Brava, Bravissima Joyce DiDonato. This is a song cycle with sumptious music needing a voice with flexible articulation and complete vocal control. Not only this, but a singer who has the feeling for interpetation of text paralled with musical writing. Feeling, sensitivity, fineline vocal preparation are all qualities which I find in Joyce DiDonato which make her rendition of this song cycle the best that I have heard. Also the conductor and the orchetra are to be generously applauded. I only wish that before starting they had asked the audience to hold all applause until the end of the performance. Bravo Berlioz. I love Papano, the excellent Maestro

She is so good at dynamic contrast, and drawing us into the music. Plus the voice is luminous. The young orchestra is the perfect accompaniment.
Beautiful, fantastic performance ❤❤❤
The best rendition ever!!
