Yes, charming - but received as if one were some invited guest to an Edwardian soiree where, during the evening proceedings after 'tea and fancies' the adored host's daughter is regaled to do her piece in the parlour among other piano forte renditions, spoon playing and a conjuring trick or two given by other invitees. And, all to much demure merriment and respectful quiet applause.

@sadfissad i think she was very young in that recording, probably just a teen

@JMBC45611 I found it a little too slow. But lovely all the same.

idk but there is something that is bugging me about her voice. it doesnt have that vocal quality.
-
@nnosd Sure. SMH & RME.

@UncleTito72 Some classical performers ruin classical pieces. It is good to hear this piece sung so beautifully. I bet Handel would have been standing and clapping.
-
@EmilySoprano On an over-intensified, forced level. Hard to find fault with pure beauty unless you have been ill-trained.

@137Newton And where was she lacking in this performance? Perfectly tuned; never pushing her voice. I think she had one of the best naturally beautiful voices ever recorded. Many "classical" voices push their sound past loveliness trying make more sound and volume than is natural. "Professional" level is often bottom scum shouting.

Dame Julie Andrews is my vocal hero!

damn! this broad is annoying!
An incredibly pure voice.

I'm surprised that nobody has commented on this Handel aria for the past 4 months, sung beautifully by Julie Andrews. Almost as good as the versions by Andreas and Kathleen!
