"fia --------ma" Oh yah, I see what you mean. I guess you're refering to the one at 1:43 (not yet at 1:30) or else the one at 1:54. (re-appears at 1:54 & 2:11) it's like a bold and stretched trill (or turn? what's it called?). Strangely enough, this is the last part that I learned to do correctly, and now I'm proud of it. So now, that you brought it to my attention, every time I sing that portion I'll be reminded of you.
Baroque opera aria generally have 6 lines. The first 3 lines get 1 tune, the 2nd 3 get another tune and then the first section returns with embellishments. The B section in this aria begins with "Ed in tacita", you will hear the music is different(around 1:30). I love how she says fiammmmmaaaa :)
I love her voice and style. Beautiful. Got to hear her sing the Messiah in
Denver several years ago. Making Oberlin proud :).

Your welcome!
Don't you just love the b section?

I don't know what you mean by "the b section" but I love that whole section.
I'm adding it to my repertoire.
