sometime as fragile as thin golden silk, sometime it is pouring golden rain, never disappoint, the depth of her artistry and hard work digging into the role, is top gold standard, what a loss to operatic world. True artist.
Even without being a staged production, I love how she just lets herself get lost in the music and the character. Oh, and that control. I love that everything's not just on full blast. Not because she can't, but because she uses it for the right moments. Oh the subtleties she brings to her performances. *swoon*
I think Jessye Norman's version, is truly The Best! She has the perfect voice range for this song. The rich quality and the love, she puts, into it. So beautiful~ 🍃🌹🍃
BARBARA FLORES: You are SO VERY RIGHT. Well, it does "help" that I think exactly the same thing as you do, LOL! Because to me, JESSY NORMAN'S version is also the BEST.
Somehow it's always the sopranos who get all the hype, but for me it's the mezzo that does it! Her MON COEUR S'OUVRE from Samson and Dalilah gives me goosebumps every time! And that lovely Habanera quite late in her career: gorgeous!
I cannot judge her french, but believe that languages must have been a major talent of hers, because as a native speaker I can judge her German and it is fantastic too
@@stefanwild326 amazingly, Jessye Norman never sang in a language she didn’t speak. She was known to speak at least English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Czech
"Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises Faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises Faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?" (John 11: 25,26) RIP Madam
I think this is the clearest rendition of "Habanera" I have ever heard. Every note is emited with the perfect precision which is very, very rare in this aria (listen to admired Elina Garanca, how flat and colourless she is in her rendition available on YT). Maybe the tempo is too slow, which undoubtedly helps with smoothing every single note, but in general the result is amazing. Jessie Norman and Maria Callas are the best performers of this aria. Callas, singing in much faster tempo, is brilliant!
I had the chance to watch this show in a cultural channel in Mexico city a long long time ago, and I've been looking for this for years, cause I love it. It's such a pleasure to see it again. I wish there would be a DVD of this extraordinary artists' performance.
This is just soo beautiful.. i love the song, its such a wonderful song but her voice is so amazing it makes me cry every time. i wish i could see her in person
Anyone else notice how aazong her breath control is here? She sings this at an extraordinarily slow tempo, and still, she breezes straight through points where virtually every other singer (singing at the much faster standard tempo at that) have to pause to take a breath.
Me recordo quando assisti o VHS dessa fabulosa gravação da Carmen. Era, salvo engano, início de 1990. O tempo passa, mas as boas recordações sempre ficam. Descanse em paz Jessye Norman; você fez a diferença!
C'est horrible d'apprendre que Jessye Norman est morte. Mais il faut se considérer heureux d'avoir été ses contemporains et en ce qui me concerne, plus de 40 ans après l'avoir découverte lors d'un concert où elle chantait les 'Quatre Derniers Lieder' de R. Strauss, je me souviens de cette soirée comme de l'un des plus beaux moments de ma vie, quelque chose qui était proche d'un éblouissement. Si le mot 'Diva' a un sens, il le trouve ici, sa présence était constituée d'un art sublime et d'une bienveillance merveilleuse. L'écouter, c'était déjà grandiose mais être charmé(e) par elle était aussi délicieux. Magnifique, magnifique, magnifique Jessye Norman.
Comme cette video rend nostalgique ! Quelle artiste ! Cette voix sublime parfaitement maîtrisée, cette intelligence du texte...et cette diction ! Quel français parfait ! Et c'est émouvant de la voir au côté de Janine Reiss qui travailla aussi avec Maria Callas ! Bravo et merci !
Cómo desciende su tesitura al registro de la mezzo, como frasea, como marca el tiempo, con cuánta facilidad mantiene el color, que mujer más profesional esta.
Gotta eat a big wonderful meal, like a 20 ounce prime rib at Morton's, then come home to pour a glass of 30 year aged brandy, then light a wonderful dark, complex Maduro cigar, say a Comacho Triple Maduro. Sit back, puff bit, sip a bit, and let Diva Norman's equally rich, and complex voice take us away. Now life is good.
I don't understand why all the 3 greats, Norman, Troyanos, and Baltsa decided to do Carmen's arias on the studio albums as very off the voice and breathy and small. They'd NEVER sing it that way on the actual stage. Come on. It works for Pres Des Ramparts but not here.
This really is a glorious voice, lush and rounded with a good accent, but it is just not Carmen. Too slow, a little ponderous and lacking in vivacity, but just as a musical experience, lovely.
@wTrevorh Did you not notice all the microphones around? It's obviously a recording session. Operas are rarely recorded as true live performances for albums. There's almost always a studio recording. Hardly a waste of time...this is magnificent work from all involved!

good video ✌ translation says love is wild bird, litteraly it is rebel : love is a rebel bird... ahaha freedom for birds... ok? translation : if you dont love me, i MAY love you literal french : if you dont love me, i LOVE you ahaha no doubt carmen loves... ¿do you like no doubt to love always? jessye rip om mari peme hung no superstition 😍
wonderful as music and role. my favorite habanera. one has to yield to the music, not looking for the uptempo flash perhaps necessary in a full performance. I think of ravel's 'bolero ', and how he wanted it as slow as possible. music issound, and good sound has texture, like a media in the flow, gripping and pulling the ear into the stream.
Luke 4:20-21 And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. And He began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
It’s remarkable that she can pull of such a restrained mezzo role as excellently as she does here, but I feel like Jessye shines brighter as a Wagnerian soprano-see her O hehrstes Wunder! or her magnificent Dido’s Lament. Jessye as Carmen feels a bit like driving a Rolls Royce in first gear: wonderful and luxurious but with tons of unused power

