It's beautiful, of course. I like Kozena's voice very much too, but it sounds better if you listen to it without any connection to the IMAGE! Actually, it's a man's aria, Sesto's who was a teenage SON, and Kozena sounds too femininine, especially making all those beatiful embellishments in the 3d part which more resemble a mature woman's singing or at least a teenage DAUGHTER's. It was written for a woman but nowadays it's more logical be sung by countertenors. Best versions are Spanos, Cencic!

I like more Tuva Semingsen's version of this aria.

Yes I do like her voice very much. I wish that she will come to the Netherlands. Then I can listen to her life.
