  • So much magical notes ...

  • Your video presentation is just brilliant.

  • Creepy pictures.

  • 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!

  • 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....

  • Expléndida, muy hermosa :)))))

  • "Slow yet demanding".... well, slow IS demanding too ;)

  • Best EVER!!!!!!!!!

    Although she was special in Traviatas and Normas...her Alcina was so DIVINE.

    Brava La Stupenda.

  • @christiaandhooghe

    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.

  • @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.

  • BRAVA!

  • Beautiful video!

  • 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!

  • Happy Birthday Dame Joan! Thank you for all the many lovely moments you have given us. God bless you.

  • Davvero un bel video! Sutherland forever!

  • Αριστούργημα!

  • Great video agathosj......btw, very appropriate for Alcina.

  • 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.

  • Thank you for helping me understand why I am so attracted to Handel's music.
