The most pure, truth and beauty performance of this piece. Joyce was meant to sing this...the world is better for it and has entered the harbour - thank you Joyce and G.F.Handle...Heaven sent.
Forse la migliore interprete di Handel a livello mondiale,in un'epoca in cui oltre alla capacità del vibrato era indispensabile la potenza vocale,gli amplificatori non esistevano ancora. Bravissima.
L'ARIODANTE di Anne Sofie VON OTTER per la pregevole direzione di Mark Minkwski resta per me insuperabile ; in tutto, musicalità, grazia e carattere del personaggio. Laddove DI DONATO - qui, all'apice della sua carriera - canta Ariodante, VON OTTER lo incarna fino al midollo. Tra l'altro, la stessa Di Donato anni dopo l'edizione di Minkowski (con lo strepitoso Polinesso di Ewa Podles) non troverà di meglio che registrare una nuova edizione, di cui francamente non si sentiva la mancanza, "dietta", per cosi' dire, da Alan Curtis, celebre per la sua totale incompetenza in materia.

AND - it's not easy to sing this sitting down! That's a real professional. She even carried on with Rosina at Covent Garden with a broken leg. But you can tell - she lives for this music. Nothing can stop her singing! A complete joy!
That's why she's grabbing onto the seat with her hands. It's helping her project her voice since she doesn't have her feet on the ground. Many people don't realize that for singers of this calibre, the sound is created from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head. The entire body is involved.
Haendel had a habit to compose now and then completely original pieces that nobody before or after did. This piece f.i. is completely timeless. Far exceeds in expression every other composer from Monteverdi to Wagner. Haendel was truly avant garde from time to time. Which is the right way to be avant garde...
Quellle époustouflante performance. Une bête de scène digne des grandes stars du rock le plus endiablé. Merci Haendel d'avoir offert cette partition aux siècles à venir.
A voice with real heft, warmth, and colour: not something one takes for granted in singers of this repertoire! The coloratura isn't the last word in smoothness...but how alive and present it all is! Kudos for the imaginative variation of the reprise.
Very a lot of good!!! Exceptional I use some diaphragm! Very difficult piece performed very well with excellent vocal technique!!! Compliments Joyce DiDonato!!! I add 5 * * * * * Valerio
I'll hear Ariodante with JDD together with M-N Lemieux and K Gauvin under Curtis on Friday in Baden-Baden. This will be the music highlight of 2011 for me. :-)
She takes more liberties with the 2nd part A than any other singer I've heard. For the most part, she made good choices. It's a little bit like a hire wire act.
@Gudrun74 With Händel, both Rousset and McCreesh are very dear to me (but Rousset beats McCreesh with everything else, in my opinion. His Mozart is the best I ever heard). About Curtis............ Most of the times he's a big no no for me... His Vivaldi Ercole is.... boring. And I just can't understand how someone can make Vivaldi get boring.
@Gudrun74 Hey Gudrun, Raphael told me about Marijana when I saw him in Berlin... I'm so sad for I was hoping the bad times were over, just as you. Are you coming to paris for Teseo? You definitely should :)

Ever heard the expression "sit and sing"?. THIS is the GOLD standard for that. THE BEST sit and sing I have EVER heard!.
6 and a half minutes of mind-blowing vocal gymnastics, yet somehow Joyce makes it look and sound almost completely effortless!!!!. 🤯
Unfaßbar!!!!! Wie ist solch ein Koloraturen-Singen nur möglich. Joyce die Donato ein absolutes Phänomen!!! Danke für das Hochladen
The most amazing mezzo I have ever heard and age 90 I have heard a lot of them.
Joyce is perfect in any situation! With broken leg she performs wonderful! Brava,Joyce!💖
This is one of the most exciting and brilliantly sung versions of this aria .. EVER!!!!!!!!!! BRAVISSSSSSSSIMMMMAAAAA!!!
She is just great, I have been listening and studying Handel for decades and I am sure this is the best Ariodante I have heard.

