Humans might have ruined the world, burnt down the forests, been clouded by greed and lust, started wars, done terrible things. But we all can agree over music, the force that binds all things and people.
She sang at the National Concert Hall in Dublin two years ago and was due back last May, a covid cancellation. However in 2019 I was sitting in the front row about 3 yards from her when she sang this, it is in my list of highlights of my entire life, it was 3 minutes of my life I will simply never forget!
for me, the way she sings this is perfection, she treats it with sensitivity and gentleness- and the piece is not rushed, she allows all the beauty of every note to drift off into the air - angelic
L'aspiration à la liberté! Un thème dont l'écho résonne, triste, nostalgique, plein de soupirs, de la merveilleuse musique de Händel. Émue! Dieu merci! Pouvoir écouter une telle merveille, dans la voix de Joyce Donatio c'est pour remercier Le Bon Dieu! Esther Lessa
Une musique divine interprétée avec tellememt de ferveur par Joyce Di Donato et le quintet Pomo d'Oro. Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter en pleurant dans mon deuil.
I recently reached the age of 72 and lam astonished,suddenly hearing this beautiful rendition from such a gifted voice , like being slapped in the face by Handel with joy and a rebuke as if to say ,what took you so long fool
The beauty of the music, eternal music. Please share this kind of music with the new generations, educate them to what we have done as human beings in the past thanks to real composers.
Wow. The simplicity.. the pathos... the utter submission to a miserable fate.. Her performance seems to send shivers down my spine.. Her rendition seems unfettered by unnecessary "stylisms".. i think this is how Handel intended the song to be sung, in all its frankness and simplicity
One of the best interpretations of this wonderful piece.....(IMHO) No facial theatrics, no twisting or contortions....they're not needed and Joyce DiDonato is well aware of it...
@@lpeh6143 vibrato is employed sparingly..countertenors do it too. How much you accept is a matter of taste. I prefer it to a choir boy rendition with none but loathe heavy deployment .
@@frogmouth Ah I recognized a well rounded comment ...used to do a bit in choirs many moons ago. It always annoys me a bit hen some utube maestro tells folk at this lady's level how to perform. I think she sings a wonderful line of music and is really superb.
Music is the universal language. Words need not be understood when you sing this way. I felt all of it and tears flood my eyes. Her delivery is everything.
Heavenly Handel... Splendid Handel... Eternal Handel... I thank the divine hand, the eternal power that created the blood that ran in your veins... Infinite beauty, timeless musical eloquence, overwhelming emotionalism in every transition between one note and another... I thank every woman that broke Handel's heart... every tree, every bird. every ray of sunshine that was an inspiration to that splendid immortal mind!!! This aria is the ultimate hymn to agony, that could also overwhelm you with joy... This is literally heaven. Handel's heaven... where I shall dwell till eternity. Divine.
I am very moved from your comment Sora. It is an inspiration for all of us trying to raise with our interpretation up to the level Handel would have wanted .
How does she do it . She brings everything . We feel what we can't really describe . So many every singer even the male s sing this but not with her perfect flowing line even when she's not singing the meaning is felt ! Excellent ensemble work here . I think it's a version for today too .
I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. －The Shawshank Redemption
Händel... of this world but, not from this world. Maestro Maximus! Divine, had had his feet on the earth, and his ears in heaven. He didn't write music, he took dictations from God. I do believe that, piously, if I may say so. A privilege to listen to it, to be of this time, and a witness still to his great virtue and geniality. Superb! Bravo, Maestro! Bravissimo!
A wonderful performance by Ms DiDonato , that captures the mind from it's worldly woes & gently like an angel in ethereal flight takes it to a verdant haven of quiet joy 👏
i'm practicing this song for my singing lessons and i cry every single time i hear this woman, i can't rehearse like this 🥺😢 it just sounds so beautiful and genuine, i wanna sing like her in the future 🥰 with her raw emotion, gentleness and effortlessness
Keep coming back to this. Exceptional . Handel would have approve d of the the understated improvs by the voice and violin, expected at the time, so well executed. Love the look of approval by 2nd violin.
Humans might have ruined the world, burnt down the forests, been clouded by greed and lust, started wars, done terrible things. But we all can agree over music, the force that binds all things and people.
So true!
Je partage entièrement votre opinion !
Too bad the beauty of music hasn't cured us of atrocities.
♥️💫
I can only agree !

