    No one can top over Anne Sofie von Otter who sang it at the Opera National de Paris . She performed Haendel’s opera ARIODANTE and conducted by Marc Minkowski. In 2001, a friend gifted me the 3-CDs of the opera, got struck by the beauty of her singing and has always been my favourite aria.

    Two of the greatest performances I've attended in person were of "Scherza Infida" at Carnegie Hall. Joyce DiDonato and David Daniels.
    Joyce, in a concert performance of the entire opera, brought me to tears; dramatic, emotional, totally convincing.
    David Daniels, in a concert performance, was the opposite, ethereal, mesmerizing, I forgot to breathe. The audience's silence at the end was more powerful than any applause.
    Reminds us that a great work of art transcends any particular interpretation, and that opera is more than a vocal exercise. For what it's worth, I choose Anne Sofie von Otter as my favorite recording.

    I admire Ms. Di Donato and Ms. Hunt-Lieberson for their passionate and nuanced performance of this aria (I hope I’m not being pretentious here; they really sought to give every word its full meaning in each part of the aria). I’m always interested in what countertenors can do in representing men in an opera; however, I felt Raffaele Pe did not give much feeling to his performance here. He does have a lovely voice.

  • @dieterpeszat2105
    @dieterpeszat2105 Před 2 lety +2

    Hello, dear sir. Your tasks are becoming more and more demanding. Here with Handel's "Scherza infida" from his opera Ariodante. This can certainly be expanded. Love can endure a lot, here you can prove it. I can listen to 20 different pieces of music from the same composer or genre in a row, but nine times the same piece requires a lot of love. Since you can also do it in fast forward and I've heard a lot of other things afterwards, I don't - like commentator Laura Compagnoni - have a lasting catchy tune. - - - Happy Easter!

    All were beautiful in their own ways and heavily influenced by the performance of the orchestra. However, for the male voices - Franco Fagioli has a wonderful voice and and ability to express the emotions of this aria, it took my breath away, Philips voice and technique are wonderful but I feel his pure/thin tone isn't well suited to this aria. For the women, who were able to put more sensitive expression into their vocal performances, I really couldn't choose between Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, Joyce DiDonato and Ann Hallenberg all were stunning and wrung my heart out. I know many singers are missing from this comparison who are also wonderful - Cecilia Bartolis version is one of my favourites.

    Everyone is truly magnificent, except that for the celebrated Mr. Fagioli, I would wish he could have a more flowing vocal line, with less impediment. He tends to go for a big vibrato on almost every note. I feel this way about his singing generally. Of course, it’s remarkable for a countertenor to have such a big voice, and I admire that.

      It’s hard to say, because the virtuoso castrato Carestini was the original singer of that title role. Many people believe that Franco Fagioli has a vocal ability similar to that of the castrati, but it’s speculative since we cannot know what the best Baroque castrati sounded like.