Unbelievable nostalgic sounds! Thanks ladies and gentleman!!!

The only singer in 70 years who has even approached [and met I think] the greatness of Dame Janet Baker in this music. Brava Joyce!!!
I do agree. Dame Janet is greatest singer of this aria, but I think Joyce D is up there with her. Two supreme artists.
Un grandissimo talento.
11 out of 10. I am in heaven!
Quellle époustouflante performance. Une bête de scène digne des grandes stars du rock le plus endiablé. Merci Haendel d'avoir offert cette partition aux siècles à venir.
Bravo!!! 💐💐💐Can't stop listening,!!! My favourite version of this aria!
Amazing ❤
Good sounds both of you and hall vibrations are maybe nice Europe….❤
Sono letteralmente rapita da questo brano cantato da questa interprete superba.
cherza infida and Doppo notte ! So wonderful to hear this ! DiDonato lives for music and we live for her making music live as only she can !
to whoever took this phone video - thank you. this is the BEST I've ever heard this performed. strength and sure power. masterful and beautiful.
The ever wonderful Joyce ❤️🎼
i listen in wonder that a human being can sing like this wonderful
I love Ms. DiDonato's voice. It has the sound of a bell. I like the tempo of this performance of the aria of ARIODANTE.
I listen in wonder that Handel could write so many good tunes!
J'adore !!!!! Merci beaucoup
🎉🎉🎉
Damn she's good! and pretty too...She has certainly turned into a formidable musician and a stunning voice. Brava!
Très belle version de Joyce toujours agréable à écouter et à regarder
Magnífica aaaaa, BRAVOOOOOOOOOOO
She's a marvel!
A voice with real heft, warmth, and colour: not something one takes for granted in singers of this repertoire! The coloratura isn't the last word in smoothness...but how alive and present it all is! Kudos for the imaginative variation of the reprise.
Coloratura is based on staccato. What do mean it lacked smoothness, s v p??
She is my favorite opera singer
Gorgeous!
Love you Joyce..perfect relationship with Handel.. this is heaven sent again.. Mind is blown.X
GRANDIOSA
Great music,
Wonderful voice
Sensational, love it
Fuerza emotiva, Joyce única 😮
Супер!!! Super!!!
DiDonato is amazing, so effortless, wonderful da capo and thrilling trills :o)
Absolute perfection!💙💙💙
Amazing...vocal fireworks!
Diva furiosa, indeed. Brava.
Very a lot of good!!! Exceptional I use some diaphragm! Very difficult piece performed very well with excellent vocal technique!!!
Compliments Joyce DiDonato!!! I add 5 * * * * *
Valerio
ПРЕКРАСНО!
DIVA!!!
Une poule qui glousse. Damer Janet Baker chante cette aria comme si elle avalit une tasse de cafe. Sans forcer, sans difficultes . Tres fluide.
Great!
une belle cantatrice avec du tonus elle donne dans une grandiose émotion
Thrilling!
Good voice! Powerful!
Брависимо!!!!!!...
Maravilhosa! ❤❤❤❤👏🏻💯👌🏻
Wonderful!
What a dope notte this must have been
HAHA omg now I can't call this by another name than 'dope night' 😂
magnifica!
Sublime🌹
Superb

Joyce ist die Nummer 1 unter den Mezzos. I like her more than Cecilia.
Simply Beautiful....John Keats eat ya heart out ;-)
Best "singing leg in plaster" ever heard.
She takes more liberties with the 2nd part A than any other singer I've heard. For the most part, she made good choices. It's a little bit like a hire wire act.
Rousset, ten thousand times.
Love her voice and her tremendous artistry, who is the conductor? Hear her perform this in New York end of April, can't wait.
Omg ! Is there a better singer in the world to sing Handel ?? Don't think so....
@Gudrun74 Sooo, DiDonato great as always... But... McCreesh or Rousset, in your opinion?

non mi piace affatto.
Старый голос, некрасивый.
У Вас ушей нет.Замечательный голос и прекрасная техника!!!!))