I’m deeply envious I’m sure has being a magic experience
Good for you, I have several of those minutes and are wonderful experience

Agreed. An unqualified joy to listen to.
Joyce DiDonato your voice is sent from Heaven. It is like hearing this aria for the first time. Thank you for helping me with my voice.
Watch More of Joyce didonato on my Channel !! (Don't forget to Subscribe
This is pure beauty - the setting, the music, the performers, and the talent. I hope civilisation continues in this troubled time.
I like this slower than usual version. Gives grace to the music.

The beautiful Joyce - both inside & out actually - but few are even capable of being this pure and effortless. In a class by herself I think.
those dramatic crescendos are amazing they gave the song so much life
listening from turkey with full admiration. Such a masterpiece.
shows how limitless human creativity is. Handel is definitely a genius

Well she does include ornamentation. I guess your comment proves she's got the Goldiocks zone
NOT too much .
Pathos... just that. I need search no further.
@Mark excellent, insightful comment. I'd add, and she nailed it.
@@frogmouth what
I can't stop listening to this its so beautiful! and Well played.
Simply beautifully sung...and the accompaniment is really wonderful.
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri
La libertà.
Il duolo infranga
Queste ritorte,
De' miei martiri
Sol per pietà.
You can just hear the suffering and pain. What a beautiful performance. Brava Joyce.
Beautiful, really crying, making crying schön. As well as the group, and the palace. Thanks so much, greetings from Spain

Bro too much vibrato its baroque

Heavenly! I have been fond of this aria for years. What a wonderful surprise to find this today.
I’m speechless. She sings with her heart and so beautiful
Listening to this makes life worthwhile! This performance is superb!
A lovely interpretation of one of my favourite arias ; thank you !
great Mezzo Soprano italo american Joyce DiDonato..wonderful performance...
brianzolo1 Actually she's not italo-american ;)
brianzolo1 but yeah, great performance :)
shure ....in ur opinion Di Donato is typical anglo saxon surname.....)) Di Donato is italian origin name !!
brianzolo1 Her real surname is Flaherty.
Born in Kansas in 1966...Father by italian origin...mother irish one....
Simplemente, ¡sublime, Joyce! Un bravo, también, por IL Pomo d'Oro.
This is beautiful. Love her voice, love her interpretation.
Joyce DiDonato is one of the greatest of all times. This performance is simple perfection.
How can someone thumbs down this video it's so beautiful and it takes a long time to learn
Que hermoso habla la presentadora. Gracias. Saludos
Magnifique ! 🇫🇷🌹❤️❤️👍🇫🇷😊
What a beautiful and deeply touching performance.
Heart-rendingly beautiful. What more could you ask for?
Gorgeous ornamentation in the violin line at the end
indeed
tout à fait d'accord
Who are the players, anybody know? Wonderful leader especially
Music is the universal language. Words need not be understood when you sing this way. I felt all of it and tears flood my eyes. Her delivery is everything.
Thank you, Joyce. I am getting ready for surgery and you put my heart in a beautiful place.
I hope your surgery went well, Pati.
Splendida esecuzione!
godly perfection, the way her voice flows like light

