Infinitely sublime. This version, unlike others, has a sweetness that contrast the dramatic music. Recently I just saw another video of her performing with Le Consort and I can tell she's so beautiful as her voice resembling one of those period paintings.
It seems to me that this mezzo soprano has a warm and well tempered voice, in armony with the resigned sadness of this beautiful Handel's aria. Congratulations for the choice, dear Jeffrey. Best regards.
I’m very fond of her singing, and I previously promoted her debut recital disc of French Baroque music on my channel. I’m glad you enjoyed this. Warm greetings.
You’re welcome, dear Theo. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Since this aria was originally sung by the famous castrato Senesino, I have paired it with photographs by Kyle Thompson to help the listener imagine what it would have been like to hear this sung by a man. Fond regards.
@@JeffreyStivers Indeed, it is a great pity that you do not direct operas. That would save us from many a vulgarity and incomprehensibility of modern directors. In this respect, the last production of Rusalka in Madrid was probably another low point of failed directorial theatre. Fortunately, your video uploads put the musical and visual world back in order with perfectly formed aesthetics. Once more thank you and a big hug!
From the first notes a beautiful émotion overwhelms me.The timbre of Eva Zaik's voice works wonders here again.Thank you dear Jeffrey. Have a nice sunday .
In 2018 I saw and heard her for the first time during the Brussels 'Koningin Elisabethwedstrijd-Concours Reine Elisabeth' where she became second. I immediately liked her warm mezzo then and like now even more her singing the Baroque repertoire.Thank you.
This is magnificent, Jeffrey. Since you are an avid Handel's music collector, I wonder if you may please post Neil Davis singing "But God Is Great" from one of his Chandos Anthems. Thank you, Jeffrey.
You’re welcome. I’m very fond of Neal Davies’ singing. Unfortunately, the Chandos Anthems recording is on the Hyperion label, and they block uploads on TH-cam, so unfortunately I am not able to use anything that’s available from them.
@@JeffreyStivers I thank you so much for your reply. Indeed, Davies has a very good voice. I have Paul McCreesh's recordings of Handel Oratorios; that's how I was introduced to Davies and I liked his voice. Keep up the good work, Jeffrey.
Beautiful mezzo soprano voice with a very rich and warm "texture". Eva Zaïcic a voice to remember
I’m very fond of her singing, and you will find she is well represented on my channel.

Do you personally prefer a mezzosoprano or a countertenor voice?
For these operatic roles, I generally prefer a mezzo.
у вас, чтото случилось, мой друг?
