su voz es musica en toda la esencia de musica y voz.........es el sonido del alma y de las pasiones....del amor y de los deseos y de las ilusiones....
Yes, her Alcina was divine, and largely over-looked or over-shadowed by the big bel canto roles. She made a huge impression singing Handel very early in her career. This recording demonstrates why, especially in Alcina, the melancholy undertones in her voice have great effect.
Wonderful I like your Theodorakis upload also--keep in mind (sorry to be politically correct) that Handel also wrote "Hail the Conquering Hero" to honor the butcher of Culloden--the Duke of Cumberland--but I love Alcina! Beautiful video!
Sutherland made a huge impression early in her career singing Handel. It's obvious why listening to this. There is a melancholy thread in much of Handel's music, and the colors of Sutherland's voice find that thread perfectly.
So much magical notes ...

I am jealous of the angels who will hear this voice forever! I'm sure they are asking her to sing this aria right now!

@Hako2004 Her way of singing Handel it seems to be still a standard.
There are not that much great REAL Handelian sopranos.
There a lot of them who sing Handel, but the phrasing etc....that was La Stupenda.
