Interesting in how many ways this piece can be performed! But, although I am a big fan of Emma Kirkby, there is nothing that can make my heart beat as Kiri Te Kanawa’s version of Exultate!
Hay mucha gente que no gusta de Emma Kirkby. Si no critican su timbre, critican la velocidad; si no es la velocidad, es su vestimenta.
La verdad es que hay que ser objetivo, y analizarla como la gran y magnífica cantante que es. Excelente coloratura, una voz uniforme entre graves y agudos, con soltura, gran interpretación, etc.
En ese sentido ella siempre es buenísima. Por algo se le considera la reina del barroco.
Actually the Milan version (the one with the pair of flutes) has a slightly different text compared to the more familiar version in addition to the difference in orchestration.
Not one beat too fast, as Mozart said to the Emperor.

Much too fast and the voice sounds on the throat to me - no overtone. This is not good singing.

i still prefer the sound/color of two hautboys instead of traversi on those parts.
