Natalie Dessay or Sumi Jo?
Below are two links, one leading to Natalie Dessay and one leading to Sumi Jo. Both are performing "Les Oiseaux dans la Charmille" from the french opera "Les Contes d'Hoffmann."
Which one is better?
YouTube - Contes d'Hoffmann-Les oiseaux... Natalie dessay
or
YouTube - Sumi Jo - Offenbach - Les Contes d'Hoffmann - Doll Song
Personally, I think that Natalie Dessay's voice is more beautiful and pure....not to mention far more dignified.
