  • Plaintive and moving phrasing that seems at first honest and without some characteristic affectations.

    Those weren't Handel embellishments (3:45 etc)..stranger still is that rather than building the image of a pure heart horrified and scandalized by the prospect of being raped & prostituted, she sounds orgasmic!

    Suddenly the "take me, oh take me" has a new meaning.

    This might be the danger of being the self-aware possessor of a beautiful voice: ignoring the operatic oratorio context/plot.

  • AMAZING!! especially from 3:40 to the end.  Nobody has or every will have such a beautiful voice. AMAZING!!
