Olga Borodina - Samson et Dalila - Printemps qui commence video free download

Matthew Mosca

Your opinion is well founded, however, Borodina and Gergiev maintain just enough of the pulse, while emphasizing the suspension of time that S-S creates. Borodina has the ability and sense of "authority" in this role (her favorite as she has stated in interviews) to accomplish this. You should also avoid Jessye Norman's "Mon Coeur..." which is stupendous, sinister and very slow! Recommended for everyone else!

I adore Borodina..but Callas brought to this aria a certain kind of vulnerability that most don't find in the character of Dalila....after all, Dalila did love Samson but she was controlled by politics. Callas brings a kind of faltering quality to Dalila's music. A feeling that at any moment, she can give into her true love. But she cannot...that is the tragedy that Callas understood.

@StarRaft I completely desagree :) The voice of Maria was unique, and very particular...Olga here is wonderful, and in her own répertoire....

Amazing voice , beautiful aria of Dalila. Borodina did very good job

StarRaft

@muatlas you are right. callas never had the gorgeous tone that borodina has. callas was an amazing singer, but a beautiful voice she did not have.

muatlas

Cannot be compared to Callas's performance, but quite beautiful none-the-less.

The greatest Dalila of our time, SHE can take it this slow- how mesmerizing it is! Is that Gergiev on the podium I think?. SO gorgeous you just don't want it to ever end!

She IS Dalila....if I were Samson of course I'd fall for her every time!!!

@ShamusMacGuffin "Fabulous" is the appropriate word even though I think there are not enough superlatives to describe my supreme idol's art. About Callas and Ponselle, I read somewhere that being in New York in her prime youth, Maria used to listen to the radio broadcast performances of Rosa, her ear stuck on the radio ?

after sigrid onegin, borodina is my favorite dalila.... sublimely beautiful. ya this tempo is a bit too sloooww.

PonselleLover

One of the all time most voluptuous mezzo voice. I had the luck to hear her from the start of her international career and I'm happy that my country gave her very early recognition.

What a magnificent rendition of this glorious aria- this is a great opera- and Borodina has said she was born to sing this role. Brava. Also, listen to the extraordinary Mon Coeur with Jessye Norman- astonishing.
