Renata Tebaldi Piangero La Sorte Mia Handel Giulio Cesare

[CelloVoice]

That isn't Handel and Baroque performance at all...

DaCapo arias are two part arias! Slow part and Fast part or Fast and Slow mostly, but they can't be Slow + Slow part!! The written tempo for the second part of this aria is Allegro which even in the Baroque style means fast tempo! After all the text in the second part means "If I die, I'll come back and will harras you in your dreams..."... I can't understand at all who can't perform his part? The pianist or Tebaldi?

No offense, it's the truth!

So moving and convincing!  Very respectful of the score, like all truly great singers.

This is absolutely beautiful. I have quite a soft spot for Renata Tebaldi; my mother (who passed away just before Christmas) introduced her music to me when I was just barely walking. It's very emotional for me.....Thankyou so much for this clip.

La Tebaldi presta a Cleopatra un timbro che di per sé evoca bellezza e fascino. L'accompagnamento del solo pianoforte esalta il canto stesso ed i suoi colori che rivelano una copiosa abbondanza di tinte, smalti, iridescenze e sfumature. Perfetta è la gestione dei fiati, precisissima anche l'esecuzione delle battute d'agilità, il cui moderato rallentamento consente -tra l'altro- alla voce, di non perdere corpo e pregnanza, come in quest'aria accade per ogni altro soprano anche di coloratura.
