Very nicely performed and well suited for the counter-tenor voice, although I have heard it sung by females and even the great Dietrich Fisher Dieskau (in German).. Surely one of the finest arias in all of music :-)
@MeehanJunction And no women can sing this aria, and can't sing at all as beautifully as the best countertenors in the world, like Jochen Kowalski!:-) Happy birthday maestro!
Marvelous recording, although it must be a concert performance - it sounds so bravura, and not sad at all. I remember Kowalski sang Orfeo on the eponymous DVD, it was brilliant. I love pictorial sequence of this video, all on the theme, although Rubens looked a bit as a copy of the original? Anyway, a pleasure.
Found this song by chance from the Chateau de Rambouillet's website which I looked up due to reading about the Princesse de Lamballe. Totally fitting since Marie Antoinette was an avid supporter of Gluck. I feel like I'm in the 18th century when I hear this masterpiece.
Stunning, though it's cut in the end! Great aria! Great Kowalski! Bravo! I suspect that it was recorded before 1991. Thanks for posting. Can you tell me from which album it was taken and the year of recording?

I especially like his Vivaldi Latin pieces... Euridice is my supreme mourning, letting go song.. I even like it in German...

A great shame that Herr Kowalski isn't more extensively recorded, especially in his prime!
