Une très belle femme, une diva musicienne.

Puis je l'ai suivie à Florence, Rome, etc. Puis en concert et de nouveau sur scène à Paris (Didon et Enée) Quelle femme, quelle voix!
I love the story she once told about the encouragement she received from her hometown pastor. He told her to pursue a career in opera not only because he knew she could do it but also because he knew she should do it.
I did not know this anecdote/story.there must be so much i still do not know about her. I was Lucky to see/hear her 3 times between 16 and 24 year of age.
Jessye, Jessye, Jessye, how I loved you! As a mezzo soprano, you were my best technical teacher. Can hardly believe that you, a little girl in segregated Georgia, grew into an astonishingly talented, multilingual powerhouse of an artist. ❤ I thank God for you.
Usually I don't cry with Opera, but her flawless technique and the expressions on her face and just how she just floats thru the phrases with such conviction. My goodness. I've never seen such a flat tongue in my life! She was such a force. May she rest in peace.
I WEEP EVERY TIME I WATCH. Thank God we were allowed to live while she was breathing and gave all that God equipped her to empower the world of arts with.
Her acting. Her singing. Her interpretation of the works of dead men. She brings life to them and into her hearers. I am left speechless wrestling back control. She imprinted the depth of her gifts on us in a way that seems as the impression of the hand of the Divine. I am left shaken and hopeful.
Divine, transcendent...you'd never know how incredibly difficult this aria is technically. Few, if any, sopranos could approach this piece and triumph like this. While we're at it though, let's give another brava for the really fantastic and sensitive conducting of Dame Jane Glover. If you watch the whole concert the rapport between the two of them was truly special. Now off to listen to more Jessye...probably the Four Last Songs. (ps. thanks to all of you keeping this music alive, sharing it and celebrating this truly incomparable artist. I don't have many folks in my life who appreciate opera, this would be lost on them, so it's nice to 'come here' and chat with all of you!)
One of the great joys of life was being in her company and speaking to her face to face, once, just for a few seconds, after a concert I got her autograph. A treasured memory.
BREATHTAKING ! Jessye handles the melismatic lyrics by her legato delivery, ending stronger than one could suspect. This is immortality. (Thanks to the poster for a better quality video.)
She came backstage to La Cage in 85 & a cabbie who worked for the same cab company as my partner came to pick me up. Instead she got it & he said she was polite. She posed for photos with the Cagelles & other cast members. She was real nice.
she was not only a brilliant and genius singer, but she was a great Actor. The way her face shapes to the love, confusion, sorrow and finally ire, is a testament to her talent. Rest in Power, the Great Jessye Norman. Thank u for posting this in HQ 🤍
She was a great ACTRESS, in English. In Italian the word is ATTRICE. In both French and Spanish the word is "ACTRICE. In German the word is SCHAUSPIELERIN. Males, respectively, are ATTORE, ACTEUR AND SCHAUSPIELER. All languages have words DISTINGUISHING this difference in gender. Culture-cancel freaks in the media promote destroying these long held type of DISTINGUISHING differences. Respectfully🙂
French language is undeniable her best choice for singing.Great phrasing and retenutto del discorso mysical is perfect in her attack to this famous aria.Pity her oremature death.We are lacking her divine pressence and artmastering her singing
I saw her in concert in Paris in the mid 80's... she greated some fans after... at the time she was in the news having a dispute with her record company. I asked her about it, and she gave a big laugh. She was gone way too early. R.I.P.
Just love her little smiles she gives during the performance….bravo Jessye. God must be delighted to have you home in his Angelic choir, but our very sad loss. RIP Jessye, we love and miss you still…you were just incredible both as a singer and performer. No one else can touch you , just amazing,bless you 💐🙋♀️💕😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She was just a class act. The voice of course was always stunningly beautiful, but her stage presence and the way she held character so long at the end, then broke into acknowledgement of applause was sublime. RIP Jessye. Brava!!!
Колоратура-это орнаментика ,украшение. Была распространена в период барокко. Расцвечивали свои партии даже басы. Не надо ассоциировать способ демонстрации вокальной техники с голосом колоратурное сопрано. А партия Далилы для меццо сопрано.
It was the hand towards the hip for me 😭 … (or maybe a breath support que to her body) @2:57 on that long azz note that kept moving with such purpose ..to seemingly no end! … like she dug deep and meant that .. 😭 The colours, the audacity and boldness to be this free and paint the song with every brush of her instrument…my gosh Rapturous, Rich , Whelming , Enthralling, Spine Shifting…
Gosh she was wonderful! I saw her in Die Wälkure and a few other operas over the years. Also at Zellerbach in Berkeley Ca for a memorable concert. She was riveting from the moment she walked on stage. Truly a most wonderful singer, actress, and presence!
La intensidad emocional de su interpretacion,la fuerza expresiva de sus gestos y su gran presencia escenica ,su poderosa y bellísima voz hacen de esta aria una verdadera joya.
Absolutley...beautiful! My favorite version, of this aria. I love her, rich voice. O ne of the 'true-greats' among the 'real' Opera-Diva's. Still trying to find this on one of, Jessye Norman's, cd's. One of my very-favorites, among Grand Opera. RIP Jessye Norman, with love. Fr: So. California, USA 2022
The music of st Saens has allaying been underrated or ignored. It shouldn’t be.
Eddig én is inkább "szalonszerzőnek" értékeltem, különösebb művészi érték nélkül! De hát ilyen előadás után most mit gondoljak?
That was not music. That was art.
Music should be art😅😊
French passion is art 😊
Music is art, so...
They're both
That's What Camille saint saëns did .....Art
Phenomenal ! I can’t believe she is gone , one of the last true great opera Diva’s !
The cameraman and producer were in so much awe that they filmed just her face for 5 minutes straight without any cuts.
This performance alone would qualify her for the hall of the greatest singers ever.
I surrendered to you the first time I ever heard you Ms Norman ❤ youll forever be missed ❤❤❤
Probably one of the best interpretations of this famous gorgeous Arias in all of Opera !
certamente o melhor e incomparável
Lady Jessie Norman was fluent in many languages .Just wanted to say. This adding to her huge Intelligence makes her more than Just a Diva ❤
So comforting to the ear and to the heart to hear French pronounced as it should be! A brilliant vocal actress!
That transition at 6:15 minute is otherworldly. EXQUISITE!
Who could resist surrender to this Majestic woman?!❤️🔥
If you lived for a thousand years you would never hear it done better. Not by anyone. Not ever.
Not EVER! THIS WOMAN WAS THE BEST AT EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHED
Well said!

