@Berliner Stadtschloss Not EVERY performance needs to be done in full concert dress, their attire isn't "stupid" for a recording session. If you're under those stage lights and standing up for hours, things get tiring. Don't knock it till you try it, trust me. I've nearly fainted in my concert attire plenty of times, and would take jeans and a sweater over a floor length dress any day!

The first time I heard this was about 25 yrs ago. It was a cloudy cold late November day. I was driving my car and turned on the radio. A very light fluffy snow started coming down ever so gently. The snow flakes were the size of quarters and seemed to defy gravity. It was so surreal just witnessing this weather phenomenon. Then this duet started to chime in. The two sinced together at the same time. It was what I would equate to a religious experience. My heart was taken back. Something in the ethereal world had placed me in the moment to witness both the weather and the music dancing together as one. I’ll never forget that day.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. It transcends time and space. We’re so fortunate to have the ability to rewatch this at our leisure.

Since I first heard this Duet, I listen to it every day because it reminds me of my Mother who passed away in 2018. She worked at the Croatian National Theater as a cleaner, but she took me with her every time there was an opera or play on the schedule. I have seen a lot of operas and plays in that theater, but I have never heard such a good "Duet"...❤

The balance is exquisite -- it's so easy for the soprano to dominate in this duet, but here she is playing the character, not just singing the aria, and lets the mezzo through. Superb musicianship, and a true duet partner. Her tone and delivery of 'bleu' just before the reprise of the chorus for the last time takes my breath away every time. Stunning singing. And Marianne Crebassa is the perfect foil, authoritative without dominating, supporting the soprano line and allowing her to float it effortlessly without having to compete. Roth supports them sensitively, and the period ensemble make it intimate. I think they knew they had it in the bag after this take

To me, this looks like a rehearsal.

Without introduction or fanfare, I played this video on the big screen for my 3rd grade students. There were a few giggles and rolled eyes but, as the piece continued, my students saw how special this recording was to me. The following day I played it again, this time with some biographical info on the singers and opera in general. There were no giggles. The following day I played it once more. The children (8 yrs old) shared smiles with me and each other during each chorus. On the 4th day, at the library, the children insisted that we share the piece with our librarian. The children introduced the song to her, named the singers and gave a brief summary of the story. When the music began, there was not a fidget, wiggle, or sound in the room except for the sublime music they had come to love. ps They also love Ella Fitzgerald and Esmeralda Spalding. :-) but not like they love this duet.

Air. Softened tone. Playful calibration of volume and rythmic agility. Crisp diction and sustained lines without strain and unnecessary bravura. Sheer palpable joy of singing that music and playing it together is a marvel of musicality. Am I dreaming? No. That is just a group of really and fully engaged musicians that are in love with material. Kudos to conductor François-Xavier Roth and his orchestra Les Siècles - for creation the hypnotic sonic atmosphere that evokes the trance-like state of suspended reality in listener. A lot of singers do that duet for its obvious beauty. But to make it anew to glow and shimmer in warm burnished tones - that requires a special sensibility and possession of means to express it. These two marvellous ladies stands out from the crowd of many even famous performers that took this duet on. Sabine Devieilhe & Marianne Crebassa seem to win it. That unshowy commited to music attitude is a rarity at any time anywhere. Mesmerizing sensuos sonic experience that uniqely delivered by engagement of all of this duet's performers - is the evidence of their artistic commitment. It's a good enough reason to be grateful for the opportunity of being transported for 6 minutes to something that closely resembles outer spheres. Merci, merci, merci...

this is the result of two magnificent singers not trying to outperform each other but letting each other shine. and shine they do!

I have heard so many versions of this duet and this is by far the best.

Ещё раз убеждаюсь, что голос - это такой же инструмент, как скрипка или любой другой!!! Браво певицам!!! Настоящий дуэт, брависсимо!!!

Their voices fit so perfectly together. I can't believe how perfect this sounds. How does it sound so perfect?

This is BY FAR the best version I've ever heard. Far too often, the soprano overwhelms the mezzo to the point where you can hardly hear her. In this performance, both voices can be heard clearly and they meld together perfectly, without one drowning out the other.

In MOST performances of this aria, the soprano completely overpowers the mezzo to the point where you can hardly hear her. In this one, the singers are in perfect balance, like they're having a conversation, not one trying to outdo the other!

Oh mon Dieu! what beauty! This brought tears to my eyes, once again. When my son was 5 years old, this part of the opéra played on Arte TV here in France, while he was playing with his toys. He stopped, let his toys go and dropped to his knees in front of the TV, and just stayed mesmerized by the music... It was just an heavenly moment and since then, every time I hear that part of the opera, I just cry with tears of joy...
