Natalie Dessay - Die Entführung aus dem Serail: Martern aller Arten - LIVE Geneve 2000 

With Natalie you can only expect a superb performance .. my expectations were completely met .. & some! Superb! :)

in these roles...she was from another planet!

Merveilleuse Nathalie Dessay, chanteuse à la voie d'or qui m'a fait adoré le classique ! Excellente reine de la nuit aussi. C'est un vrai plaisir d'écouter Mozart chanté par elle! RESPECT

Her German diction surprised me! Way to go, Dessay!

You cannot save your voice much when acting like her used to. She gives everything! you feel it.

This is Extraordinary. ( ignoring the noise in the background ) just Wow. My favourite part would start from 3:41 all the way to 4:54 Just Amazing! Then another incredible Dessay note at 7:36. Love Dame Dessay

Fascinating staging. BRAVA, what an actress!!! WHAT a beautiful performance!!

Oh Natalie. A glorious basket-case. A true artist.

The acting at the beginning alone is really involved.

Einfach nur super gesungen, alle Achtung!

Yup! Like Juliette, Musetta and Pamina! These are the roles that she did once and never touched again, sadly :'(

Prodigieuse !

Her piani and crescendi are breathtaking. This is how this aria should sound.

WOW

Martern aller Arten Mögen meiner warten, Ich verlache Qual und Pein. Nichts soll mich erschüttern, Nur dann würd' ich zittern, Wenn ich untreu könnte seyn. Lass dich bewegen, Verschone mich! Des Himmels Segen Belohne dich! Doch du bist entschlossen. Willig, unverdrossen Wähl' ich jede Pein und Noth. Ordne nur, gebiethe, Lärme, tobe, wüthe, Zuletzt befreyt mich doch der Tod.

Remarkable.

Just PERFECT

6:48 - 6:58 is unreal. 7:36 - 8:00 too.

Coucou Nathalie vous êtes vraiment super mon rêve serais de vous rencontrer personnellement .De faire un album à vous en hommage à Michel legrand j ai des années de chant c est ma passion mon hobby ma drogue le chant je ne peux plus m en passer . J adore chanter .je vous envoie mille bisous en espérant une réponse de votre part sabine

At 8:56 it bothers me how the orchestra comes in as she sings “tod.” If they’d waited a few seconds and let the note ring through the opera house it would’ve given that a much more dramatic effect, which I think she intended based on the delivery

wow

i love pianisimo C!! any way how sad...T.T..

What a true and good voice for a Mozart opera. I heard her as Queen of the Night with Les Arts Florrisants under William Christie, one of the best recordings ever (together with the Kuijken and Jacobs renditions).

sublime

BRAVISSIMO!!! Étheri fímomságok!

Is it true that she only did Konstanze once?

Show me another soprano that will place a high C like she does on a recording, let alone live after being midway through such an aria.

Did she ever sing Blondchen?

toll! ich mag sie sonst nicht, für die meisten Rollen, die sie sang, hatte sie einfach nicht die Stimme, darum ging sie ja auch kaputt. Aber aber das war ihr Ding, grossartig!

oooh.......:(.....

Forceful and well acted, but she does sound like she's really pushing the limits of her voice at times.

Weak trill. Scooping.
