Natalie Dessay - Regnava nel silenzio... Quando rapito in estasi - MET 2011 Première

Regnava nel silenzio... Quando rapito in estasi
Natalie Dessay sings Lucia once more :)
She was in great shape for the première, no problems switching from high to medium to low register, and a clear voice. The first notes of the Regnava ain't perfect, but it all comes along quickly afterwards :)

@thomastmwc
says someone who listens to Gruberova's singing :)

@luvxl Don't get me wrong, I did love Dessay, but no longer do I

[@thomastmwc]

@thomastmwc By scream I don't mean her singing is screaming. I mean, oftentimes, in order to add dramatic effects, she screams, doesn't she? Well, to me, that hurts.

thomastmwc, You are making a career out of not liking Natalie Dessay anymore.

[@machovoce6826]

Quite right. She's had node surgery since this engagement.

Macho Voce Not true :)

[@thomastmwc]

@luvxl if your reply is meant to be sarcastic, it fails, sorry. Let's compare their ages. Of course everyone starts to lose some high notes when they get to 60 or something, which might be Gruby's case (but c'mon, she doesn't lose 'em till recent years, how old is she now!? SERIOUSLY!?), but more importantly, Gruby's voice is still lucid, instantly recognizable, or even "pristine". As for Dessay, her speaking voice is ruined, as well as her singing voice. She screams too much.

[@thomastmwc]

@luvxl or Miss Devia FYI
they both can sing in their mid 60s, whereas Dessay, pity

[@machovoce6826]

Perhaps it was her "interpretation," but I would not have recommended consistently singing under pitch for "dramatic" effect.

[@thomastmwc]

a voice dying

[@thomastmwc]

ummm...whatever... I love her acting I liked her as a singer but now...? 65%...
I am not against her :( Don't get me wrong, please...
