Al lampo dell'armi - Janet Baker - ENO production

[FainadeFerro]

sung in english ti's really horrible...

I love Janet Baker's voice but hasn't the interpretation of Handel's arias come a long way in the last 25 years. An English translation takes away the musicality of the piece. Kind regards, NimrodJohn2009

Eh, I far prefer this to Caesar walking around in a suit ... or Cleopatra showing off her Bollywood moves ... but maybe that's just me.

For me, the funniest thing about this video is the subtitles. They don't match what's being sung at all! "Death him!"??? Hahahaha!

@90lysander Hello, no, it's not just you, I too hate these modern productions of historical themes, I simply don't get it.

An interesting retrospective how barroque was interpreted decades ago.

That's about the nicest way to put it.
