C est vrai , il utilise un curieux français de la fin du 19 ème siècle dans les intonations

[@fabriziogarzi9892]

I cantanti francesi non hanno grandi voci e la tecnica e' spesso inesistente. La Dessay e' il classico sopranino di coloratura di cui nel mondo c'è ne sono a centinaia. Grandi cantanti francesi fuoriclasse non sono mai esistiti. Qualche voce piacevole, Vanzo, Thill, Gorr, Crespin...si contano sulle dita di una mano di un grande invalido. Sutherland superiore a qualunque coloratura francese. In teatro la Dessay aveva una voce piccola, si sentiva poco dalla 4° fila di poltrone in poi. I sopracuti a spillo.

Ou va la jeune Indoue, Filles des Parias, Quand la lune se joue, Dans le grand mimosas? Elle court sur la mousse Et ne se souvient pas Que partout on repousse L'enfant des parias; Le long des lauriers roses, Revant de douce choses, Ah! Elle passe sans bruit Et riant a la nuit. Labas dans la foret plus sombre, Quel est ce voyageur perdu? Autour de lui Des yeux brillent dans l'ombre, Il marche encore au hasard, e perdu! Les fauves rugissent de joie, Ils vont se jeter sur leur proie, Le jeune fille accourt Et brave leur fureurs: Elle a dans sa main la baguette ou tinte la clochette des charmeurs! L'etranger la regarde, Elle reste eblouie. Il est plus beau que les Rajahs! Il rougira, s'il sait qu'il doit La vie a la fille des Parias. Mais lui, l'endormant dans un reve, Jusque dans le ciel il l'enleve, En lui disant: 'ta place et la!' C'etait Vishnu, fils de Brahma! Depuis ce jour au fond de bois, Le voyageur entend parfois Le bruit leger de la baguette Ou tinte la clochette des charmeurs!
