Handel - Partenope "Furibondo spira il vento" David Daniels

[euraznsf]

I love following the sheet music - it really adds wonder to the work we listen to.

[MisterPapageno]

PS I would have palyed more with the repetion of the A part :)

[Jeffbear1]

Daniels is the CT equivalent in my mind to Bartoli a.k.a. the queen of agility. For a treat look up his duet with Bartoli "Scherzano sul tuo volto"... I want that played as I exit the chapel on my wedding day but only if it's sung by those two.

if anyone can sing that many bars of sixteenth notes in countertenor i will marry u

Sorry, posted the comment before it was finished:

I was lucky to see Daniels perform this in a recent recital. The audience was literally blown over. Finally someone who can do that in a masculine way. Bravo! This recording is excellent, too.

He is actually singing in Eb minor not E minor... not a big deal since he's a counter-tenor, not a true Mezzo but I'm curious as to which key was the original.  Baroque tuning was about a half step flat from modern tuning so if E minor was the original key then it would have sounded in Eb in the time period in which it was written.

[NedRorem]

The aria is in E minor. They're simply playing with the usual "baroque" tuning La=415 Hz

[amatorynumber]

@kvasir1814 well, actually he was singing Sesto at the beginning of his career. He is higher than many a countertenor... more a mezzo voice than anything else.

[mradaChris]

This is wonderful. The more and more I listen to DD the more I appreciate his voice! He is really good!

I saw last week Christine Rice singing this role at ENO and she, and the rest of cast, was FAB. This was the top aria of the night, and she have done it in a brilliant way.

I love u David Daniels!!! :)

[realegooo]

Muy buena, Daniels es mi contratenor favorito, tecnica perfecta, fuerza y delicadeza precisas! Se agradece

[Clavemaior]

Do you know Nuno Guerreiro?

He's a portuguese singer from "ala dos namorados" but he's also a classical singer.

He's a great countertenor.

Thanks for posting.

If someone is interested in more recordings of this aria, I've got a version with Philippe Jaroussky.

[civileso]

I sure am interested.. Thanks for your comment

[Clavemaior]

Thank you so much.

I prefer this version to the one with the countertenor.

Does anybody know about a 3CD pack of the entire Opera, buyable in Portugal?

Obrigada (thank you in Portuguese)
