Saint-Saëns: Samson et Dalila - Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix (Olga Borodina & José Cura)

[@clive7092]

[@clara766]

Entièrement d'accord avec vous ! C'est de l'or liquide, cette Olga.

OMG i almost cried with this one. I've been a fan of this aria for decades, but this rendition is just world class. I'm always so picky with female voices, but Olga voice has such an amazing colour. Just sublime.

@@solveiglandvikbrg9103 oui, j'ai lu la Bible. Livre des Juges: ' Elle l’endormit sur ses genoux. Et ayant appelé un homme, elle rasa les sept tresses de la tête de Samson, et commença ainsi à le dompter. Il perdit sa force.' Mais, je l'aime en dépit de sa perfidie. L'amour ne se commande pas !

She's just perfect here. I always come back to this. Such a well balanced voice. Top to bottom. Powerful yet plush and voluptuous.

[@elenalagaisse669]

This is my favourite version! Love Cura’s subtle and tender singing and the blending of voices

[@radames5855]

Bravissima la signora Borodina...in questa performance mi piace anche José Cura...

[@blueangel9746]

JOSE CURAis Indeed the Tenor of the tenors , His Powerful but sweet masculine voice is the best, and Borodina is in the top five Sopranos but in this specific fragment of the Samson and Delilah is the finest the Performance is Perfect and No Doubt the best Rendition of them all.

Olga Borodina es maravillosa. José Cura interpreta a un Sansón enamorado, con una canto muy romántico. Felicitaciones a los dos.!!!!!

[@meto2854]

I've listened to dozens, if not hundreds of versions of this duet, and this is the best blending of the two voices, along with just the right intensity at the end, so one doesn't overpower the other. Borodina's rich, creamy sound is a rare gem!

[@larryhamlet8479]

This was my first opera at the Chicago Lyric back in 1966. I am still in love with this work, and these two just bring back such happy memories. Wonderful.

Great performance. Their restitution of french is almost perfect.

[@davebillnitzer5824]

Cura is splendid in this, would that he could always sound this way. In the romantic, tender parts of his repertoire, he's to die for. When he has to sound heroic it too often turns painful. Borodina is always a marvel, a force of nature, but always in control.

[@eerttree5340]

[@mickbachner]

Absolutely fantastic. ( I have been using it as my antidote to the X factor) The calm and measured style they both demonstrate here shows true artistry. They never vie with each other to out sing the other but each manage to encapsulate emotion and true feeling into their performance which i think is in true harmony both musically and emotionally.

[@sarahdaniel411]

Yes, I prefer it when he doesn't sound like a crow! Stupendous, in tender form. And Olga, wow. A pleasure to watch.

[@Tenortalker]

I agree with you he can be the most wonderful, romantic sounding tenor , but then you click on another link and hear him in the Obraztsova tribute at The Bolshoi and apart from a big , over - held high note in Nessun Dorma ( finished with a head -shake which is worryingly out of place, rather than dramatically in context) you have singing which is really distressing.

[@sarahdaniel411]

Very powerful to hear in person. (I sometimes get the feeling he's bored with doing the same roles etc. As though there's more he'd like to do. His Boheme that he designed last fall looked very good.)

[@alga323]

Wow! It is incredibly beautiful.

[@Stanvansandt]

I'm so glad I found this today! Last night I watched the stage production with Borodina and Domingo from 2002 and I was disturbed that she could sing such a beautiful love song while staying completely in character as a venomous, vengeful seductress. She is a very convincing actor! In this clip she comes across as a woman who, at least for a moment, can feel real love for Samson, and I think the aria is all the better for that. There are a lot of disturbing things about that Milan staging, but it really is thought provoking - it's right here on KZbin if you want to check it out.

[@donm7823]

had the privilege to hear these two sing their roles at the Lyric in Chicago -- each bringing uniquely eloquent musical virtue to the music, as well as superbly acted roles. They were Samson and Delilah. I think a parallel for Mme. Borodina was Hedy Lamar's incredible eloquent physical beauty in the film, so it is Mme. Borodina brings that quality tin vocal splendor.
