Free Music Notes for Anna Netrebko: Opera Arias Album
Free Music Review: Gimme Natalie Dessay instead.
Hit: 2 Stars
Okay, so this is the diva-in-training that's supposed to bring glamour back to opera? Yes, she is beautiful. Shame those hands had to scrub floors; hope she makes it on the cover of Vogue someday. However, she is not the Great New Hope for opera. That voice is not suited for bel canto, or Mozart. She sounds like a new Barbara Frittoli to me. Frittoli, with a dash of Fleming. She has that taffy-pull to her voice, like Fleming, without the heavy portamento and sighing and all those other awful Fleming tricks. The basic color of the voice is interesting, rather dark-hued, but the technique is not quite there, despite the studio producers' best attempts to turbo-charge her high notes.
Sorry, guys, but for romantic French and Italian bel canto reperatoire, I am sticking with Natalie Dessay!
