  • Who's conducting? Band?

  • The Accademy of St. Martin in the fields under Sir Neville Marriner

  • The soprano sounds fabulous (of course I don´t mean the alto isn´t fine, ok?). Anyway I like this kind of airs or duets more like adagio than andante or so, I mean, the slower the better.

    Nowadays baroque music is usually played faster, I know, but an air such as "Erbarme dich", from The Passion According To St. Mathews, by J.S.Bach, for example, SHOULD NEVER be performed fast. (Just a poor opinion of mine.)

    Thanks for having posted this here.

  • And thans to you for comment!! :)

  • Using this to practice for college auditions. haha it's the only one I could find in the right key as well. haha yay for counter-tenors ;D

  • Beautiful. I love Ms McNair's voice - it's so crystal clear and pure.

  • I am so glad I found your channel!!! I was looking for this song, and of all the choices, I clicked on yours...and have found a channel devoted to my favourite music!!! <3

  • Overall quite nice, but I don't like the seemingly unrestricted play with embellishmentsin the soprano part...It's over done...In contrast the alto part comes across a little boring and unengaged...Still, certainly one of the better versions of this aria...

  • Beautifully sung!

  • So check out Leontyne Price and particularly Marion Anderson for a slower pace.

    Love the soprano. That tinkling bells tone.

  • i totally agree, but some of the phrases are so hard to sustain... lol
