style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years ago this month, the world lost the great French soprano Mady Mespl\u00e9 at the age of 89. Celebrated as the finest French coloratura of her era (and one of the best examples ever of that dying breed), Mespl\u00e9 was officially diagnosed in 1996 with Parkinson\u2019s, which had already gravely affected her health for years. For me there is a personal connection here, as next week it is eleven years since my own father died of the same disease. The focus this week, however, is on not on Mespl\u00e9\u2019s disease, but her extraordinary vocalism, musicianship, and versatility. Not only was she unmatched in the operatic repertoire for which she was justly celebrated, she was also a mistress of the <em>m\u00e9lodie<\/em>, a charming interpreter of French operetta, and a fearless interpreter of contemporary repertoire. This episode examines her contributions in all of those genres, as well as celebrating her delicious expressions of musical humor, and her surprising depth, even profundity, in examining the darker recesses of human experience. On this episode, Mespl\u00e9 is aided by fellow singers Gabriel Bacquier, Michel Dens, Jane Berbi\u00e9, Alain Vanzo, and Michel Trempont; pianists Aldo Ciccolini, Jeanine Reiss, Dalton Baldwin, Gabriel Tacchino, and Michel Legrand; and conductors Georges Pr\u00eatre, Pierre Dervaux, Michel Plasson, Jean-Pierre Marty, Gilbert Amy, and Jean-Claude Hartemann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the link to Mespl\u00e9\u2019s extraordinary late-career live performance of Francis Poulenc and Jean Cocteau\u2019s harrowing monologue, <em>La Dame de Monte-Carlo<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/r6QwlvlonRo\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/r6QwlvlonRo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"516\" height=\"888\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/In-Costume.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/In-Costume.jpg 516w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/In-Costume-174x300.jpg 174w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambroise Thomas, Jules Barbier, Michel Carr\u00e9 (after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe): Je suis Titania la blonde (<em>Mignon<\/em>).
