Yo soy de la clase baja o sea pobre pero me gusta este tipo de musica y ami hija tambien, la gente que nos conoce se burla de nosotros por escuchar esta musica pero no les hacemos caso, como pude le compre en pagos un violin a mi hija y ya en enero empezara a tomar clases. Espero que no sea un pasatiempo para ella .

yo soy de la clase baja osea pobre pero me gusta este tipo de musica y a mi hija de 10 años tambien, la gente que nos conoce se burla de nosotros pero no les hacemos caso, como pude le compre en pagos un violin a mi hija y a principios de enero comenzara a tomar las clases . Espero que no sea un pasatiempo para mi hija.

En definitiva, éstas son las mejores interpretaciones que jamás he escuchado, Jaroussky es bueno, pero como que mejor me quedo con esta interpretación

[RafaelBG1975]

Très beau et majestueux, une pièce digne de Dieu.

[acerb45666555]

these vidz go great with Fencing videos! no doubt, (considering his value and importance), Farinelli was permitted to carry a rapier! but how good was he with it?

[TheGainsbourg]

"Alto giove, è tua grazia e tuo vanto, il gran dono di vita immortale, che il tuo cenno sovrano mi fa "

[AndrewAARus]

Вот это совершенное искусство. Браво!

божественно

[cjw2007pti]

ok i was reading up on what they did to farinelli in that time period. but do you mean to say that there were others who werent as successful who also "said goodbye to their "manhood"

[BARREDA1976]

of course, the common use in italy at that time was to castrate them as a child and not everybody was famous or succesfull

[LionezzzAOTC]

wasn't it easier to let women sing opera? no, they had to make a man sound like a women..

[Motetftw]

Think of it as opera singers today.. many are trained, but few make it to the stage. Same with castrati.. many were castrated but few were able to live from singing due to lack of popularity.

[pianistofbabylone]

Danke!

[68Zenit]

Respekt !

[69chevyboy]

Im learning about this in my music class and it sound cool it is messed up what they did to him to make him sing like that. Check out Alessandro Moreschi.

[Zantorc]

You're judging this from a modern perspective eg:

Joseph Haydn, who came within hours of being castrated, recalled how enthusiastic he was about it. A chance visit from his father stopped it just in time. But it wasn't so must the castration his father objected to. It was because it would have barred JH from the priesthood. Different times, different values.

Farinelli amassed a huge fortune and died a wealthy man, so wouldn't feel too sorry for him - Moreschi maybe, not Farinelli.

[PiroozAzDirooz]

@Zantorc Yes, we need to re-instate that tradition and castrate a lot of leaders as well as religious nuts on this planet. Castrating all clergy, for example, will be a fine start. :)

[woo2005]

it's a combo of 2 voices right....man i really wanna hear the real Farinelli Castrato....only if i was born in his era

[lichunyehbelgium]

still when I hear this aria I get shivers, its so beautiful.....

[geekbaritone]

Hermisisima epoca? Yo no usaria ese calificativo. Epoca donde por el arte castraban a niños para manofacturar esas voces. La mayoria de ellos no lograban la fama y fortuna que Farinelli logro,su voz era única y rara entre los castratti.

[nataliuk]

who is singing really - man or woman? Sorry, maybe it is not whe main moment, but as I realize, there ant'nt real records of Farinell's voice...

[lotta1723]

combo of 2 voices: Soprano Coloratura Ewa Malas-Godlewska and Countertenor Derek Lee Ragin

[larenuf]

Asi es, una verdadera lastima no estar en esa hermosisima epoca, donde la pasion y la originalidad eran lo primero.

[italwines]

NON PLUS ULTRA

[GUSSSMUSIK]

BRAVISSIMO

[jocyglam]

Bravo!!!

[xijena]

definitivamente era increible lamento no haber podido estar en esa epoca y poder disfrutar de su voz, aunque sabemos que esta no es la original nos lleva a un extasis muy apegado a lo que sucedia en su epoca

[3konno]

I have this record, it was edited 1000 times in the recording and has two soloists, a soprano and tenor alternating for their appropriate passages of notes

[moinana13]

Magnifique tout simplement ! Homme ou Femme, la voix d'un humain est si douce , si dure... Epoustouflant !

[pianolina85]

It is the greatest music and voice I`ve ever heard!!!!

[fairyboy3]

the portuguese is adialect the portuguese is a dialct ñañañaña!

[essenciademusica]

The Portuguese is a language! 

And not a dialect!

[fairyboy3]

is a conncecuence of castilian so is a dialect only with a great power that catalan and gallego don tot got. i must say that force that literature give to portuguese.

[madameGreen]

La voix d'un ange résonne encore en 2008 grace aux merveilles de la technologie .

Farinelli !! CASTRATO !!! Quelle merveille !

[clemgon]

??? ce n'est pas farinelli qui ici, dsl. C'est juste un mixage entre plusieurs voix (féminineset masculines) pour imiter au mieux la voix d'un castrat. En revanche il existe un enregistrement d'un des derniers castrats du début du XXe.

[CLEOPATRE78]

Ce mixage est extraordinaire, le résultat est au top... C'est superbe tout comme le film d'ailleurs !!!

[essenciademusica]

Esta aria é uma das areas mais bonitas!

[Roscieto]

Is what you typed portuguese?

Also, what is this aria about?

[essenciademusica]

Yés portuguese!

Acio aria, that is impassioned by galatea and it ends being also squashed by a stone by the giant polifemo impassioned by galatea!

[Roscieto]

Gracias

[montecarlostar]

you mean obrigado

[fairyboy3]

"you mean obrigado" but the portuguese is a concecuence of castilian The only thing is that got the power of lenguage for the brilliant liteartura more than catalan or gallego. gracias

[dragaoastro69]

Your wrong about that. Portuguese evolved from galaico-portuguese, a mixed language in galiza and northern portugal. We are not a regional language like catalan.

[essenciademusica]

Totally in agreement with you!

Totalmente de acordo amigo! bjssss!

[luridi]

@dragaoastro69 Sorry dear, but catalan is not a "regional" language.

7 milion people in four different countries speak catalan.

Anyway, "regional languages" concept represents only a political point of view.

[sfkcbf]

Just moments after my previous posting, I opened an MP3 file sent to me with Jaroussky performing this very aria! Marvelous!

[essenciademusica]

You could send me the version of this aria with jaroussky? Thanks!

[sfkcbf]

Arias such as this one prove that Nicola Porpora was much more than merely a conductor and a voice teacher for famous castrati. I am glad that this aria is available to us, although I would like to hear it sung also by Scholl, Jaroussky, Marian, and/or Wong.
