| Pouilly-Fuisse, LOUIS JADOT, Burgundy, France, 2000
Rich, supple and of medium body, this classic expression of Pouilly-Fuisse shows vibrant chardonnay fruit flavors with notes of melon and minerals, gently touched with oak, ending in a fresh, silky finish. |
| Dramatic/ srinto soprano--the 'heaviest' or most darkly-colored of the soprano types. As the name implies, the requirements for this voice type go beyond the lyric repertoire because of the strenuous dramatic demands. In the Italian repertoire, Tosca, Butterfly, Aida, Norma and Leonora (Il trovatore) would be considered dramatic soprano roles. In the German repertoire, Brünnhilde, Sieglinde, Leonore (Fidelio) and Isolde would be considered dramatic soprano roles. The range for the dramatic soprano is generally somewhat lower than the lyric or lyric-spinto, but often she is called upon to sing high passages for dramatic emphasis, making these roles quite strenuous for younger singers. |
