  • Great!!!... and how could people say that de Niese does a great job with this aria?: If she perform this aria in front of Kozena, Massis, and Piau she would go straight to her home crying like a little baby girl.

  • Agreed, although I don't love Kozena...she ruined the da capo by going to far.

  • Oh my god, I've been now listening to several renditions of this aria, and I think I finally reached the top. This is simply the best to my ears, followed by Bartoli, Massis, de Niese, and Kozena. I simply had to listen to all these great ladies in order to erase from my head that horrid one from Florida.

  • De Niese?

  • Piau always transmits me a feeling of Barock'n'roll

  • @eradesso To me, that's the more accurate list.

    1) Kathleen Battle

    2) Sills

    3) Massis

    4) Swenson

    5) Kozena

    And yes, Bartoli or De Niese shouldn't figure in any serious top list of anything.

  • i love this!

  • Sublime interprétation de Piau !!! mais il ne n'y oublier le concerto Koln et R. Jacob !!!!!!!

    Car le même aria avec Piau & Christophe Rousset est loin d'être aussi sublime !!!!

  • Piau rox! I recommend her rendition of "brilla nell'alma" as well.

  • I like Piau's perfectly controlled aggressivity in this aria. I, too, think it's one of the best versions you can now hear on youtube. "Barock and roll", yes!

  • Check out Roberta Alexander with Harnoncourt .. Less rigid, more lyrical than Piau and others mentioned here.

  • damn, E mj. bravo to those fearless hautboys.

  • well, the person who updloaded it is (quite rightly) a big fan of hers and put it in the description. I'm sure Sandrine Piau has no time for posting her own videos on here :-) when she'd much rather people went into a shop and actually bought the CDs. I love Dam-Jensen too, she's great.

  • Why is it noted then in the description?

    I think Masterson and Dam-Jensen do it best. I love Kozena, but she was pretty miserable as Cleopatra.
