@operagirlify The words are:
Tornami a vagheggiar! te solo vuol amar quest'anima fedel, caro mio bene.
Gia ti donai il mio cor; fido sera il mio amor, mai ti saro crudel, cara mia spene.
Or, in English: "Return to me with longing; this faithful soul wishes to love thee alone, my dear beloved. Already I have given thee my heart; my love will be faithful, never will I be cruel to thee, my dear hope!"

If Joan is playing Morgana in this production I'm curious who's playing Alcina...
-
Not my favorite of hers. She seems to be persistently behind. However she is still...amazing. I tink Nathalie Dessay owns this nowadays.
-
My vocal score (a 19th cent. reprint) has two versions of the recit before this aria, so that either Alcina or Morgana can sing it.

We miss you miss Sutherland!

I love Joan's juicy singing of Handel! The sound is so full and sumptuous, compared with the so-called period voices. For such a substantial voice, it is yet a further miracle that Joan could throw of the ornaments with such prodigous flexibility and style. In his writing for the voice, Handel showed an extraordinary gift for melody and form. This is why so many singers love the Handelian repertoire, as challenging as it can be at times, and find it so rewarding to sing.

What I think is interesting is that Dame Joan's voice had become much "heavier" by this stage in her career than it had been, and yet it still maintained its flexibility and beauty. Brava La Stupenda!

The aria was given to Strada, the original Alcina, to placate her after the success of the Morgana, Mrs. Young! The recitative before it, "Tiranna gelosia dell'amato Ruggier tormenta il core" makes the aria refer perfectly to Ruggiero, Alcina's love and nothing n the text is specific to the character of Morgana. And with Joan Sutherland in the cast, would you really want someone else to sing it?
