the eternal rest.
The day that must hatch,
Phaon, will shine for you,
But, without thinking of me,
You will see the dawn again.
Open up bitter chasm
I will sleep forever in the sea.

Que vous êtes ridicule, monsieur le critique
N'oubliez pas qu'il s'agit d'un CONCOURS ! Expressivité molle voire ridicule????? Où avez vous entendu ça???????
