Natalie Dessay - "Les filles de Cadix" (Delibes)

[@janejones11]

She sounds lovely in this. This type of music was very flattering to her voice and style.

[@marcelbureau2753]

WoW quel beau cri à la fin !!! Elle criait tellement bien … vraiment la meilleure!

[@musicminds91]

This is the best version of Les Filles de Cadix (I've been looking for another versions lol), and that F-sharp at the end? Marvelous!

[@maikm6437]

Die Interpretation von Natalie Dessay ist unübertroffen. Ihre Stimme vermittelt ein tiefes Erleben. Grandios.

[@giuseppinascapparone5912]

Un pezzo adattissimo per questa voce. Una interpretazione stupenda!!!!!

[@АнютаЛебедева-о2ф]

Это ЛУЧШЕЕ исполнение!!!)))) На мой вкус лучшее из многих и многих даже самых прославленных певиц. ))) дело вкуса, конечно.

[@michaelsegelman3796]

Все правильно, - только Натали Дессей - одна из самых прославленных певиц и есть)))

[@piano-jazzsvt5180]

J’adore cet air 🥰 avec une voix sublime 🌺

[@thatoperastar0604]

I'm singing this for my senior recital next year. Thanks for posting. It's given me some GREAT ideas as to what to do with it personal wise.

[@TCt83067695]

How did it go?

[@SarahSopran]

my favorite performance of this song..

[@cyrilgerardon1999]

Très bel air, très bien interprété. Autres bonnes références : Joan Sutherland avec orchestre, Mady Mesplé avec piano, Julie Fuchs avec petit ensemble. Une belle réussite de Delibes, encore une !

[@wuyuqiao0820]

thank you for offer this beautiful song

[@andreeanneleclerc]

this is BRILLIANT

[@Nyxtia]

A beautiful song. I love French, and I'm 15 and Welsh :P

[@coloraturaMusic]

A light voice is definitely the best for this piece ! One of my favorite versions here ...

[@ireneday6865]

The most beautiful voice after M. Caballé.

[@alajbegslama301]

@@ireneday6865 Totally different. Two wonderful and esotheric voices, but not the same imho.

[@christophefournier2095]

Quel talent !!!!

[@MrPianogeek]

Amazing. Perfect.

[@boriss.861]

Sublime top F#! And yes I noticed every other subtly that takes binary dots on a page and make music out of it.

[@TheMusicscotty]

Powerful! Lots of energy in this! I love it!

[@lafleurquicache]

This is brilliant!

[@pmaster7573]

Nous venions de voir le taureau Trois garçons, trois fillettes Sur la pelouse, il faisait beau Et nous dansions un bolero Au son des castagnettes Dites moi, voisin Si j'ai bonne mine Et si ma basquine Va bien, ce matin Vous me trouvez la taille fine? Vous me trouvez la taille fine? Ah, ah, ah, ah Les filles de Cadiz aiment assez cela Ah, ah, ah, ah Les filles de Cadiz aiment assez cela La-la-la Les filles de Cadiz aiment assez cela Ah, ah, ah, ah Et nous dansions un bolero Un soir c'etait dimanche Vers nous s'en vint un hidalgo Cousu d'or, plume au chapeau Et le poing sur la hanche Si tu veux de moi Brune au doux sourire? Tu n'as qu'a le dire Cet or est á toi Passez votre chemin beau, sire Passez votre chemin beau, sire Ah, ah, ah, ah Les filles de Cadiz n'entendent pas cela Ah, ah, ah, ah Les filles de Cadiz n'entendent pas cela La-la-la Les filles de Cadiz n'entendent pas cela Ah, ah, ah, ah

[@miCeciliaBartoli]

[@Mushroomfrogbi]

Note for me: My version ends at 3:09

[@angelicamansilla]

MARAVILLOSA!!!

[@wuyuqiao0820]

How enjoy to listen her song..

[@norayrhakobyan2257]

Bravoooooooooo👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Satirike]

This is so beautiful...and her diction and everything is great because she's French. Netrebko had issues with this song in my humble un-musically-talented opinion. xD

[@magsorrell13]

Does anyone know where to find music with the third verse included? I've been doing fine without the actual music in front of me for the third (since its a strophic piece it all sounds the same) its just easier to make sure im getting the syllables on the right note with the actual music in front of me. and my accompanist would love it too!

[@blandineremy9240]

La meilleure version de cette chanson. Je viens d'écouter la version d'Anna netrebko et c'est beaucoup moins bien que celle-ci.

