Elsa Dreisig sings "Ah! je ris de me voir si belle" (The Jewel Song)

Elsa Dreisig sings one of Charles Gounod’s best-loved opera arias, ‘Ah, je ris de me voir si belle’ from Faust, known as The Jewel Song. It features on Elsa’s forthcoming debut album Miroirs. w.lnk.to/miroi...
She describes the album as “less a mirror of my current repertoire in the opera house than a mirror of my passions, of the inner fire that drives me … taking a perspective on the future, both near and more distant.” Miroirs will be released worldwide on 5 October 2018

Her french diction is perfect! I love her.

Her father - Gilles Ramade - is French . . .

[@mackiemesser9319]

@@sambalbadjak8888 Aha. Ceci explique cela !

[@liamvnbw]

It's true... This pronunciation is more correct. Yet I still prefer that hard "R" that other singers tend to use in French. It just sounds right to me.

[@liamvnbw]

@@renaudjean9151 Yes, I know that she is pronouncing it correctly. I just said that I personally like the alternative pronunciation better. It's got that old fashioned feel to it... C'est juste une question de préférance personelle!

@@liamvnbw Ah d’accord je comprends :)

[@kastrafior6166]

Woaw !!! Enfin une - sublime, en plus - cantatrice avec une prononciation non-ampoulée et fraîche. Quelle merveille ! Elsa Dreisig est ici pour moi l'anti-Castafiore, que je me suis toujours immaginée artificielle, imbue d'elle-même, arrogante et superficielle.... Elsa Dreisig casse les clichés, l'orchestre et le le chef sont merveilleux !

Why

[@Appliedphysics2024]

Stupid peoples

[@diegovazquezreal1078]

I did. I think she has a beautiful timbre but I hoped to listen an opera aria and this doesn't (IMO). She is whispering half of the time. For me this is not opera

[@lanjiaojiaozhu2745]

Because they are mezzo and cannot sing high notes.

[@Myxpix]

I agree with Lan. There are some splendid performances by spinto sopranos. These voices are preferred by some for their weight and volume; but they either do not convey the youth of the heroine in this drama or falter on the C-sharp, or both.

[@user-yl7fh9to3p]

Sa prononciation de français est super séduisante! Je connais cette chanson à l’école primaire quand j’ai regardé ‘les aventures de Tintin’, mais à ce moment-là, je ne pensais pas que les paroles de cette chanson seraient tellement narcissiques😂

[@user-xt8tj9xw8q]

Beautiful voice but its all

[@orion8835]

yes the voix has some Cortrubas qualities....especially the way that she shortens her end phrases due to short breath a problem Ileana bemoaned due to a childhood bout illness that affected her lungs ...that said the voice seems resonant at the top but the middle seems small . Not sure if it’s true size frankly . These days so much is messed with . But I get the feeling it’s a Lighter lyric soprano voice . She no doubt will be singing Tosca in 4 years ... yawn .

[@user-lb8km1kd9t]

I would like to understand what pushes the singers with this type of voice - lirico leggero - to sing Tosca, except ambition. I've recently heard Elsa Dreisig in Cosi fan tutte (recording), there she tried to fake the chest registre and I also felt that Tosca is frighteningly near. There's a sad recent example of Sonya Yoncheva in Tosca, could it alert any young singer? There's enough material to sing for each type of voice, why this masochism?

[@rociogomezfn]

I loved her voice! The music is very well executed. But, in my opinion, it's lack of any emotions. I missed that. Even so, bravo!

[@iloveopera1951]

Except a good French, zero! If this is the level today, then opera will be soon dead!
