Good Lord, that was beautiful. The way she so effortlessly does that with her voice - incredible.

@dcofficehack Thanks for the Et Incarrnus clip. She is wonderful. Child soprano-like quality, but with maturity and more vocal control. That out-of-nowhere high C at 4:45 is so effortless (ha, I know better) and the “Magic Flute” runs with the oboe are a delight. LOVE the timbre of the wooden flute and oboe!

@Raptor168 I just watched this and @dcofficehack s clip below as well. She is REALLY good. Is there a full version of it on YT or just these clips? The audio is actually quite good…without too much hall reverb. Thanks for this.

Here’s the whole concert.

I think Julie Fuch’s at her best when she does Mozart, although she seems to favor 19th century French stuff.

But seriously, if you’re not already in love, here’s this. There’s a video of it but for some reason it’s not loading. This at least has the audio recording:

Thanks much.

@TimpTim44 @Raptor168 It’s interesting to compare Fuch’s Et Incarnatus Est with Natalie Dessay’s. Dessay objectively is a better singer. Maybe the best. Yet I enjoy Fuch more, at least in this piece. I think Fuch’s youth translates into an innocence that fits the music more.

Hey, I did have other plans this morning…before I went to this thread. I also prefer
Ms. Fuchs…a lighter quality, tho Ms Dessay’s voice seems to have more body, at least on this recording, and a strong low register.

dcofficehack · October 15, 2021, 3:59pm

That’s right. I’m sure we can make some headphone analogies, with Dessay being the high-end, more capable cans and Fuchs being the less capable, lower-end cans that we nonetheless enjoy more, at least on this particular track.

Found this tonight. Well recorded…and I do like Abbado.

Amazon HD >e30>Asgard 3>DT 880/600 ( hp are 3 weeks old…loving the detail and imaging.)
New laptop…using Edge…do I need to use Chrome to get the picture or is there some other way I can do that? I just copied and pasted the link from YT but all I get is the link showing here.
