About This Song

About "Les Contes d'Hoffmann, Act II: Les oiseaux dans la charmille :Chanson de la poupéee (Olympia/Chorus)" by Andre Cluytens

Olympia’s coloratura sparkles like a music box wound too tight, each trill a mechanical bird fluttering against its cage. The chorus murmurs in awe, but Cluytens lets the doll’s charm curdle into something uncanny—perfection so precise it feels inhuman, beautiful and hollow.