In tears... what a performance!
Here the ambivalent love of Deliah for Samson is well expressed with her face. Brava!
Usually I don't cry with Opera, but her flawless technique and the expressions on her face and just how she just floats thru the phrases with such conviction. My goodness.
I've never seen such a flat tongue in my life! She was such a force. May she rest in peace.
I know her tongue is always soooo flat. I have tired this and failed
I saw her sing this aria live was only piano accompaniment and I was bawling through out the whole thing . EXQUISITE!!
Amen...
I WEEP EVERY TIME I WATCH. Thank God we were allowed to live while she was breathing and gave all that God equipped her to empower the world of arts with.
I saw here sing this live in recital in Philadelphia, I was a crying mess. Absolutely sublime!
Oh, I am so glad I am not the only one weeping!
That ending sent chills down my spine. What a voice. What a legend. Incredible artist. Brava.
If the aim of art is to convey emotions, this is jet fuel. It burns hot in less than one second.
Her acting. Her singing. Her interpretation of the works of dead men. She brings life to them and into her hearers. I am left speechless wrestling back control. She imprinted the depth of her gifts on us in a way that seems as the impression of the hand of the Divine. I am left shaken and hopeful.
She's completely immersed.
She is absolutely my favourite all time opera singer. No one can match her.
!!!!¼ĺpp
I agree wholeheartedly! Just a breathtakingly heartfelt connection of song and artist...
Stunning
Magistral! Bravo, madame Jessye ❤👏👏👏
Full of risks and brilliant successes! We miss you, Ms. Jessye.
Truly outstanding. Brava Jessye!
The end ... much resembles the Je t'aime of the tenor aria La Fleure che tu m'avais jetez by Charles Biset's Carmen.