[@mckavitt13]

The music is French, after all. Netrebko is Russian. I love the interpretation by Victoria de los Angeles, who does a great job, & is Spanish, but mastered the French idiom, if you will. Natalie only has to open her gorgeous gullet & sing in her mother tongue.

[@evon715]

Diva！！！！

[@Kiarinadia]

It is not just a question of native language, it is also mastering a style.

[@lioneloddo]

What do les filles de Cadix want at the end of the day ? They just want to dance and to be admired for their beauty from people. It's enough for their happiness. They don't want money or wedding. They want to be free.

[@voltape]

You mean this?: Et nous dansions un boléro, Au pied de la colline, Sur le chemin passait Diègo, Qui pour tout bien n'a qu'un manteau Et qu'une mandoline: 'La belle aux doux yeux, Je suis jaloux, Jaloux, jaloux, Jaloux! jaloux! quelle sottise! Les filles de Cadix craignent ce défaut-là!'

[@TCt83067695]

3:40 Tu t'en l'Église ?

[@yukikun123]

This is wonderful! Brava :D Is this on an album or something? Because I can't find it on iTunes. Thank you for posting this!

[@Nadelanu]

:O this song has 3 verses??

[@ChristineMarie1992]

Does anyone know the 3rd verse? I have sung this mélodie many times, but have never found a version of the sheet music with the third verse in it... ;'(

[@madeleinebrandenburg401]

Same, I'm doing this for my Upper Divisional next semester and I'm trying to find it.

[@mariateresalensrodriguez8286]

La millor versió, amb molta diferencia

[@DanielleEatonHart]

I too wish I had music and lyrics to the third verse.

[@amadfook3r]

totally forgot about this.

l'avantage d'etre de langue française quand on chante une oeuvre française...c'est qu' on a pas droit aux commentaires sur "ces etrangères qui prononcent mal..) etc etc...

[@msszollosiable]

Nous venions de voir le taureau, Trois garçons, trois fillettes, Sur la pelouse il faisait beau Et nous dansions un boléro Au son des castagnettes. 'Dites-moi, voisin, Si j'ai bonne mine, Et si ma basquine Va bien, ce matin. Vous me trouvez la taille fine ?... Ah! ah! Les filles de Cadix aiment assez cela.' Et nous dansions un boléro Un soir, c'était dimanche. Vers nous s'en vint un hidalgo Cousu d'or, la plume au chapeau, Et la poing sur la hanche: 'Si tu veux de moi, Brune au doux sourire, Tu n'as qu'a le dire, Cet or est à toi. -- Passez votre chemin, beau sire... Ah! Ah! Les filles de Cadix n'entendent pas cela.' Spanish Song (The girls of Cadiz) English Translation © Richard Stokes We'd just left the bullfight, Three boys, three girls, The sun shone on the grass And we danced a bolero To the sound of castanets. 'Tell me, neighbour, Am I looking good, And does my skirt Suit me, this morning? Have I a slender waist? Ah! Ah! The girls of Cadiz are rather fond of that.' And we were dancing a bolero, One sunday evening. A hidalgo came towards us, Glittering in gold, feather in cap, And hand on hip: 'If you want me, Dark beauty with the sweet smile, You've only to say so, And these riches are yours.' Go on your way, fine sir. Ah! ah! The girls of Cadiz don't take to that.

[@JudithRodriguez_74]

I agree with you...just saw it on youtube. It´s a shame. Netrebko butchered that song.

...faisait beau)))))) it's like fusy boo

[@RaiderEleven]

Another excellent version. Remember this is a studio recording and they can do takes and perform adjustments. The voice sounds somewhat with an echo and not close to the mike. Netrebko did not butcher that song, her performance was LIVE, no re-takes. Classical music is not to be mechanically performed the exact same way by each musician, note for note. Netrebko has the superior breathing technique and sustained notes at the end of her cresendo. Dessay is using a shout rather that singing.

[@thatgirlnaat]

I love her light lyrical voice, but in my opinion was too light for some moments. I believe she’s wonderful, but I much prefer Damrau’s version more. I felt Diana’s emotion pull more, and had a bit more substance to her sound.

[@陳怡蓓-u8q]

Check out Victoria de Los Angeles’s interpretation, was also quite brilliant.

[@coloraturaMusic]

hahaha not everybody knows that XD

[@colerfith]

Damrau's version is better!
