What technique ... what sheer beauty of the voice ... and the expression heartbreaking ... listen to the nuances she sings in this aria and its repeats ... no other singer does this as good
Lungs of steel! She would breathe with her whole body, enabling her to carry long phrases, at slow, highly effective tempos. Check out her Et Incarnatus Est, with Bernstein, in Mozart's c minor mass!
Ora intendo perché l'arme vestì; crudei, spergiuro! di lui, di or farne vendetta io giuro. Ah! mio cor! schernito sei! Stelle! Dei! Nume d'amore! Traditore! T'amo tanto; puoi lasciarmi sola in pianto, oh dei! perché? Ma, che fa gemendo Alcina? Son reina, è tempo ancora: resti o mora, peni sempre, o torni a me.
OK, note to stage manager/music director: ditch the feathers worn in Alcina's headdress. They do nothing at all, except to distract one's attention from this magnificent aria. My attention in this video was drawn to the waving feathers, rather than the superb singing/music. It's a case in which the visual overtakes the original intention, which I presume is the music written by the composer and then interpreted on stage by the singers.
She’s brilliant. But what is this ridiculous accompaniment? This heartbreaking aria sounds so light weight with pizzicato in the bass, which is not marked in the score
Очень проникновенное исполнение. Жаль,что этой певицы уже нет в живых.очень красивый тембр голоса.
Господи, как же прекрасна музыка Генделя. Какая грусть, слезы льются. ❤❤❤Эту арию то же очень хорошо поет Натали Штутцман ❤
Verdaderamente una artista excepcional. Nunca la olvidaremos, Sra. Augér.
Glorious Arleen Auger, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century.
"Stupefacente"!!!... e senza bisogno di ricetta medica. "Dell'arte il fin è la maraviglia" (Giambattista Marino).
Love, love, love! I loved her that she never stress her throat unlike many other singers. Keeps silver thin thread vocal lines.
What technique ... what sheer beauty of the voice ... and the expression heartbreaking ... listen to the nuances she sings in this aria and its repeats ... no other singer does this as good
Deeply moving and tecnhnically perfect at the same time. Arleen Auger is wonderful. Thank you
The best Alcina I ever listend to ... love her
One of the greatest singers who has ever lived that a lot of people have never heard about or from!
I never did! u are right but her interpretation is superbe
Perfection .. I always return to her...
I agree; my absolute favorite. Such a powerful yet sensitive voice and personality. Dearly missed after a her passing away too early.
The best Alcina :)
She had a gorgeous easy voice. Beautiful.
Magnificent and touching performance!
Absolutely wonderful- how did she manage to sing so beautifully at such a slow tempo? Magnificent-she died far too soon.
Lungs of steel! She would breathe with her whole body, enabling her to carry long phrases, at slow, highly effective tempos. Check out her Et Incarnatus Est, with Bernstein, in Mozart's c minor mass!
Wow, loved it. Simplemente me encanto❤❤❤❤❤
La meraviglia assolutamente. Ti adoro o mia regina Arlene
And to think there are people out there who criticize Augér for being inexpressive. Balderdash!
Now this is singing. Beautiful
Many many thanks for uploading this. Arleen Auger is simply the very best. No doubt; no competition
Indeed!
Still the best
Divina Arleen!!

Ora intendo perché l'arme vestì;
crudei, spergiuro!
di lui, di or farne vendetta io giuro.
Ah! mio cor! schernito sei!
Stelle! Dei!
Nume d'amore!
Traditore!
T'amo tanto;
puoi lasciarmi sola in pianto,
oh dei! perché?
Ma, che fa gemendo Alcina?
Son reina, è tempo ancora:
resti o mora,
peni sempre, o torni a me.
After the perfection, mostly unexpected from the composer, is the imperitura voice. As you are. I love you for ever. You give my life better
For me? Best interpretation from far!!!
Marvelous.
No words to say. Never will happen after
Perfection!!!!!!
Brava!
Arleen Auger es ahora inmortal como Handel
Un giorno, dopo questa interpretazione. Niente
Great♥️
Ah, mio core...
Why can't this be available for purchase instead of 50 shades of Handel :/
She is serving high DRAMA!! LMAO

Un'aria particolarmente ricca di sentimento, a tratti compresso, a tratti esibito. L'interpretazione è veramente fantastica.
