Thank goodness for this interpretation and booooo and hisss to the comments about preferring supposed correct period performance. This kind of bullsh*t leads to ballless anemic performances and are not even actually authentic.
Bonita aria y una de las más bellas voces de barítono del siglo pasado. Hay que destacar su espléndida dicción y su fraseo que lo convierten en uno de los mejores intérpretes de lied de todos los tiempos.
Wonderful voice, but the entire thing is simply too heavy-going. But then in the Fifties they didn't know any better - see the way Sir Malsolm Sargent murdered Handel's music!
The orchestra (esp. continuo) is lifeless... I guess they didn't really understand in the fifties how this kind of music was interpreted (notes inégales, ornamentation, etc). But sometimes it's hard to listen to older recordings because they had no idea about period performance practice.

Bravo Souzay for this great performance!

Gotta make a comment on the accompaniment...

c'est aussi un grand plaisir d'entendre cette splendide musique chantée par une vraie voix !
ce n'est certes pas le cas hélas de tout ce qu'on trouve d'autre de Lully sur YouTube ...

Remarquable !
Voilà finalement un répertoire qui lui convenait beaucoup mieux que le lied où dans bien des cas son style a vieilli !
Et sa diction est parfaite, élégante, efficace.
