Soprano Susanna Phillips performs the aria "V'adoro pupille" from Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto with Boston Baroque on April 23, 2017. Jordan Hall at New England Conservatory.
ARIA TEXT:
V'adoro, pupille,
saette d'amore,
le vostre faville
son grate nel sen.
Pietose vi brama
il mesto mio core,
ch'ogn'ora vi chiama
l'amato suo ben.
ARIA TRANSLATION:
Sweet eyes, darts of love,
I adore you.
Your sparks are welcome guests
in my breast.
My sorrowful heart desires you
to be merciful,
for its beloved calls out
unceasingly for you.

I attended one of these performances. Phillips has real stage presence and a lovely (if not huge) voice and tons of musicality! The Caesar, forget who he is, was great too. Boston Baroque always does a good job.

She helps me open my heart anew today...

[@sjkim9812]

brava!!!!!

[@oyuzim]

Wow, very well executed performance!

[@mathersdavid5113]

One of Handel's greatest creations. Impossible to embellish that melody so best to do the Da Capo as a straight repeat.

[@witsch.witsch9378]

Beautiful woman and a voice!

[@erike3189]

Meravigliosa!

[@okayamanzo5685]

Incanto pittorico ed elegiaco, filo che che unisce parola e suono

[@Truffle_Young_Jr]

Это высшая лига, и сказать больше нечего. Браво.

[@ronaldmessina4229]

Y porqué hay que traducir al anglosajón?😢 el anglosajón no tiene nada de la gracia necesaria para hacer traducciones, en cambio el Ruso es completamente válido para hacerse entender mundialmente ❤😊

[@dddevchonka]

Ну нет, это еще не высшая лига. Медленный темп убивает Генделя и дает возможность "сачковать" певцам. Послушайте в исполнении Maria Bayo.

[@Truffle_Young_Jr]

@@dddevchonka зачем тут быстрый темп?

[@dddevchonka]

@@Truffle_Young_Jr Не быстрый, просто не искусственно замедленный. Вот это растягивание убивает мелодию. Послушайте и поймете разницу. Певцы, которые не вытягивают сложную для них музыку барокко, все время поют в более медленном темпе.

[@Truffle_Young_Jr]

@@dddevchonka Думаю, тут знают как и что исполняют.
Художественная значимость произведения не опреляется созданием технических сложностей для ее исполнения. Петь можно и в 10 раз быстрее, что будет, в 20 раз сложнее. Но это не значит, что это произведен я приобретет бОльшую эстетическую глубину.
Просто замысел композитора и интеллектуальные достоинства барочной музыки не всем дано понять.

Heavenly. Divine! Could Haendel write a melody, or what?

Its amazing, bravi,but the hands spoil the performance

[@mrbutch308]

All those yards of gold lame fabric is a wee bit kitschy, but despite that Susanna nails it. A gorgeous rendition!

[@sanderbeemer5065]

Ik kan dit zingen als deze zangeres.

[@rheinhartsilvento2576]

Doe maar, dan 😁. Maar ga eerst een groot muziekcontract onderteken eerst, en wordt bekend door meer mensen dan je eigen familie 😂

[@gerryjohnson2252]

Agree with the comment about the awkwardness of her hand and arm movements. It IS more distracting than sensual.

[@Sarah-vi4cx]

whoever told her to do her hands like that made a mistake! not seductive or queenly, just bizarre

[@lonniethomas2649]

It IS kinda weird, isn’t it?!

[@sanderbeemer5065]

Kan dir zingen bent man 67

[@user-wv2ds6ne9s]

예쁘신데 손이 발연기네요 연기자들에게 배우시지! 아님 그냥 노래만 하시던지! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한국인의 손끝연기 무용가에게도 배우는게 유익할 듯도요

[@orion8835]

Awful. The orchestra is very reduced and droopy at times the sound is so straight toned and cold it is irritating. The entire thing sounds flat and dreary. The soprano is a bore and offer zero help or diction. The voice has no vocal character or size. This has become the fascination in early music which is sad. The dancers and winged costume stance effects are super. The pony tail looked stupid on the tall girl to the right however and should had been corrected. The hand movements trying to be Lully versus 18th C where they were still used but differently was….erm it bordered on confusing and should had been tighter and more angular. Again wrong. The effect of these kind of performances are tranquil and somulant at best for the overheated ADHD types. The perfect thing for nervous opera hating classic music patrons who think this is how it sounded in the 1700’s or should. It isn’t by the way. The original Cleopatra was a bright high Italian soubrette soprano with dominance. Not this child, who looks asleep. Also the plugging of the Conservatory in the stage set was ridiculous. The Boston classical music scene really is just so strange. They used to have strong connection to opera and this Baroque movement but it is all so watered down one night as well listen to a CD. This truly was the flattest “Vadoro pupile” I have ever heard or seen. Terrible.

[@jlander8]

Glorious Handel; sympathetic performance; fantastic costume; Cleopatra personified

[@d.dragonetti9223]

100% agree

[@drc4168]

Who are you????

[@user-fj9mn2yp9r]

Уши вянут от такого пения!!!!!!
