    Haendel est véritablement le plus grand compositeur d'opéras. Ses arias atteignent une intensité dramatique inégalée. Verdi et Puccini font pâle figure à côté. Ce n'est que mon avis.

    What a heart wrenching, dramatic performance !! the greatest Alcina ever. Always loved Sandrin Piau in EVERTHING she does but what a great singing this is !! Such a refined, intelligent, beautiful and dramatic rendition. This most beautiful of all aria is also most taxing, difficult, long aria as well. What she accomplished here is a monumental task equal to the legendary Maria Callas singing "Visi d'Arte" in Tosca. This is only third time I cried listening the music or watching the opera performance during my long years music listening. Bach "Erbarme dich, mein Got" violin intro, Philippe Jaroussky singing "Cum dederit ..." and this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sandrin.

    All in all the best performance.I have heard a few interpretations of this aria.
    Sandrine is perfect. There is emotion but not overdone. The high notes are perfect.
    No pushed notes for dramatic effect.

    I was there - on the back row, surrounded by cameras. I will remember it for ever. The central climax of the greatest opera, performed with so much power and emotion that it completely wrecked me. Sandrine Piau is amazing!

  • @stefanspeyer8126

    For sure, Haendel is not - so to speak - an innocent ground, and - for sure - Lorraine Hunt (Lieberson) was, may be, in all her modesty the female singer bringing a number of Haendel pieces to supreme expression, until her early death.
    I hold in my CD stock Sandrine Piau with Christophe Rousset on Opera Seria, and already this (the first ten years) made you listen very carefully, with flowing emotion.The recording here goes beyond, being absolutely memorable. In a certain way, you could say that Lorraine Hunt (but in another way) is still between us. And, as to Sandrine Piau,French helps : Quelle maîtrise, et quelle émotion, et les deux à la fois. Une merveille !

  • @Homoclassicus
    @Homoclassicus Před 8 lety +16

    Sublime singing and interpretation! Piau here reaches Sutherland's otherwordly beauty and sublime melancholy in singing this aria. Her voice still sounds so fresh, clear and luminous, and add to that a great expressivity.

    Ah! mio cor! schernito sei!
    Stelle! Dei!
    Nume d'amore!
    Traditore!
    T'amo tanto;
    puoi lasciarmi sola in pianto,
    oh dei! perché?
    Ma, che fa gemendo Alcina?
    Son reina, è tempo ancora:
    resti o mora,
    peni sempre, o torni a me.

    I dont know what is happening here. I know not where she is comming from or where she is going to, nor do i understand a single word she is saying, but, she seems like a woman scorned? I do love Opera, albeit that maddening circumstance of the language barrier. I of course feel the emotion of it all, and for now, it is all that i need.

    @orion8835 Před rokem +2

    Handel treble roles for female are girlish soubrettes, lyric feminine coloraturas, boyish soprano types, light mezzo types and dark contraltos and of course counter tenors playing all sorts now. This is the boyish soprano type similar to Lorraine Hunt. In the role of Alcina this is another way to go with Sandrine Piau. There is a certain howly, pale, quality that is almost androgynous. It can be every moving for listeners wanting to get away from the more cos gendered feminine sound. It certainly is otherworldly.
