| Subject: Olga Borodina and "Mon coeur..." From: "Jennifer L. Fretwell" To: VOCALIST <vocalist> Send reply to: VOCALIST <vocalist>
I recently purchased Olga Borodina's CD "Arias" and wanted to comment on how impressed I am with her voice! I am really floored by her rendition of "Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix" - she has such a beautiful, dark, rich sound. I noticed that she sings the optional notes at the end of "Mon coeur" ("Samson...Samson). I have never heard anyone sing this aria with those optional notes at the very end. Olga sings those notes with a wonderful, beautiful, floating style to great effect. Is there a story behind those optional notes in "Mon coeur"? There aren't too many arias with optional notes.
A high lyric mezzo who can only dream of a rich, dramatic voice like Olga's, Jennifer Fretwell mezzo-soprano-at-mindspring.com
