Cecilia's emotional involvement in this aria is shockingly magnificent, unlike many of my favorite mezzo's whom I've heard perform this fabulous aria. She's unique, unforgettable, the best! Her ornamentations are the most expressive imaginable.
What else could be said about this power of nature of a woman? She is simply an encyclopedia of the singing art. Thank you so much for sharing this gem! I particularly enjoy the retained, heart-felt drama on her face when the aria is over. Brava!
Wat een groot kado dat je hierbij was Peter, Scherza Infida is zo ontzettend mooi elke keer, en ik luister het vaak, raak ik ontroerd, gebeurt gewoon, Handel raakt je ziel met dit lied, en met Cecilia, wauw....Dank voor plaatsen.
Grazie, gentile Cecilia, per la grande interpretazione tanto aderente al testo quanto al dolore per gli inganni patiti nella vita, ma non senza consolazione attraverso la bellezza del canto💖🌹
The Queen of recitals, I do not remember anything close to this in my entire life. A monument of an artist. Looking forward to her next recital in Barcelona.
So beautiful! I would happily pay for her concert ticket and just listen to this one aria and feel like I've got my money worth. Please, come back to the UK sometime soon, Cecilia!
UNIQUE!! This is out of this world. Never before have I heard this aria so moving, so touching! Here C. Bartoli shows that she's a true GREAT ARTIST! How very beautiful!! Thanks for posting this.
For me, Scherza Infida is one of the most beautiful song ever. It is not so often we can hear this song well interpreted. Thanks to Cecilia Bartoli. It is on of the best version with the one of Anne Sophie von Otter.
Огромная благодарность за возможность слышать и наслаждаться неповторимым голосом Сесилии!!! Она ВЕЛИКАЯ ПЕВИЦА и ВЕЛИКИЙ МУЗЫКАНТ!!! Непревзойдённое вокальное мастерство и непревзойдённое проникновение в Музыку и Образ! Такой голос очищает Пространство Души и Вселенной! ЗДОРОВЬЯ ЕЙ И СЧАСТЬЯ!!!
this aria is among my favourite from handel, i've heard so many different versions, but with Bartoli it is like hearing it for the first time, just breathtaking beautifull !
gerard barbier : Cecilia is at her very best in the encores! She has the audience on her side and then she can go out on a limp and risk putting that teaspoonfull more emotion and heart into it. Something a studio recording can never quite do.She can really do Händel justice as the great composer he really, really was. As a music professor at quizshow once said - there is so much wonderfull music in Händel that is nowhere near appreciated and played enough. Cecilia is generally very good, but in the encores she really moves away from the rest - that is if you want art. She really can make a receptive audience laugh and cry - and never forget. The really great thing about Cecilia is her constant search for new repertoire and looking in dusty archieves reading music like few can as she has her ton of experience and talent to search out that one ditty that really has merit - from a composer that otherwise is rightfully forgotten. Looking over the material she can see: "Oh! I can do something with that!" In an encore, she can also bring out the best music of the ensemble - and make them play better, than they really can! Sometimes there is a full blown false note; but that is a small thing compared to what we get, when they pull it off. She can pull an ensemble on dress tail. A very great artist and musician.
OMG..this lady is amazing I adore her and her voice. how she sing Scherza Infida with emotion and feelings.....this is so great. Cecilia you are and will be the greatest Diva ever...Bellissimo :)
Sometimes Handel just phoned it in, most of the time he did amazing arias for every voice and mood, and then sometimes he created something unbelievable, like Scherza Infida. This is one of the best versions.
Soberbia interpretación. No tengo palabras para describir. Emociones, sentimientos encontrados o algo parecido a tocar las estrellas. Gracias por tu talento y esa voz que me estremece por momentos y me deleita siempre.
Troyanos is still my favorite but this is amazing. I had lunch with Cecilia Bartoli in 1993 and she was lovely. I was the classical music buyer for Tower Records San Francisco in the late 80s early 90s and was so lucky. I understood and appreciated that I was lucky then but I get it more as years go by. I had lunch with Leontyne Price! I had dinner with Dmitri Hvorostovsky! I met Gwyneth Jones and Mirella Freni and Nikolai Gedda. I was allowed backstage at the SF Opera by Lotfi Mansouri. Opera is magical and I'm happy I learned about it when I was a youngster. It's completely changed my life.
@@noeraulgarciasaldivar7917 Oh dear. That went completely over your little head didn't it. The point you missed is that you know nothing at all about Daniel Schechter or the number of versions he may have listened to, but you still saw fit to make a smug and condescending comment. Like I said, just trolling.
Four thngs to say in response to your observation Mr Schechter: Firstly, yes, she perfectly captures the pathos of the piece, the lower register suffused with spine-tingling gorgeousness particularly. But, secondly, she deprived us of the recit... grrrrrr! Thirdly, I could have shot her for that verbal faffing around immediately preceding the performance, which, unforgivably, spoilt it for me. There's such a thing as platform protocol. (Can you imagine Janet Baker chuntering to her public prior to singing? Absolutely not. She not only sounds like a singer but, importantly, looks like a singer too, both 'ingredients' intact.) The split-second you appear you need to be completely focused on what you're about to do save obviously for briefly acknowledging the audience. I wonder she didn't blow kisses and invite everyone round to her place for tea. An OTT comment on my part? Not guilty. Fourthly, to return to her rendition: deeply, deeply felt and movingly expressed, the raw emotions suitably naked to both eye and ear, but I invite you to watch and listen to Phillipe Jaroussky in the piece. He inhabits the recit and aria >from the very moment he arrives on site as it were
The pain of betrayal in love imagined or real is alive in this music, but she embodies it in a way I have never seen. Her pain is so real. Beautiful. Tousand Tak.
Absolutely wonderful! One of the few truly "Great" singers around today. So much mediocrity hyped up as something special that it definitely is not. If I had to choose a favourite for this remarkable aria it would be Lorraine Hunt's recording simply because the beauty of her voice is so extraordinary.
Het is een van de mooiste Aria's die ik tot nog toe gehoord heb. Alleen geef ik de voorkeur aan Anne Sophie van Otter. Sarah Connely heb ik ooit ook mogen horen, ook in het concertgebouw. Fenomenaal
This is absolutely mesmerising in a very deeply sad way..it makes your heart ache as if you were the betrayed one..Bartoli appeals to me more and more every day. I can not remember why i used to dislike her...
Tobias Commissaris The whole opera is recorded w her as a bearded Ariodante from Salzburg 2017... was on 3SAT.de tonight! I couldn’t get it bec I live in France. So, I am on here listening to her every sung utterance to get a feel of it. My German friend’s were in Sublimeville!
Man könnte denken Händel hat diese Arie nur für Cecilia Bartoli geschrieben . Ich habe die Arie schon oft gehört , aber in dieser Intensität nur von Cecilia Bartoli . Grazie Cecilia Bartoli
Yes, I also like the Jaroussky rendition but have trouble imagining him on stage as Ariodante. Peu importe- he has an amazing voice and talent for phrasing
Ela faz uma ária dramática de 12 minutos como bis! ... Como pode? ... :o [She makes a dramatic aria 12 munites long as an encore!... How can it be?... :o ]
Cecilia's emotional involvement in this aria is shockingly magnificent, unlike many of my favorite mezzo's whom I've heard perform this fabulous aria. She's unique, unforgettable, the best! Her ornamentations are the most expressive imaginable.
this is for me the most beautiful performance in the history of music.
Until Lea DeSandre

