- Brava Desay
All the selections are fabulous.However, the mad scene from Lucia is special.First listen to it from the CD THEN watch the DVD.On a scale of 1 to 10, you give the CD version a 10.But then you have to give the DVD version a 15 based on her acting as well as her singing.
Rating: - Mad Scene triumph
My wife and I saw Ms.Dessay perform Lucia at the Paris Opera in a non-traditional production. We thought it was fabulous, but the DVD of her performance at the Met in a traditional staging may be even better. Although there are a few misses in her singing,the overall effect leaves you in tears.

...she never made me cringe, either. Callas made me cringe. Often...OK, that's not really fair...Miss Dessay is of the lyric/coloratura mold; Callas fit more in the lyrico-spinto niche.

Her upper, and middle, notes are her strong points..."always play to your strength" is a good lesson anywhere.
My favorite cuts were the first and last...Violetta's "sempre libra", an ... Read More
Rating: - Splendid coloratura work
As I understand it, Natalie Dessay recently underwent surgery for nodes on her vocal chords.Hence, I was quite interested to listen to this CD, to see if this had affected her obvious gifts as a coloratura soprano, one of those high-flying phenomena. 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
