Marilyn Horne: Mon Coeur s'Ouvre à ta Voix (Saint-Saëns) - Royal Opera House 1990

[@mikedruydd9081]

With that voice, gift, technique - she stunned both Joan and Pavarotti! Marilyn Horne sang with Love - with Her whole Being. She stooped to concur. And She did!

[@johnkearns35]

Ms. Horne’s voice is magnificent! She is sorely missed!

[@gerardsatamian]

She's still alive.

The world is just not thr same now without these amazing artists, I know they're are other singers, but not like these amazing people, God bless them

[@bigal05171957]

No words can express the beautiful and gifted Horne & Sutherland & Pavarotti there TEARS OF JOY will live on 💐 👏 🌹

[@flav2689]

I love this! The way Sutherland and Pava applauded and looked at her, makes me so happy. They clearly respected and were proud of her. ❤

[@donallally4892]

Joan Sutherland was a really lovely lady and a great singer and artist, but Marilyn Horne had a horse of a voice that will live forever, particularly in this live performance, magnefique

[@unabarry2476]

Yes, it was in Die Fledermaus like no other Fledermaus performance in England to say goodbye to Joan Sutherland as an active singer.

[@timkipling5188]

I was there! An amazing evening! Dame Joan Sutherland’s farewell to Covent Garden… oh and Pavarotti sang too…. Just incredible

[@donallally4892]

Yes it is very sad they are gone from our midst, BUT, those magical recordings will live forever

[@gerardsatamian]

Marilyn is still alive.

[@NeilGastonguay]

A once and once only voice. Richness and range, a unique resonance, and a consummate bel canto style. There will never be another who can equal her.

[@renatekl]

Mit ihrer wundervollen Stimme bringt sie diese Arie von Saint-Seans perfekt rüber. Dank! 0:44

[@marilynhornemuseumandexhib6386]

Absolutely gorgeous. And the Marilyn Horne Museum is fortunate to have the gown she wore for this performance in its collection.

[@JLeel7]

I’m glad this is back up! I just love how Pavarotti fell into a musical trance.

[@klp3]

Listening to this, so did I! I don't blame him a bit.

[@bingo1232]

Man to her lefty and behind her keeps his eyes shut; seeing only a rarefied vision of beauty… I saw Marily sing this at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore; this hippy kid (me) was forever entranced by the majesty that only heart-felt singing can gift us with.

[@flav2689]

Man to her left? That’s not just any man, that’s Pavarotti himself😂

[@scarpien]

The first time I heard this piece Marilyn Horne sang it. And now years later whenever I hear anyone else perform it I compare them to her. When Saint-Saens composed that Aria he had Marilyn Horne in mind.

[@baritonebynight]

Its difficult that Dame Joan and Luciano are no longer with us.....but thankfully Ms. Horne is very much alive and active as a teacher. I saw Ms. Horne live sing this in a recital in 1997....still in very fine voice .

[@jorgedavila1479]

La divina Horne, una de esas cantantes inolvidables, y una de las mezzos más dotadas de la historia.

[@RBP1963]

She and Montserrat Caballé did straordinary renditions in Semiramide in Aix , she is outstanding !!!

This is truly seductive singing. It clear to all, why Samson gave in ...

Would be interesting to know the conductor's name. A conductor can make or break the performance for the diva ... except for her attention to text, (yes, she was singing in French) she hit this one out of the park.

[@tiatoms5379]

It was Richard Bonynge.

[@robvanwyck3063]

Thanks Tia. Yes, a conductor of renown.

[@jairojoaquim2930]

[@jjlungdoc7472]

In my opinion, Horne sang “ Mon coeur” much better than other great singers such as Verrett, Norman, Bumbry or Garanca. Excruciating long phrases and legato! Just saying.

[@dubbelhenke854]

No Verrett, Norman and Bumbry are much better. This is horrible.

​@@dubbelhenke854Horrible because of her rich tone? That's what I find some people don't like

[@dubbelhenke854]

@@skhulilengema4094 No because of her nasal and constricted tone.

[@marcelbureau2753]

She has no depth in the sound and a lot of nasality. Her voice does not project very well. It is tight and pressurized and she forces the voice into the false mask (nose). This is not an operatic sound because there is no chiaroscuro resonance. Unbearable!!!

[@dubbelhenke854]

Yes it is awful. 😢 Why is she saluted so much? I could easily name at least a dozen who would have sung this much better.

[@mino7520]

Je regrette mais sa voix n'a pas la couleur pour dalila. Bien sûr ce n'est qu' un avis qui ne préjuge en rien de la qualité de son art.

[@genoaboyfromohio1619]

This gorgeous aria is NOT from "Die Fledermaus"....It is from the Saint-Saens opera "Samson et Delilah"....Be more careful when labeling work by great artists like Ms. Horne....

[@PipesFanatic]

If you read the title and description, you'll see that it is not labelled nor described as being from "Die Fledermaus." It is, as you say from "Samson et DALILA" (be more careful when labelling works by great composers like Saint-Saëns). This performance of this aria, however, was performed by Ms Horne when she, Dame Joan and Luciano Pavarotti were the "cabaret" guests for the party scene in Act II of the Royal Opera House's production of "Die Fledermaus" at Covent Garden in 1990.

[@IrenaKhrebtova]

@@PipesFanatic Thank you for bringing this up: indeed 'Die Fliedermouse' allows to sing almost anything in the so called "guest scene", it is effectively a cameo appearance - and Ms.Horne does the Saint-Saens wonderfully. I wish I was old enough to hear her sing in-person.

[@jeandeblaize4175]

Trop maniéré, trop récité, trop plat, pas de sentiment, Ses mots en français sont mangés, mal articulés ça déroule Elle se donne en spectacle, rien pour le compositeur, rien pour l'art Une Castafiore qui cabotine. Affligeant

Also, sie hat wohl eine grosse Stimme und viel Technik-aber ihr Timbre gefällt mir einfach nicht!
