Handel - Hercules "Where shall I fly?" Sarah Walker

[qyzuf]

a bit too civil...

[mezzomanUK]

She is mad as in very, very angry indeed...not as in bonkers! She wants vengeance!

[mezzomanUK]

This sends shivers down my spine !!!

[qyzuf]

terrific voice and mastery, but this version is too cautios and aristocratic...well, boring! It says "let me be mad" for a reason!

[CatalinaDM56]

Now that is what I am talking about!!!

[norisv]

Something in the timbre of her lower register that reminds me of Kathleen Ferrier.

[JPD060486]

I thought Janet Baker in the Lento section, 'Hide me, hide me'

[norisv]

Funny, I was thinking about that section too. Only in that particular part, she reminds me a bit of Kathleen Ferrier. The rest of hers is very mezzo soprano.

[mtenor]

sorry guys dont like this at all

[cmhmuscle]

This rivals Janet Baker's incredible recording.....and that's saying something.

[Handelove]

Perfect example on how to balance emotion and elegant singing, even using chest voice! A true singing lesson.

Thanks for posting.

"their baneful presence taints the skies" 3:07-3:18 she finishes the run on a wonderful shuddering trill, no one else i've heard does that trill, and it's written!

[tamerlano]

It's fantastic, isn't it?

[trousermezzo]

Definitely one of the best renditions of this aria on YouTube!
