Natalie Dessay: "Da tempeste il legno infranto" (Giulio Cesare)

[vitellia]

FABULOUS! So glad she sang come scritto before da capo. Interesting that it's NOT in the Baroque pitch. None of Handel "soprano" parts, just like Rossini ones, don't really call for stratospheric high notes. They were more or less like Joyce Didonato or Cecilia Bartoli, who we now call a mezzo.

Been trying to find the lyrics to this song for God knows how long. Thank you so much uploading this :)

[SsteinwayS]

@UnoriginalComposer I agree :)

The second part of the arie isn't really the same....couldn't you write the ornaments too?? xD

[SsteinwayS]

@DessayBestSingerII Uhh...not with Paint...I could write them and re-scan them for next time :P Fun idea! Haim's ornaments are ridiculously difficult but Dessay pulls them off effortless!

[SsteinwayS]

@SsteinwayS and 3D? was that a new sword or something like that?

[SsteinwayS]

@DessayBestSingerII Well, I can't say we "invented" 3D, what did we only live in 2D before that?  lol
