She's definitely the most seasoned Semele EVER. I still count her performance in Aix-en-Provence the best, however. I also think her recording is pretty much the definitive edition. Here in this performance, she sounds just a tad bit less secure in G at the modern pitch. I think she might've sounded better by singing in F, instead.
Susan Bickley is fantastic, I love, she is really talented. Rosemary Joshua, well I have seen Carolyn Sampson play Seleme and she wins on performance. Rosemary Joshua isn’t right for this part – sorry to Rosemary Joshua fans....
She is the best!

Gosh, she seems perfect for it to me--the best Semele I've ever seen or heard.

And of course, Ms Joshua is stunning as always! The only version musically/vocally I've heard as charming is La Sills!
