Annie sophie von Otter - Scherza infida - Ariodante

[otispickett]

Da komme ich vom Punk, Rock und Jazz und suche meinen Einstieg in die Klassik. Ich glaube ich habe ihn gerade gefunden.

Danke

[miraluz88]

those who are the paintings that appear in the video?

[reneechoogland]

The most moving, grounding aria I have ever heard. i played this at my mother's funeral. I could not have made a better choice.

[eduardpijl]

The very first time I heard this wonderful aria I knew that it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. It is still hard to keep my eyes dry. Absolutely perfect

[gondorado1]

Gracias, mi amor, ya lo escuché, pero no es el ritmo que se espera, o al menos que yo espero, de ese tipo de arias. Le falta garra, no hay nada que hacer. En fin, cada uno con su gusto.

[gondorado1]

Quien lo canta es un flaco que se llama Philippe Jaroussky, que es muy lindo, pero no le pone garra. Tenés que entender la letra para darte cuenta que le falta garra. Ojalá tuviera la garra de Doña Florinda cuando le pega Don Ramón, jaja.

[jjara2]

es la primera ves que tengo coacción de escuchar esta maravilla, y estoy impresionado.

[gondorado1]

No dejes de escuchar la versión de Janet Baker. Es una maravilla.

[jjara2]

@gondorado1 ya la escuche es muy buena recomendación pero creo que no supera a la versión de Emmanuelle Haïm esa voz me tiene el alma en un hilo escuchala en el disco Handel : Anniversary Edition 1759-2009, lo puedes encontrar en iTunes, escuchala y dame tu opinión

[gondorado1]

¿Me estás haciendo una broma? Emanuelle H. NO CANTA. ¿De qué voz hablás?

[jjara2]

@gondorado1 se que ella era calbesinista no cantaba pero te juro que lo hace y muy bien, escuchala en el disco que te mencione o dame alguna dirección electrónica para enviarte la pieza, en serio es una voz hermosa.

[worldinadesk]

If God is over there He must have helped Handel to write Scherza Infida. Thank you for sharing

[Bachsoboe]

Lets not forget the Bassoons.

[UWEUWE001]

Minha versão preferida. Obrigado!

[vaughangarrick]

noone can write music as elegiac and heart wrenching as Handel and von Otter does a wonderful rendition of it

[DizzyOfTheNight]

it just make me cry. just so.. beautiful!

[oubapo]

Absolute beauty! Brava!

[Crisarquipais]

Oi Essenci@

Esta versão parece muito uma que ouvi hoje na rádio portuguesa Antena 2, de Anne Sophie com Les Musiciens du Louvre. Será a mesma?

Obrigado e parabéns pelo canal!

[essenciademusica]

acredito que sim! grata pelo comentário!

[Crisarquipais]

Eu é que agradeço! Esta versão é deveras comovente e bela!

[beholt]

I have heard von Otter's "Sovvente il sole" recently (the best rendition of this aira!) - I could not stop crying, her voice is so passionate!

[gasparyanthebest]

One of the best Haendel's arias and perhaps one of the best arias ever. It is so beautiful. thank you

[Majtreji]

Who is the conductor? I am enchanced! Not with the voice, which is good, interprets the words (too much vibrato) but by the fact that finally someone put THAT solo out :D

[beteltree]

I'm wondering if Marc Minkowski is maestro here. Just heard a recording very much like this, a few days ago on Radio France/Vivace.

[eduardpijl]

Indeed it is Minkowski. The performance is unbelievably beautiful.

[ThPaw]

eine der besten Sängerinnnen unserer Zeit. Eine sehr gute Interpretation. Danke.

[wironalga]

A desperate voice crying for betrayed love. Von Otter is unique.

[gondorado]

Do not forget Dame Baker.

[ariodantecallas]

Ésta versión me parece fantástica.Minkowski al mando de esta maravilla...muchas gracias

[gondorado]

Buscá la de Janet Baker. Creo que está mejor interpretada que esta.

[sagarzon]

Have you listened the tenor version by Ian Bostridge? I know it exists, could someone upload it?

[essenciademusica]

Scherza infida in grembo al drudo.

Io tradito a morte in braccio

Per tua colpa ora men vo.

Ma a spezzar l'indegno laccio,

Ombra mesta, e spirto ignudo,

Per tua pena io tornerò.

[elizabethvonslussen]

Heavenly! You can hear the anger and anguish in Anne Sofie's voice evoking the feeling of a betrayed prince. This must be one of the most beatiful and moving arias ever composed and sung. In the midst of serious discussions about politics at dinner with guests, there is pristine silence when this aria is played on the stereo, marvelling at von Otter's singing. Unequalled!

[eduardpijl]

Such a pitty that this Opera is not more often performed. I went to Antwerp and Munich to see it in the last 5 years. This aria is indeed the most beautiful aria ever written and sung in the most moving way by Anne Sophie. Can't stop crying

[elizabethvonslussen]

Von Otter performed the opera for 3 months at the Paris Opera Garnier sometime in the late 90s. I have the complete (3) CDS of this piece. And we have tickets to see Ariodante on May 30 at the Drottningholms Slott Theater, the oldest performing opera house, located in the outskirt of Stockholm.

[eduardpijl]

Then I will see if I can get to Stockholm on May 30th. Thank you for your reply.

[elizabethvonslussen]

Better call the Theatre first and see if there are tickets left. The number is 08-6608225, Stockholm, Sweden. von otter though will not perform in this opera this time. Other opera singers.

[SophievonFanninal]

Goprgeous! Thank you so much for posting this!

[lasultanica]

hello ! thank you for sending it! I like Handel and Anne Sophie, and it's a very beautiful video, wonderful pictures, thanks ! I haven't heard Andreas sing this air, I'll try to find it !

: )

[essenciademusica]

Ok thanks for your coment! beijos!

[sfkcbf]

This aria is heart-breakingly beautiful. Sopranist Aris Christofellis recorded this, but a falsetto voice can be rahter hard. David Daniels recorded this also, but his voice warbles more than I'd like. This recording is quite nice, even with the clearly feminine timbre and vibratto. I have not heard Andreas Scholl sing this.

[essenciademusica]

Philipe jaroussky sings this aria marvelously!

[sfkcbf]

Thank you for alerting me to that fact. I already have more Jaroussky CD music on order.

Paul Esswood (a countertenor best known from the previous generation) would have an excellent voice for this aria, fuller than Jaroussky or Scholl but without the warble of Daniels.

[BachLoveNat]

interesting...

[BachLoveNat]

It is soooooooooo beautiful dear!!!!!

Thank you.
