Anyone who feels like some Opera here is a new album from Nathalie Dessay. This collection features Natalie Dessay in five scenes of coloratura by two Italian composers, two French composers, and one satirising American.
In five spectacular coloratura scenes from the 19th and 20th centuries, Natalie Dessay goes beyond the edge of sanity and touches the limits of vocal virtuosity. This collection features Dessay in five scenes of coloratura madness or near-madness — by two Italian composers, two French composers, and one (satirising) American. Soprano characters who go insane are quite a feature of 19th-century opera, providing composers with an opportunity to write virtuosic and often adventurous music to express the wanderings of the poor heroines mind.
