The obligato imstrument for this magnificent aria is a basset clarinet, and yes, it gives ne the chills as well. Have you listened to Cecilia Bartoli singing it?? Her coloratura is perfect.
Not knowing this, I had a listen to other versions. This is quite distinct in style, with a (excuse my lack of technical language to express myself) less strident approach (both her & orchestra) with a sweeter tone. Yet despite the more restained & lyrical style is the ability to provide power & emphasis to rival any of the other versions - the range of emotion & tone therefore seems wider, so making piece all the more engaging. Others risk showing off technique to detriment of song's beauty.
i have to say that "Ah qual poter, oh Dei!

I have to say, in spite of the fact that Garanca is technically faultless, I find her singing deadly dull.