Absoloutely fantastic performance, Cecilia can paint what ever she want's with her voice ......
Her mouth, visage and voice wring out every possible emotion; one of the great voices and performers of our time.
One of the greatest...

Exactly
For me its Bartoli and Tatiana Troyanos!
Огромная благодарность за возможность слышать и наслаждаться неповторимым голосом Сесилии!!!
Она ВЕЛИКАЯ ПЕВИЦА и ВЕЛИКИЙ МУЗЫКАНТ!!!
Непревзойдённое вокальное мастерство и непревзойдённое проникновение в Музыку и Образ!
Такой голос очищает Пространство Души и Вселенной!
ЗДОРОВЬЯ ЕЙ И СЧАСТЬЯ!!!
Да , такъв глас изчиства Душата, пространството и Вселената!! Най-великата мецосопрано клоратура на Земята днес!!!

I totally agree, she really brings it to life.
Fagioli's version makes justice as well! :)
Tatiana Troyanos!
Bartoli is a force of nature.
OMG..this lady is amazing I adore her and her voice. how she sing Scherza Infida with emotion and feelings.....this is so great. Cecilia you are and will be the greatest Diva ever...Bellissimo :)
SHE IS FANTASTIC.THE BEST . CONGRATULATIONS FOREVER.(Los Ángeles Chile south america).
Слышать такую красоту - огромное счастье. Такие великие люди как Бартоли наполняют жизнь смыслом. Браво!
Sometimes Handel just phoned it in, most of the time he did amazing arias for every voice and mood, and then sometimes he created something unbelievable, like Scherza Infida. This is one of the best versions.
The best of Cecillia ever recorded! This is lifesaving !
Merci d'avoir filmé et partagé ce moment de beauté. Un air sublime chanté sublimement ! ...Bouleversant 🙏
Soberbia interpretación. No tengo palabras para describir. Emociones, sentimientos encontrados o algo parecido a tocar las estrellas. Gracias por tu talento y esa voz que me estremece por momentos y me deleita siempre.
Word cant describe the beauty of this music and Cecilias voice - stunning! Great orchestra as well
Subliem en prachtig! Het blijft me ontroeren. Wat een vaķvrouw!!
I'm speechless!! The best rendition of this aria.
She is EXCEPTIONAL..
SO LOVE HER.God bless her...
Quelle douceur...les larmes sont là...c est beau

Fantastic sense of drama and phrasing... captures the suffering like no one I have ever heard.

