I must have been nearly sitting next to this person in the Concertgebouw! While I frown upon illegal recordings, I'm grateful that you made this one. I LOVED this concert.

''While I frown upon illegal recordings" Why on earth? Live recordings made with simple cameras are often so much more real. Thank god some ppl don't mind these commercial barriers. Like my german friend Gudrun74, who happened to sit beside me then. So maybe you sat beside her (left half) as I had some dutch ppl sitting next to me. Thanks for reminding me again of this indeed stunning performance. Must listen more to it.

Absolutely gorgeous!

she's okay, Vivica is still the best though. I have to say, she cracks at times (in fact she cracked like 3 times when she sang Dejanira at BAM under W. Christie. Still great voice though but not all that.

[wironalga]

She's one of the very few who can successfully articulate the italian diction PROPERLY.... For the rest, brillance and panache are quite explicite here. Brava Joyce!!!

[Gudrun74]

Joop, I'm so glad you recoreded her! It is monumental, such a treasure. Joyce singing this aria 3 meters before us were some of the best moments this year for me. This concert was so so so divine! You know I went home and immediately booked a ticket for her concert the following week. Joyce transports the Handelian spirit so well, deep emotions plus virtuosity, sung in a perfectly stylish way. Such a charismatic singer. A perfect Handel concert. Handel rules.

[2] And applause to your courageousness, Joop, to film her in Concertgebouw (one of the few concert halls where I'd be too cowardish to film)! This theatre should LOVE you for that. You made the best promotion they could get.

[joopschilp]

Don't forget you played a major role in the whole, while putting my attention to her performing here, and next to that, more importantly, you were my 'alibi' to make this movie, which I hadn't dared when sitting next to a stranger. Glad to have been able to be to your (and maybe more) assistance.

[Gudrun74]

I can imagine it's not easy in the NL not to get lost in the abundance of great concerts you are offered all the time. And your absolutely unique concert halls build the perfect frame. First, I found it a pity that this concert wasn't TV broadcast, whereas they bore us with whatever sports event. But on the other hand, I'm happy these concerts are not totally over-commercialized yet. At least we have the encore videos here, that's quite sth :-) Thanks again. I love comparing different versions.

Thank you for recording this!

Excellent - I love her !
