RIP Maestro Michel Legrand. Thank you for sharing your gift with us...

Deux personnes d'une immensité telle........des talents incroyables. Michel Legrand m'aura bercé toute ma vie. Merci

I love how Natalie can sing a non operatic song without having that classical overtones which most opera singers cant get rid of. I hope you understand what i mean many classical trained singers always sound clissically trained when singing a "normal" song but Natalie can switch so easily from one to another, a testiment to her amazing vocal skills.

That was definitely an unusual composition for her. Her incredible voice did not let her down. The piano was absolute perfection.

OMG, this is the most beautiful song I've heard today....

LeGrand and Dessay -- two superlative artists together giving a performance beyond words. No operatic artist has done a crossover like this -- as an operatic artist she is a great interpreter of text and music -- so much as Callas was. Thank you Dearest Natalie

Quelle perfection d'interprétation! Tant d'émotion.... Merci

I would say that this was surprisingly moving, but Dessay has always been a fabulously talented actress who brings the characters she portrays to life. She really made this standard her own.

It continues to astound me that once you hear Streisand perform a song, whatever it may be, there's NO ONE who can do it better.

Quel chanson pleine d’émotions magnifiquement interprétées par Nathalie, et divinement accompagné par Michel Legrand Si il y a des pianistes qui ont la partition de cette version, je suis preneur Repose en Paix Michel, dommage que tu n’ai pas eu un hommage, à la grandeur de tes compositions....

Émouvant ! Merci pour cette moment magnifique. Hommage a mon papa....trop tôt parti au Ciel....

Esta cancion independiente de quien lo cante, definitivamente es la oracion mas hermosa que existe, aquella que sale del corazon y que solo el corazon conoce.. ufff es hermoso esto.. y repito, independiente de quien lo cante

That's what we call an interpretation... ❤️

Oh just beautiful and oh so emotional; one can cry through hearing this!!

"Papa, please! Forgive me!" est magistral ! Vraiment ! J'avais mes doutes sur cette reprise tout en ayant foi en Natalie Dessay, c'était intéressant ! Merci d'avoir prêté voix et musique pour cette chanson si profonde et déchirante !

I can only say: excellent!!!!!!!! Thanks for this energetic message ....

Michel LEGRAND y Natalie DESSAY que deliciosa combinación, un placer disfrutar de su canto, dos hermosas voces.... Mis aplausos para ambos

Un grand moment de grace je reste sans voix devant cette immense chanteuse accompagné ^par un magistral Michel Legrand

Loved it. Can't believe the incredible quality of Ms. Dessay in pretty much everything I've heard her sing. And this is so touching, something quite out of her usual genre. As for the piano interpretation, Michel Legrand is still that..."Grand".

Monsieur Michel Le Grand, indeed! Phenomenal mix of different genres with a great level of sensitivity, in my opinion. :)

Sublime interprétation !

God - our heavenly Father Oh God - and my father Who is also in heaven May the light Of this flickering candle Illuminates the night the way Your spirit illuminates my soul Papa, can you hear me? Papa, can you see me? Papa, can you find me in the night? Papa, are you near me? Papa, can you hear me? Papa, can you help me not be Frightened? Looking at the skies I seem to see a million eyes Which ones are yours? Where are you now that yersterday Has waved goodbye And closed its doors? The night is so much darker. The wind is so much colder The world I see is so much bigger Now that I'm alone Papa, please forgive me Try to understand me Papa, don't you know I had no choice? Can you hear me praying Anything I'm saying Even though the night is filled With voices? I remember ev'rything you thaught me Every book I've ever read Can all the words in all the books Help me to face what lies ahead? The trees are so much taller And I feel so much smaller The moon is twice as lonely And the stars are half as bright Papa, how I love you. Papa, how I need you. Papa, how I miss you Kissing me goodnight

마치 영화처럼 다가오는 음악 입니다. 감사합니다.

I love this version! I LOVE!

Brava Natalie, vous avez un prononciation merveilleuse en anglais. You have wonderful pronunciation in English. Les "h's" sont là. The "h's" are all there. Brava!!

Deeply touching. Beautiful

Just tears....

Wonderfull interpretation!

Hermosa interpretación

Beautiful! Touched my heart ♥

bravo!!! i have no words to say how i loved it/ just wanted to cry

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

fantastic. love you Nathalie

Such a stunning piece

Emozionante, brava!

