P.-s.) Sorry, can't rate from my cell. Of course seven stars, or more! ;))

[Thrax1982]

Don't forget to rate later when you're at your computer, it seems this video needs it, someone has been naughty with the ratings...

It can't be the music...

Is something seriously wrong with the singing? Help me here, like I've said many times before I don't have ear for such things.

[minuicch]

The voice of singer is too vibrant and not perfectly in tune...

Sorry...but t is very strange that you have not ear for such things, considering that you hear thousand of pieces of music !!!

[Thrax1982]

I have no talent whatsoever for music.

Well, the vibrato I could hear but I just don't care about it. But whether something is in tune or not is just deep mystery for me. I have no talent for music whatsoever, I could say that my brain is just not wired in that way...

[ALEXANDRISCARLATI]

Note Divine!

Meravigliosa Iterpretazione!

Grazie!

[benburma]

This is beautiful! Thank you! Ben Brown

Aria sublime del Grande Bononcini. Non so se lo sapevate, ma pare che alcuni brani strumetali di danza di Giovanni Bononcini del suo POLIFEMO siano stati presi ed adattati non poi molto da Telemann. Comunque Bononcini degno rivale di Handel!

[divasperanza]

Oh, la la!!! Please don't be talking in such way!!! That sounds... someone in depression, and you make me sad.

:(((

I wanted to ask you how to make musical sheets in hearing those pieces!!!

Cannot believe that you can't ;)))

To my eyes, surely you can speak Chinese as easily as playing some instrument / making music on the paper!!!

You are specialist also in computer but you said me you're not, so :))

;)))

[Thrax1982]

I mean that I could rather learn to speak Chinese than learn to play some instrument or to learn to notice whether something is in tune or not. If I listen to a piece of music I can't even tell in what key is it written, the fact that some people can is complete mystery to me.

For me, music and making music is something utterly and completely incomprehensible. I guess you could compare it to being color blind.

[divasperanza]

Sorry for my slowness!

I've heard, heard, especially the theme!! Personally loved it. Of course

this siciliana is "meisterstuck" ;)

Rated 5 stars, because there are only 5 and not 7 :'(

Singing? First, Jacobs can miscast?? No!

In tune or not? I loved her higher notes: so precise, simply beautiful.

And her timbre, articulation, manner of singing :D

Dear Thrax1982, why "I have no talent for music whatsoever"??

You are joking! If so, the others have not any talent for anything!!!

[divasperanza]

I see, dear Thrax1982! Sorry, I took a sleep (of course,

it was time!) after my latest comment.

Oh, incredible!

Someone reply (replies?) to your request in my place.

That was necessary for her for some reason? :)) But mannerless.

Now I'm outside of my office but cannot yet get

to my usual computer, so please, wait a moment! :)

[BarbaraPloyer333]

The music seems perfect. Five stars from me, as usual.

Perhaps someone didn't like the singing.... it  seems pretty good to me- at times it can be a a bit weak, though- like at 1:56. The rating's sure to go up, so don't worry. I don't think any of us those that constantly follow your channel would give you a bad rating- unless they're seriously critical or plain old mean. =)
