Saint Saens: "Samson et Dalila":"Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix"- Olga Borodina, Placido Domingo

[@BachsChaconne]

Olga was born for this role. This is simply the best, the perfect version of this highly underrated aria . Olga's voice in here is superb, mellow, powerful, sensual , and stunning. Her facial expressions, together with Domingo and the orchestra... the short but climatic though short duet is supreme. I could't ask for more!

[@mariezenaida]

I feel like this role was written for Borodina. She is perfection.

[@ИлонаЧиханацкая]

It was written for Mariya Callas , only

[@cliffgaither]

MZ ❌️ No One ! No One ! can sing this aria/scene like Borodina ! You're right ! she's perfection.

[@АнИ-р1т]

@@ИлонаЧиханацкая это было написано гораздо раньше. Написано для Полины Виардо, но она ни разу не исполнила эту партию.

[@FairyForest87]

Callas sings it beautifully with unparalleled emotion but Borodina is outstanding too

[@Ariadne-cg4cq]

@@FairyForest87 Borodina has the right timbre of voice. She is a true mezzo with the right chest voice which is necessary for this role. I saw her at the Met with Domingo singing Samson many years ago probably nearly 15 - 20 years ago. She was stupendous!

Великолепные голоса!!!!! Гениальные певцы Ольга Бородина и Пласидо Доминго!!!!!!!!

magnifique borodina, magnifique saint saens ❤

[@lisztchopinliebestraum3507]

I am really truly struggling to see what makes people look down their noses at Saint-Saëns. I have heard some say, "His music was by no means profound, but he composed a lovely opera, Samson et Dalilah !" I think this opera is far more than simply "Lovely"; The style it is written in I had never heard before listening to it and have not heard since. There is something so modern, and so refreshing about this opera, the music is mystical and elusive, Saint-Saëns cleverly sustains this very visionary atmosphere through to the end through rich orchestration and harmony. I simply do not see what makes him a "second tier composer", I find this opera beyond profound. Perhaps it is that he was more methodical than some composers when writing? Or the fact that his 'style' was not as distinct as other composers. Perhaps even prejudice towards the man himself. Surely many others must think so too.

[@zenetto1658]

Não sei como podem achar isso deste gênio que ele era basta ouvir esta ópera

[@ellacarson2048]

Indeed adore his work.

[@НаталияЦвигун-р4у]

Не каждой Далиле веришь, что у неё нет сил ждать жгучих ласк Самсона. Здесь получилось. Браво Бородина! И Самсон страстен!

[@ЛикаХоломеева]

Ольга Бородина и Хосе Кура!!!

The orchestra is in almost perfect sync with the performers. So rare. Much respect.

I first heard this as a child of 8 on old wind up 78. Although I didn't know what the music was, it remained with me until I heard it again as a grown man. It took me back to my grandfather, my childhood and this recording is wonderful.

Malgré tout la plus belle interprétation n’est pas ici dans la liste. ..c’est le duo en 78’ tours de GEORGES THILL ET GERMAINE CERNAY IL N’Y A PAS Une plus parfaite interprétation de la part de SAMSON DANS CE DUO TANT LA VOIX EST BELLE , LA DICTION MAJESTUEUSE ET LA TECHNIQUE SOUS JACENTE DE THILL qui se termine par un SI MEZZA-VOCCE QUE L’ON DEVRAIT FAIRE ECOUTER EN BOUCLE DANS LES CONSERVATOIRES..

Debussy attended a performance of this opera and wrote that it was some of the most beautiful music that he had ever heard.

[@morganchan2465]

That's amazing ! Her voice is rich and gentle ~ Very lovely ~ AND Bravo , Placido ~ Perfect Perfect Perfect !

[@dueva28]

the best Dalila i've ever heard

[@enriquerossel6594]

I strongly encourage you to hear the great Dalilahs of the past, there you will find a bunch of nice interpretations as Hélène Bouvier, Suzzane Lefort, Risë Stevens and Blanche Thebom, all of them knowing perfectly well how to sing the role. Then the later Rita Gorr one of the tops, Jean Madeira, Oralian Dominguez and Shirley Verret, the last great Dalilah. Borodina unfortunately has no idea of the way to sing the role and I guess she doesn't have even the D flat and certainly not de C because the emission of those notes is completely silenced, exactly the opposite to Saint Saëns idea of enlarging and amplifying the end of the phrases, all of them concluding in the chest, a technique that seems to be erased in modern times to the knowledge of actual singers.

[@elisabetaploscaru7224]

it is a Star Track / Samson and Dalia merge, production companies these days. First they merged Frozen with sleeping beauty, then pride and prejudice with walking dead, and now this.

[@alessandroalessandro6771]

really odd

[@JaneUK]

It's so beautiful but I can't watch it without dissolving in to giggles. Olga's hugging this huge blanket. Placid is crawling along it. Then the fumble at the end as they position themselves for this really weird pose with Olga head back and Placido trying to stand over her.... What on earth were the production team thinking? How Placido and Olga managed to sing a note I just don't know.