Dank voor plaatsen. Werkelijk een zeer emotioneel rijke uitvoering en mevrouw Bartoli laat zien dat ze werkelijk een van de groten is.
It's just amazing how she conveys the feeling of having been hurt and betrayed in this aria.
A lot of hard hard work went into this moment.
I guess the thumbs down folks don't see it or hear it. Their loss.
Lieve Peter, dit is nog steeds het allermooiste muziekstuk EN opname waar ik telkens weer bij terug kom! Duizendmaal dank daarvoor! Liefs Hendrik
Tele érzelemmel ez a gyönyörű ária bravo Cecilia!!!
Fantastic --- her interpretation seems to get better and better! Thank you!
As always... A pleasure to the ears! 💞💞💞🎼🎼
that is the worlds greatest singer, with out any doubt
Maravillosa en todas las melodías que interpreta
I heard this aria by many singers but (among women) in my opinion she is the best, along with Fagioli among Countertenors)
Absolutely amazing ❤
She IS the music..
How amazing
Thanks
I want to see and hear her in the complete role. She is so moving when she sings this. She has no equal.
Sublime !!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Unforgettable . Ariodante has so much to offer !
The pain of betrayal in love imagined or real is alive in this music, but she embodies it in a way I have never seen. Her pain is so real. Beautiful. Tousand Tak.
tres émouvant, merci pour ce beau partage.

Già! Nonostante l'orchestrazione...

Dank Peter voor deze prachtige opname! ik kwam hem 3 maanden geleden pas tegen op CZcams en luister sindsdien er wekelijks naar. Liefs Hendrik
Het is een van de mooiste Aria's die ik tot nog toe gehoord heb. Alleen geef ik de voorkeur aan Anne Sophie van Otter. Sarah Connely heb ik ooit ook mogen horen, ook in het concertgebouw. Fenomenaal
Maravillosa
This is absolutely mesmerising in a very deeply sad way..it makes your heart ache as if you were the betrayed one..Bartoli appeals to me more and more every day. I can not remember why i used to dislike her...
My God what is this...it's so beautifull.
As far as I know she didn't record this aria. We were very lucky to hear her sing this piece in 2010!
she sang it again! yesterday evening in Brussels!
A Dío grazie!!!
Tobias Commissaris The whole opera is recorded w her as a bearded Ariodante from Salzburg 2017... was on 3SAT.de tonight! I couldn’t get it bec I live in France. So, I am on here listening to her every sung utterance to get a feel of it. My German friend’s were in Sublimeville!
Nobody's voice lasts forever. Go and see her NOW ! You won't regret it.
Absolutely inspiring!!!
La mejor !!!!
Es fantástica
sublime - her eyes tell it all - the pain is so beatifully portraid
The most dramatic and spine chilling rendition of this popular aria I've ever heard. Which orchestra??
harry bixler La Scintilla ZÜRICH ..... the old touring version
Man könnte denken Händel hat diese Arie nur für Cecilia Bartoli geschrieben . Ich habe die Arie schon oft gehört , aber in dieser Intensität nur von Cecilia Bartoli . Grazie Cecilia Bartoli
... wonderful!
Yes, I also like the Jaroussky rendition but have trouble imagining him on stage as Ariodante. Peu importe- he has an amazing voice and talent for phrasing
Geniale!
fabulous!!!!!!
Magnífica!!
gut wrenching....so beautiful.
Grazie, all is great here!!
The right timbre, the right "affect", with repeated passages imaginatively (but never inappropriately) varied.... It's very good indeed!
My remarks about this vocal and presentational offering are summarised in the section in which Mr Schechter shares his own thoughts with us.
C'est magnifique! Merci pour fabuleuse vidéo.
She is the real deal! Amazing!
bella bella bella bellissima !!
Absolutely!
WOW!!

for the errors i give 7/10
for improvisations will be 10/10

Ela faz uma ária dramática de 12 minutos como bis! ... Como pode? ... :o
[She makes a dramatic aria 12 munites long as an encore!... How can it be?... :o ]
Malu Mestrinho m
Es una excelente soprano
Beyond sublime... I just do not get people who cough during such a rendition. Pearls, Sows?
