Saint-Saëns’ music is decidedly sensual. And Tatia Jibladze, in the role of Dalila, lends her voice a lot of warmth and great volume, not only in the love aria but also when she asserts her position with dramatic tones; it always sounds rounded and full of emotion.

Just like Tatla Jibladze as his counterpart Dalila, whose vocal sensuality really does cover the entire emotional spectrum, from flattering euphony to cold revenge.

Outstanding Tatia Jibladze: Unlike other mezzo-sopranos, she doesn’t overpoweringly traverse the extensive role of Dalila by singing and reciting constantly at maximum volume.