It's unbelievable fantastic! Brava!

Me encantó su interpretación. Con mucho sentimiento, hermoso!

Her tone quality is BEAST! She sounds like someone in her who's a great vocal technique. Does anyone knows of she has ever written books about voice and vocal tecnique?

Thanks for this beautiful song & voice both 😉👍😍

Natalie, can you hear me? THANK YOU from Malta for this one. Please do something together with Joseph Calleja some day :-)

Beautifully done!

Natalie would be really great conductor. :D

Bavo, bellísimo!

What a genius!!!

cette chanson magnifique fut interprétée par la talentueuse Barbara Stresand

Also good is Jessye Norman with John Williams at the piano.

Wow, I love all the [t]s and how there is no pitch or vowel when she says "papa", just little puffs.

He just has 2 pieces of toast on each sides of his piano lmao

Barbra serait très fier si elle voyait la vidéo c'est super !

Very intense...

Just FYI... a singer gifted with a soaring coloratura soprano instrument is probably not going to have Barbara Streisand's belting powerful voice too. Doesn't work like that, you can't have it all. Therefore you would expect a different interpretation or vibe from Ms Dessay even if she sang this in her younger years, you would have this difference. By the way she has not lost her voice, it is still clear and quite an excellent lyric/coloratura soprano instrument, even if her range is not as free at the edges.

Second chances. "I remember everything you taught me, every book I've ever read. Can all the words in all the books help me to face what lies ahead?"

I'm a huge fan of both Streisand & Dessay. But I always find it hard to like songs opera singers sings when they do cross over, probably because the way they used their voices covering contemporary songs, they don't belt in chest voice, they go straight into head voice when the notes are higher. While Dessay's interpretation is great, full of emotions, I am not getting that same tonal resonance, goosebumps effect that Streisand does so well!

É linda mas ainda não passa a dor e amor verdadeiros. Forçado nas não verdadeiro.

Yes, and why not by an another singer who has voice for this kind of song not so easy ? Furthermore, composed by Michel Legrand who si a good friend oh her too, he likes both Barbra and Natalie. I'm a really great fan of Barbra, but I have listen to Natalie Dessay. She gives a good work and just breath here, doesn't she ? She is a singing actress like she likes talking about her.

la vache....tres belle interprétation pourtant la barre était haute.👏

@Lola Damien, "tratando de llegar al tono agudo de Barbra Streisand"? Lol...This woman is a classical soprano coloratura. Air or high notes aren´t nothing to her.

I am not a professionnal singer, I would not be able to detect the imperfections some seems not to be able to accept. It would be surprising to know this excellent opera singer cannot control well the singing technique. I chose to believe she preferred a more simple and as authentic as possible interpretation.

Simplemente otra cantante más tratando de que se escuche bien. Me esperaba mucho más de una soprano adaptándose a este etilo de música, pero me decepcionó. Dónde quedaron las notas altas de la Streisand en esta voz?

+Loli Damien es evidente que no sabes absolutamente nada sobre Natalie Dessay, te invito a que busques más sobre ella en youtube. Es una soprano ligera coloratura con una larga y brillante carrera que muchas podrían envidiar, las notas altas originalmente no eran nada para ella. Sin embargo tuvo nódulos en la garganta y debido a esto, su voz nunca volvió a ser la misma. Antes de hacer comentarios tan crueles, deberías investigar más.

This is no way near Regine Velasquez version.

Cause you are comparing the greatest non-operatic singers of the 20th century (Streisand) with a very good operatic singer out of the many (Dessay) Streisand is an unrepeatable phenomenon

Evidemment elle chante tres bien. Mais on est loin de la pureté de Barbra Streisand.

Je dois avouer que je m'attendais à mieux venant de Nathalie. L'accent anglais c'est pas encore ça (et ça me gêne personnellement...) et je pensais que ce serait plus léger. Même Lea Michele dans Glee le fait complètement mieux.... Je vous laisse aller écouter ça.

she's giving this her own interpretation. if we wanted Streisand only - then we'd listen to Streisand. Streisand is an original. Beautiful and the clarity and purity and power of her voice during the Yentl years is timeless. This is a good interpretation too by Natalie. A little more soulful and bluesy...Streisand's isn't. It depends on what you're looking for but I think it's a tough song to sing because you have the have the flexibility in your vocal chords to work the scales. I give credit where it's due because I know I can't - especially after vocal surgery!
