 Rating:  - DIVA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What more can I say about this wonderful singer ? Cristaline voice , effortless performances ........ Really divine !!! Rating:  - Has some good moments but overall just so-soMy biggest complaint is the inclusion of several versions of the same aria. This may be OK for hearing once, but is not something I want to hear every time I play the DVD. Dessay sings well (sometimes very well) but some of the supporting cast seem bored.

I would not be surprised to see her in some future production singing rapturously even if she were being fired from a cannon's mouth or parachuting from an airplane. If there are flaws in her performances, I would say they are two. First of all, to my ear hers is not a perfect instrument.

This compilation beautifully documents her first ten years on the stage, and is an excellent introduction to her considerable talents. The only, even remote problem with the DVD is that the scenes are in no discernable order--I'd have preferred them to be chronological. Her early performances (tracks 1,5,7,9) are excellent, restrained but not stiff. She really hits her stride in the mid-90's (tracks 3,12,13), bringing warmth and a superb comic sense to the roles. The remaining tracks showcase one of the world's best singers at her peak, and prove that she's as good with a dramatic role as with a comic one. I particularly ... Read More: |
