Fatma Said, Marianne Crebassa - Offenbach: Barcarolle: Belle nuit ô nuit d’amour (Contes d'Hoffmann)

The Barcarolle from Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann spins an enchanting melody for two, here soprano Fatma Said and mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa. Listen to their recording with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo and conductor Sascha Goetzel on Fatma Said's album Kaleidoscope: w.lnk.to/kalLY
The program presents, in Fatma's words, "a montage of many different songs and arias, each with its own kind of story to tell through a particular style of music - and rhythm." The thread that weaves them together is the theme of dance: "I’ve always felt inspired by the physical and internal movement in dancing - whether with a partner or alone - and for me it represents another way of expressing myself."

[@dennisdougherty7538]

Very nice indeed but...when 2 vocalists or 2 instrumentalists perform in unison, they should agree on who should be slightly dominant. In this case the voices contest each other (not intentionally) but by equal individuality of musical character. Possibly, it is the fault of the engineers. It would be obvious to any musician/engineer that they should have used a double ribbon microphone on Ms. Crebassa or a condenser with a softer vacuum tube.

[@damianop100]

@@dennisdougherty7538 I don't hear it (the voices contesting each other) and am unsure what you mean by this. Also I don't support your contention that an agreement should be reached who should be slightly dominant. Why? Of course the part/singer who starts grabs the ear first and serves as the vocal point of reference for the duet, but not due to dominance rather to place of origin. I think this performance works beautifully, no need for either to dominate, not even slightly. I find no tension or contest here as you claim, rather a smooth and balanced complimentarity.

[@colinmyers9200]

the engineering that went into the placing of the microphones to keep the voices balanced alone in this performance is incredible... im sure both women went through crazy extents to not overpower eacthoer.. but the microphone setup clearly indicates they spent A LOT of time perfecting this and it shows in the performance. i have never in my life hear such a perfect harmony of voices... truly incredible. it truly sounds as if these two women are trying to convince the other that they have the most beautiful voice in the world and they dont believe it so they must compare.. even though each of them is complimenting the other in the best way they possibly could imagine.. only making each of them sound even more angelic.. time for me to learn french..
