Yeah but this is LIVE. LIVE! ...Sorry I just can't believe that anyone would do this live. She's an animal (in the best way)!

[Anibaal]

Fa!! impresionante coloraturas.

[BWV1906]

[amatorynumber]

[dialectgirl]

This is excellent! Thank you for the upload. :)

Despite the slight differences I would still say this is still a decent recording.

Are you sure this is Vivaldi? This is an aria from Idaspe by Riccardo Broschi, isn`t it?

[wienerfr]

Indeed it was first composed by Broschi, but Bajazet is a pasticcio in which Vivaldi used arie composed by others like some Neapolitan composers.

[macdonald59]

yes, of course it is ...Bajazet is a Vivaldi's pasticcio with music of Broschi, Giacomelli , Hasse and , of corse Vivaldi himself

[FoxyGrandpa]

I can't believe this was done live. Wow.

[smnole]

actually best mezzo-soprano (most effective) performing baroque nowadays...

I've seen her some time ago & she sung this aria perfectly...pure gold...

Thanks for posting it here!

Indeed Stanley, her singing is a revelation!! I've heard her 2 times on stage with this aria, 8 minutes of pure extasy.

I find she has even improved her skills! Will attach a response video.

Thanks to wienerfr for uploading. Oh, it's all SO fascinating ...

[wienerfr]

I do agree with you. She improved her skills and it is also the case of the whole cast. I saw them in Montpellier in July 2006, in October 2007 in Venice (except Romina Basso replaced by Daniela Barcellona) and in Paris on March the 25th. At each time it was pure pleasure and even better.
