Elīna Garanča - Saint-Saëns: 'Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix' from Samson et Dalila (Romantique)

[@johnburns1828]

To think there are people who go through life never hearing stuff like this, never knowing how beautiful, how expressive a woman's voice can be.

[@robynkroetz1311]

One of the best comments and thoughts I have read. I often think this to myself when I first discovered opera. Thank You for your insight. 🌞☮️

[@perrocafe5279]

When i'm hearing this music I can't think how people can't live without this music.

[@MLOA-zv3re]

Por ejemplo los talibanes, para los cuales esta prohibido escuchar música, menos interpretada por una mujer

[@MrInterestingthings]

or what a beautiful melody well harmonized can be . Or pure sound and just the experience of NOISE and instrumental thinking and nohow can give one. Saint-Saens is a bit oldfashioned for me but there s much pleasure in his orchestration here ! I want to find his other operas the 5 piano concerti and cello concerto hae always been favorittes .I think violin concerto no.3 still gets played .Lord knows that shorter violin orchestra 2partpiece is programmed everywhere!So much of the great things music does even the noise of Boulez (my favorite!)Michael Hersch,

[@joetursi9573]

Indeed!!

[@bradh3484]

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times… Saint-Saens is underrated.

[@alecfoster5542]

Very much so! I also think French music as a whole is under-appreciated!

Helps that garanča is so convincingly expressive tho. Doesn't matter what she's singing. Funny, I'm listening to my coworkers fangirl over Taylor swift, while this is in my other ear lol. Such plebian taste...

[@jean-christopheMiquel-ef3ur]

Vraiment cet air de Saint-Saens, compositeur dont curieusement aucun commentaire ne donne ici le nom, fait partie des plus beaux et merveilleux airs jamais écrits. C'est vrai qu'Elina Garantcha lui a donné une nouvelle jeunesse , une popularité et une quasi perfection en le chantant souvent dans ses récitals (qu'on peut écouter en présence du public sur You tube).

[@jackybouyer5344]

Si, moi! Cette composition est sublime! Je trouve d'ailleurs qu'on ne met pas assez en avant les compositeurs lors d'un concert. A la fin on applaudit copieusement les musiciens et le chef d'orchestre mais le compositeur qui a créé l’œuvre reste souvent dans l'ombre! Il suffirait, à mon avis, de faire apparaître en grand sur un écran le nom du compositeur au début et à la fin de la représentation afin qu'il puisse être vu et honoré comme il se doit par le chef d'orchestre et le public!

[@donna30044]

The warm, rich, full timbre of her voice is mesmerizing. Sheer perfection!

[@钱林涛]

[@dieseldog00]

The first time I heard Elina sing this aria was when I clicked on her 2011 Vienna Opera Ball performance. She had me in tears at the end. And when I saw Anna Netrebko all choked up it brought home to me how special Elina is. I have listened to lots of Mezzos but for me Elina's voice stands above all others. She is an alien from another planet.

[@ericgarbutt8561]

In a class of her own. So many have recorded this aria and many with distinction. What makes this excel is the true mezzo voice and the beautiful singing. Marylin Horne's version was the standard for decades, but she growled the low notes; Elina sing them and never loses her beauty of tone. Magnificent.

[@mtrmann]

ERIC GARBUTT Elina is incredibly seductive, Horne not so much.

[@paulgeidel4195]

Eric - I agree 100%! I have a CD with Horne performing this aria and I used to play that for friends. Now I'm sharing this link. So many mezzos like to show off a husky sound on the low notes, and there are times when that may be good, but Elina sings with such beautiful, unified sound, top to bottom. It is actually her softer sounds that won me over on this recording.

[@ivanmarcano6292]

Maravillosa, belleza que Dios nos ofrece. Bravo Elina !

​@@YThome7la mesure et la modestie ne conviennent pas à l'intrigue de cet opéra. On envoie Dalila pour séduire Sanson et l'assassiner. La cantatrice doit donc rendre la duplicité vénale de Dalila. C'est le contraire d'un chant d'amour! L'interprétation est donc fausse

Tout est magistral : le tempo, la présence et l'équilibre voix/orchestre, la qualité de l'enregistrement. Deutsche Grammophon nous livre un chef d'oeuvre. Elina, je t'aime. Je ne resiste pas à citer Charles Baudelaire : Il est des parfums frais comme des chairs d'enfants, Doux comme les hautbois, verts comme les prairies, - Et d'autres, corrompus, riches et triomphants, Ayant l'expansion des choses infinies, Comme l'ambre, le musc, le benjoin et l'encens, Qui chantent les transports de l'esprit et des sens.
