Strange voice... I could get used to it, but it's not ideal baroque singing. I must say the fast tempo is becoming of this aria.

Thank you, wienerfr, for this audio clip. I crossed the English Channel to go to Paris and hear this performance in 2005. I remember Christophe Rousset conducted concert performances of two Handel operas in one day at the Chatelet Theatre- Tamerlano in the afternoon and Alcina at night, both with distinguished casts. This aria was a particular highlight because of Silvia's unique lower register. It was a great trip to Paris!

Hello,
You were there too. Both Tamerlano and Alcina were great. It was my best Sunday of 2005 :o).

She brings her chest voice way up. Even though it is beautifully blended with her head voice, I wonder if it's really healthy in a long run. I find the tempo a bit too fast for her, but then I noticed before that Rousset seems really ruthless with insisting fast tempos beyond singers' ability. And the da capo ornaments were just unfortunate.

i dont know why she uses her chest voice so high, it sounds forced and stale.
one can admire her effort maby, but she's not a baroque singer.
and oh my god for expressing opinion.

I like her dark timbre and the hard accents in her voice.... although Santa Fe would be a better Bradamante than Ruggero

Raté! Il y a des problmes de justesse, l'interpretation est inexistente, les variations sont pas belles, elle hurle et l'orchestre n'est pas mieux... DOMMAGE!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
what is necessary to sing haendel is the dimension of a real STAR. She is maybe a good student but not a mature artist for Ruggero.
Who has choosen this cast for Alcina???
Not so good the variations in the b part of aria.
Orchestra is also often confused and has a lack of vitality, Handel is better than that...