2 hours into a Jessye Norman rabbit hole - wonderful reminders of why I love love love that voice so much.
She sounds like liquid gold being poured into a gold vase... Spectacularly lovely! Bravo!!!
sometime as fragile as thin golden silk, sometime it is pouring golden rain, never disappoint, the depth of her artistry and hard work digging into the role, is top gold standard, what a loss to operatic world. True artist.
She had such a great tone and her voice was instantly recognizable. Cannot be said for many or most opera singers.
you put my thoughts to words
Even without being a staged production, I love how she just lets herself get lost in the music and the character.
Oh, and that control. I love that everything's not just on full blast. Not because she can't, but because she uses it for the right moments. Oh the subtleties she brings to her performances. *swoon*
Whatever she sang was perfection!

Jessye Norman, you are now in heaven, but your voice remains in our hearts forever.
The angels choir would have signed her up immediately upon her arrival in Heaven.
Somehow it's always the sopranos who get all the hype, but for me it's the mezzo that does it! Her MON COEUR S'OUVRE from Samson and Dalilah gives me goosebumps every time!
And that lovely Habanera quite late in her career: gorgeous!
I love her version mon coeur too! Simple melts me everytime.
Jessye Norman and Seiji Ozawa....my God...I wish if I was there....just in the corner....

Everyone who treasured her artistry should listen, now, to her recording of Strauss' Four Last Songs.
Yes. Yes. Powerful!
Rest in peace, our beautiful songstress, our fortress, our Queen. Vita Brevis, Ars Longa.
Look how the guy directly behind her gazes at her and shakes his head in awe at her brilliance!! That's priceless!
Together with Callas she's one of the rare sopranos who can ding this right, in mezzo register, thanks to her specific voice. Well donne, Jessye!
Her French accent is very good!
According to French commentators on other UA-cam videos, her French is perfect!
Jessye could have sung more mezzo roles. Also, her French is excellent.
P.S.: The above video contains only half of the aria.
I cannot judge her french, but believe that languages must have been a major talent of hers, because as a native speaker I can judge her German and it is fantastic too
@@stefanwild326 amazingly, Jessye Norman never sang in a language she didn’t speak. She was known to speak at least English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Czech
This is from 1989, Jessye Norman is joined by tenor Neil Shicoff, with the Orchestre National de France led by Seiji Ozawa.
What a sensual, beautiful, thoughtful rendition.
The heavens gained a wonderful voice in their angel's choir
"Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises Faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises Faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?" (John 11: 25,26) RIP Madam

I love Jessye. I love Renee. More to mention, but I will admit that La Divina... Maria C. inspired great singers such as these.
Songelosodelzefiro I've found out that Christa Ludwig did Carmen albeit German. She's also quite the contender for those two!
El m
Tatyana Troyanos for me - with Solti conducting, Domingo as Jose and Kiri te Kanawa as Michaela - the best recording of Carmen bar none.
I had the chance to watch this show in a cultural channel in Mexico city a long long time ago, and I've been looking for this for years, cause I love it. It's such a pleasure to see it again. I wish there would be a DVD of this extraordinary artists' performance.

I love Jessye's voice. And this Mr. Ozawa looked very young and cute in white!

Gorgeous. Also the chorus sounds rich and beautiful.
Rest in peace, Jessye Norman
Слушать и наслаждаться! 👍👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
Comment pouvait-elle chanter aussi bien dans un français parfait !Absolutely Splendid!

Du velours pour la passion.

Absolutely beautiful omg !
A queen, a priceless treasure.
Rest easy beloved, we will listen for all Time
Your beautiful voice, gone too soon Requiescat in Pace
I know absolutely no feench and could only read the subtitles and this was my first time hearing this song and this singer and I was just amazed.

I hope she enjoys a little dancing and a couple of drinks with her old friend Lillas Pastia.
Does anyone happen to have the whole rehearsal? This is impressive.
There is a whole recording - I had it on a CD in the 90s

I found that the slow tempo raises the sensuality of the music. Which makes it even more Carmen than usual.

Why Seiji Ozawa is so good to bring his female singers Jessye Norman and Frederica Von Stade at the top of the perfection ?
C'EST MAGNIFIQUE.
J'ai la chaire de poule!
Jessye Norman, Ozawa, Bizet, no better than this.

L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,
S'il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n'y fait, menace ou prière.
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait.
Et c'est l'autre que je préfère,
Il n'a rien dit mais il me plaît.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!
L'amour est enfant de bohème;
Il n'a jamais, jamais, connu de loi.
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime,
Et si je t'aime, prends garde à toi!
Prends garde à toi!
Si tu ne m'aimes pas, si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime!
Prends garde à toi!
Mais si je t'aime, si je t'aime, prends garde à toi!
L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola.
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;
Tu ne l'attends plus, il est là!
Tout autour de toi, vite, vite,
Il vient, s'en va,…
She is so wonderful - a beautiful soprano. :)🌷
Классная Джесси! Монументальная Джесси!
Adore you Ms. Norman.
Wow, I have just found out about this lady today, Incredible Music. I absolutely love this !
L'Espagne, la France, le Japon, et derrière Jessye l'Amérique et surtout l'Afrique. Indépassable...!!!
Une diction parfaite en français ! Elle est délicieuse ❤

@wTrevorh NONSENSE! This is truly a masterpiece!
