Beautifully sung! The ornamentation is skillfully and tastefully executed and there is no sign of the many bad habits that other countertenors so often fall into. I have heard this piece, in concert, from just about every countertenor of the last 60 years and this is definitely among the finest performances. I’m so glad you posted it!

A gorgeous performance of this aria, technically and emotionally. As always, the most stunning ornamentation. If only the audience could have delayed their applause for just a few more seconds to enjoy this incredible moment. Bravo Mayaan ❤
