Connolly sings very well!
Her timbre is not as full as Paula Rasmussen's, though.
-
It's quite funny, that in the years in which Connoly sang the Xerxes in the revival of the older ENO production, originally casted with Ann Murray, Murray sang it in a new production (in italian) at the munich opera house.By the way, still with Christopher Robson as Arsamene like in the original ENO production.

antmusique, thanks very much for this. It is a pity the recording seems a bit muffled, but it is fun to be able to see what is going on by looking at the (excellent) Ann Murray clip of the same production. Connolly has said that Murray is a role-model of hers. One can see why.
-
I have the Murray video so I'll have a look at it again and let you know what is happening.
-
Yay, thank you! The translation works very well with the music - even sounds like Italian at times! Thanks, antmusique. :)
-
I just checked out the Murray video - thanks for the pointer! It's interesting to see what the production looks like.
I keep going back to the DiDonato clip as well. She's fierce and wonderful.

Oh, this is an ENO production! So no wonder I couldn't hear 'crude furie' etc. in the lyrics! Nice translation, though, that goes with the rhythm of the music - although I can't make out more than a few words in it. (Has ENO continued with the English subtitles today?) Nice, brisk pace set up by Harry Bicket.

Someone posted the lyrics in the Ann Murray clip:
Rise ye Furies from baleful abysses
Come bespatter me with your foul venom
Spray me with venom!
Heav'n is blackened
By fiercesome eclipses
Which proceed from the wrath in my bosom.

Thanks for this, antmusique!. She does a fine job, but I have to say I still prefer Paula's version . I adore Connelly, but for whatever reason, her sound sounds trapped in the back of her throat and I'm missing her usual lovely resonance. It's interesting hearing all these fine singers tackle this aria. I'm going to see Susan Graham as Xerses in May and am curious to see what she does with it. Again, thanks for posting.

I think the recording doesn't help much... The sounds seems to be very muffled.