It's divinity pure and simple 'sometimes there is god so quickly' - Tennessee Wiliams
French really is the language of love. (I think also of the magnificence of Pearlfishers duet). Brava Jessye😎
One has to admit, this is perfection. Sweet Jesus
She turns the aria into a mini drama. Absolutely riveting. No singer today has this level of charisma.
Not one
@@leshaundaShirley Verrett came close if not achieved it totally also.
The colouring of her voice is godly! Brava Diva
Невероятная самоотдача! Огромное эстетическое удовольствие!
Perfect technique, perfect diction, perfect breath control, perfect colouring, perfect phrasing - just perfect in every way. Trully astonishing Jessye ❤️❤️
BREATHTAKING ! Jessye handles the melismatic lyrics by her legato delivery, ending stronger than one could suspect. This is immortality. (Thanks to the poster for a better quality video.)
6:11 min......in one single breath......my God....she was so amazing!!!!
Building the tension, and that pianisimo......sigh.
That was amazing! Goosebumps every time!
This art and voice makes life worthwile and. Gives humanity its soul
Unforgettable
She came backstage to La Cage in 85 & a cabbie who worked for the same cab company as my partner came to pick me up. Instead she got it & he said she was polite. She posed for photos with the Cagelles & other cast members. She was real nice.
This, surely, is one of my favorite arias and Miss Norman sings it magnificently eternal.
From the moment La Norman walks out until the earth-shattering final note, she holds the audience in thrall. Hypnotic. Sublime.
Yes, you never knew where she was going to take you, the audience was captivated
she was not only a brilliant and genius singer, but she was a great Actor. The way her face shapes to the love, confusion, sorrow and finally ire, is a testament to her talent. Rest in Power, the Great Jessye Norman.

Diva of Divas! No one! But Jessie Norman!
Jessaye at the top of her form-that voice! That technique! That diction! That presence! The Incomprable one in all her greatness and beauty.
Ça me rends fière d'être francophone
And the audience goes insane! Fabulous!
Every time I watch this I cannot stop repeating it. What a performance!!!
right? 😁♥
UNREAL
I love the conductor 😅
Extraordinary rendition of this moving arie.thank you for sharing it
Always a pleasure to hear her voice and watch her art in the interpretation
Absolutely entrancing. Her ability to transport us to the scene is probably what they mean when they say to us “time travel”.
Ninguém jamais cantará essa música que possa superar essa interpretação
She takes you all, the voice creates a world and takes you with her. That last part was divine.
She was just a class act. The voice of course was always stunningly beautiful, but her stage presence and the way she held character so long at the end, then broke into acknowledgement of applause was sublime. RIP Jessye. Brava!!!
This is not coloratura, period. It doesn't diminish the fact that Jessye Norman was just stupendous!
who said it was a coloratura? 😢
@@ThisisColoratura Use your eyes.

The ultimate diva!
Her use of colours is pure magic.
Pure diva. Diva. Diva! ❤❤❤
Yes , i love this area ,I had never heard her singing it before , she is FORMIDABILE.
6:17-6:24 is the most stunning moment, incredible breath control absolutely gorgeous
my one and only sprano...you will be always my only one deliah... i love you jessi...rest in peace
Que fantástica interpretação. Parece uma eternidade em outro tempo. E as suas expressões faciais tão profundas.
UNA DIOSA...! No puedo creer la belleza de tonos y coloratura que emana... me bajan las lagrimas..
We miss you, Jessye! 💐
Her performance brings tears to my eyes - a hard bitten opera fan!! She is a goddess.
She is Beyond the Beyond !!!!❤
WOW. All I can say, is wow. THIS is art. Not only the singing, but expressions. At 7:10 I think I can spot she sheads a tear. Simply amazing❤😢
Magnificent ❤❤❤
EXTRAORDINAIRE !
i will always remember her
Good God! Can this be beyond perfection...? Is there such a thing?
БОЖЕ! КАКАЯ КРАСОТА!!!!!! КАКАЯ ДАЛИЛА!!! ЦАРСТВО НЕБЕСНОЕ ДЖЕССИКЕ!!!!
It was the hand towards the hip for me 😭 … (or maybe a breath support que to her body) @2:57 on that long azz note that kept moving with such purpose ..to seemingly no end! … like she dug deep and meant that .. 😭
The colours, the audacity and boldness to be this free and paint the song with every brush of her instrument…my gosh
Rapturous, Rich , Whelming , Enthralling, Spine Shifting…
Yes yes and yes 🙏🏾
Как она прекрасно вышла с роли, какой голос, брависсимо! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bellísima música y bellísima interpretación sublime 👋
Grazie per tanta bellezza 🙏🌹❤️
Jessye forever!
이 절절한 표정,
영혼을 쥐어짜는듯한 소리,
혼신의 울림이 가득한 노래,
온갖 그리움과 소망이
응축된 메시지
삼손이 이 애절한 노래에
어찌 안 넘어갈 수 있겠는가 !

Gosh she was wonderful! I saw her in Die Wälkure and a few other operas over the years. Also at Zellerbach in Berkeley Ca for a memorable concert. She was riveting from the moment she walked on stage. Truly a most wonderful singer, actress, and presence!

She was larger than life. Beautiful, powerful, mesmerising.
