In 9th grade, in 1977, I last heard this: my quavering and timid tenor sneaking into the opening high F with all trepidation warranted. But... It encouraged me to go on, major in voice, sing professionally in Germany. The difference an aria can make.
What a sumptuous vocal gift here: only a bit darker and you are nearly in Suzie LeBlanc territory. Not needed. It is exquisite how you sing.
What a beautiful tenor voice. Delightful.
Absolutely enchanting. You have a truly beautiful instrument, and unbelievable control over it. Wonderful!
River Guard thank you so much for your kind words! Forever a work in progress :)
Exemplary tenor singing!
Wonderful !!! After six years of vocal studies, I found a beautiful way and you are an inspiration to me !!! Great voice!!!
Jabez Lima thank you so much!!!
Sublime. Une leçon de chant.
Really nice performance. From far the most delicate I have listened of this wonderful piece.
In this field, a master piece is the combination of a great composer with a great singer. This is a nice example.
Congratulations and thank you very much for posting it on internet.
Acis and Galetea is one of my favorites and I have never heard this aria sung more beautifully or soulfully. Gave me chills. Thank you and hope to see you in concert soon!
I have listened to this so many times! I am an aspiring singer myself and must confess to nicking a few of your ornaments for my graduating recital. You have a beautiful voice,m and a great approach to baroque technique and practice.
Zach -- you sound FANTASTIC! My student and I are using this performance as a learning model. We went to school to school at Eastman back in the day -- Oliver Henderson.
I’m about to start working on it with my teacher at university. I’m so touched by your interpretation and the beautiful sound of your voice. Thank you!!
Superb!! Next year I'll be heading off to college for and majoring in Vocal Performance. I hope to one day have as much finesse, beauty, and control in my voice as you do yours!!
Bekah Alphonso Congratulations! Where are you going to be attending? And thank you so much for the kind words :)
My hope is to attend Berklee, but if not, then University of Louisiana. But Berklee is my main goal!!
awesome! that's a good school-and Boston is really a cool town. I lived there for 5 years. Best of luck on your adventures!
I wonder if this was originally intended for tenor or soprano?
Originally, the first 1718 version it was likely tenor based on the 5 part chorus (STTTB). The 1732 (in Italian and English) version was changed to soprano, and eventually the aria was absorbed by Damon in the last version, played by a tenor. So, the answer is both!
