Qui peut m'expliquer pourquoi Annick Massis n'est pas très présente sur les scènes mondiales - tandis que Nathalie Dessay "chante" sa version de "La Traviata" partout - sans avoir 10% de la voix de Massis?
Très belle ligne de chant, style impeccable! Elle enfle un peu sa voix afin d'obtenir plus d'ampleur, ce qui donne dans le second couplet quelques sons dans les joues (défaut de Callas en fin de carrière et péché mignon cher à Lucia Aliberti) mais elle s'en sort fort bien. Belle performance, ça donne envie de l'entendre dans l'intégralité du rôle!
Beverly Sills still remains the Queen of the bel canto repertoire but this is very beautifully done and interpreted. Massis never attempts more than she is capable of and thereby gives a very plausible performance, well polished and with a very sound legato line which is the secret of a successful Bellini interpreter. For your own edification, if you do not know of Beverly Sills then listen and weep when you hear how she trills, her effortless top notes and beautiful bel canto. Brava Massis.
Grazie x questo video veramente... Io c'ero a questa rappresentazione e ricordo benissimo la grande voce e presenza della signora Massis..... Oltre al grande Renato Bruson.... Thank you
What a divine Diva! I had the pleasure to admire Annick in the Nice(-Caen) production in the three soprano roles. Although she was suffering from a flu and a sore throat she sang most beautifully. After the performance she said to me: C´est une opéra très philosophique. How right she was!
Let's talk about Annick Massis singing. Gorgeous. She'll be long dead before she gets the recognition this incredible performer deserves. Give her praise now, not later.
