I said I wanted to hear more from Stéphanie d'Oustrac; and this
clip is one of the first I came across. Of course she's sung a lot of real French
music, and a lot her performances can be found on YouTube. But here is
something that couldn't be much more
different than her recent appearances as Orphée.
Duetting with her is the (unknown to me) tenor Philippe Do, who sounds like
he's worth searching out, too.
Singing the Merry Widow
outdoors seems to be a very European thing to do. Right on the same page as the
above video (thank you, YouTube, for being one of the biggest time sinks in my
life) is this performance from Hanna-Elisabeth Müller (seen recently in Munich with very big hair as
Servillia) and Martin Mitterrutzner (noted previously in this blog.) Could they be any more charming?
