LES TALENS LYRIQUES



Dopo notte atra e funesta,
splende in ciel più vago il sole
e di gioia empie la terra.

Mentre in orrida tempesta
il mio legno è quasi assorto,
giunge in porto e 'l lido afferra.

After a dark and terrible night,
the sun shines more brightly in the sky
and fills the earth with joy.

My ship, having been almost engulfed
in the dreadful storm,
gains harbour and reaches the shore.

I heard the same encore at the Paris recital on Dec 9th, she was fantastic, even a little better than in Madrid. I absolutely agree with her particular quality in trills (on her recording too). After having listened to all other available Doppo notte, she is of course the winner. The whole recital was a lifetime experience.

4 ur eyes only, still under embargo, see here the dopo notto in Amsterdam as an encore:

I was there with another Handel addict.

Joyce, I love you:

You were the best Ariodante ever.

You recorded Furore

You're doing this tour.

You sing Dopo Notte on stage again.

You're such a delight for us Handel junkies!!!!!

[joopschilp]

I love her spontaneous introduction in her spanish /italian /english combi. There is one aria left to sing....just enough.

More aria's to be published here !!

I feel so incredibly blessed to live in the same time when this fabulous artist is singing and being recorded. I have seen her twice in concert now (Atlanta, New York City) and will be seeing her in 9 days in New York City again. And has had been said in other comments, beyond her amazing musicianship, her ability to integrate singing and acting on stage, her shining personality, it is her utter fearlessness that distinguishes her. Thank you, Joyce!

[muccide]

Bored after 3 bars!  And I blame Rousset!

[MGHall07]

her interaction with audience is adorable, and the singing is, of course, amazing. Brava!

@joopschilp I love this but I absolutely adore Janet Baker's!!

[cantanteporsiempre]

There´s only one thing I don´t like, the size of her voice, even for Handel.

[dreamcritic]

fabulous. pristine. nothing more needs to be said here <3

[sfkcbf]

Vocally and musically, one of the more successful of many available. Her da capo also is a Baroque delight. 5 stars to Handel for one of most dramatic and captivating arias. Many people try to sing it, but of course we no longer have the voices for which the aria was written, Carestini and then Conti; therefore, all the recordings lack the vocal focus, male timbre, and especially the extended breath capacity required for a more authentic perfromance. Regardless, Handel continues to enchant us.

as far as I love von Otter and Larmore it's always such a great pleasure and delight to my ears to listen to DiDonato in this aria. She is great and is getting better year by year.Great interpretation! Let's enjoy all good performances!

[dannymaestro]

Well, I prefer both von Otter and Larmore (she sings this at her Where shall I fly-album).

[taf44tt8io]

To Cantatoria. If you talk about "enlighten the musical structure" why you don't include the conductor, the brilliant Christophe ROUSSET ? SInce one month, I listen - almost every day - this wonderful aria, by DI DONATO - in her live version, with ROUSSET in Concertgebouw - by VON OTTER - with Mark MINKOWSKI, maybe the most beautiful record version - and, last but not least, by Vivica GENAUX, with Concerto KOLN.

[Cantatoria]

For preventing a misunderstanding, my commentary that begins with "I like..." was written before the one above and corresponds to the strengths of DiDonato (not Kasarova).
