  • I think this is exquisitely sung, but the fortepianist is just out of this realm with some idiotic realizations. Plunk plunk kerchunk through most of the piece, with a Mozartian/Haydnesque flourish at the end that made it sound more like Papageno than Handel made it almost unbearable. It makes me want to know what was on the rest of the recital. Had it been classical and romantic German lieder, I could be more forgiving.

  • Absolutely stunning!!! I'm not sure wether the text have been published before but I hope it is the right words. Händel: Verdi Prati (Alcina.): Verdi prati, e selve amene Perderete la beltà. Vaghi fior, correnti rivi, La vaghezza, la bellezza, Presto in voi si cangerà. E cangiato il vago oggetto, Allorror del primo aspetto Tutto in voi ritornerà.

  • e, alla fine, cadenza mozartiana

  • @amatorynumber clearly, you can do better

  • It's important to note that Handel had a long colaboration with contralto castro Senesino, which accounts for the perfect marriage between Andreas' voice and Handel's music. Andreas even has a CD titled Andreas sings Senesino.

  • love it ! Totally showed me up man ! Good job ! :)

  • etrange?? Je ne comprends pas le succès de cette voix contrefaite qui sonne comme une caricature de soprano.Of course amatorynumber i think like you!!!

  • too much pressure on his larynge, thats why it sounds a bit strange (my impression..) but its well done.. he knows how to use his voice ^^

  • I loved this song so much, Ive selected it to sing at my Jr. Recital.... great performance!

  • @MJimiD vorrei conoscerti di persona

  • if this is the most beautiful countertenor voice in the world I am the king of Persia. Sounds like a bloody cat... horrible As

  • Scholl is amazing. Händel wrote so much moving, great music!