Complimenti per la chiara espressione vocale e timbrica!
Complimenti ai violinisti!
Sublime! Cannot wait to hear Joyce sing this in Dublin this June (2017) also accompanied by the excellent il Pomo d'Oro
Venezia, Haendel, un pensiero per l'immortale Carlo Broschi... E questa voce celestiale! Celestiale!!! Bravissima, splendida.
Grazie!!!
Yes, her interpretation is outstanding!
a fantadtic piece of music from händel,i love this song and feeling relaxed when i hear it.
All so wonderfully done. Beautiful setting of that era along with period instruments...and of course, a beautiful voice. Thank you. ♥
Yes period instruments but not period singing she did too much vibrato its baroque
@@lpeh6143 oh! :-O
@@1viva there is another version from her though where she actually sings in baroque style
@@lpeh6143 oh, thank you. I was not aware that during the Baroque period, Singing with vibrato was not in fashion...
So beautiful. In love with this. Quite simple.
I love this music
This is very beautyful
Bravo Ms DiDonato and above all George Frederick Handel!!!!!!
Qué voz más hermosa. Tuve la oportunidad de verla en Santiago de Chile y fue un privilegio. Simpática, bonita, y una voz dominada y hermosa.
This is simply wonderful. What a wonderful voice
I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. －The Shawshank Redemption
+Spring Walklike "and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free'
That scene in “Shawshank Redemption was actually the “letter duet” from “The Marriage of Figaro.”
This scene is wonderful with this song!
Truly sublime in its superb depth of passion!
Потрясающая музыка, огромное спасибо,. Джойс. Чудо. Божественный голос.
Unico e inimitabile! Formidabile interpretazione.

OliverTwisted01 I agree. the best composers were Handel, RVW (Rafe Vaughan Williams), and Sir David Willcocks.
So solemn and light at the same time. Really beutiful!
In my subjective opinion, this is the best interpretation of this song.
She is lovely, isn't she?
so far
Bro this wasnt even sung in the way handel wanted it to be wayyy to much vibrato by the singer wayyy too much
Don't know if the best but undoubtedly up there.
Wow I really love this music I first heard it as a sound track of a movie I was watching
Brava, bellissima location.
Perfect rendition, I would say. Most importantly, a true beauty
Maravillosa interpretación. Bravo
A wonderful performance by Ms DiDonato , that captures the mind from it's worldly woes & gently like an angel in ethereal flight takes it to a verdant haven of quiet joy 👏
The. correct title is. MISS DiDonato, m.s.means manuscript or multiple sclerosis, PERIOD
@@ronaldmessina4229 WTF??? It's Ms. not m.s.
*Ms* means reference to a woman of unknown marital status. PERIOD.
Lindo, lindo, lindo!!!! Joyce é maravilhosa🥰👏👏👏👏👏
Wow I was moved to tears!!
An all round beautiful rendition. Love it! thombo
Her rich voice lends pathos to this sad, but glorious music!
MERCIIIIIIIIIII !!!!! magnifique !
So moving. Brought a tear to my eye
Just balled my eyes out! Omg sublime and so sad.
Che brava...un piacere sempre sentirla! Emozionante!
Perfekt, himmlisch, wunderschön!!

You are really amazing. You have got a angel lovely voice.
Simply amazing!!!
My FAVORITE baroque aria of all time.
Almost made me cry. Beautiful!
To me the best intrerpretation at all of this piece!
Quelle voix !!! Quelle musicalité !!!! Quelle paix !!!!! Quelle grâce !!!! Enfin tout y est...
Another selfish idiot who wants all of the language in anglosajón. All of the languages are correct to explain the situation
Fantastique !!! 💖💖💖
She is so amazing. Just saw her in
Agrippina she was wonderfull as comedian and singer.
One of the best performances of this aria
Bellissimo..
There is a beautiful gentleness in this rendering which sets it apart.
I love mezzosoprano
I think this might be the most beautiful aria ever written...it sort of makes me stop breathing!
Her voice is very ethereal.
Sublime, simply sublime!
Keep coming back to this. Exceptional . Handel would have approve d of the the understated improvs by the voice and violin, expected at the time, so well executed. Love the look of approval by 2nd violin.
Just too beautiful.
That trill!!! MY God!! Sooooo good!
che bella la lingua italiana la lingua dell'arte grazie Italia
Superb presentation !!! Brava!!! \o/
