This is the great aria "Qual guerriero in campo armato" by Riccardo Broschi, originally composed to display the vocal wonders of his brother Carlo, the famous castrato "Farinelli" who lived in the 18th century.
Vivica Genaux sings this terrific masterpiece of rapid vocalization with a supreme command of vocal technique. I recently listened to Miss Genaux singing this aria live and i can assure you that she gave me goose-bumps from the beginning to the end! enjoy!

  • How lucky we all are to be able to hear someone as incredible as Vivica singing the most difficult repertoire ever written for the human voice and sounding wonderful at it! Thank you Vivica for giving us innumerable hours of pleasure and joy!

  • This is an aria written by Riccardo Broschi that was used by Vivaldi in is pasticcio opera Bajazet. It is not a Vivaldi aria, it was only used by him.

  • @SkateNater ... hi guy! i used to skate at the roxy - 515 w 18th st - nyc - i think i made that comment after a pitcher of sangria or margaritas at tortilla flats - i used to do semiramide at the met - they can't do that anymore - not able to get enough bel-cantos plus - everyone likes laboheme - do you play violin ? ...

  • @voceangelo andrea bocelli thanks, so "fuck you andrea BOCELLI, you can't sing like this" ok so?

  • @suzanneramdane

    Maybe you don't know, but Bocelli is a man.

  • Vivica, marry me !!! PLEASE !!!!!!!!

  • @suzanneramdane Bocelli, not "botitcelli".

  • Eine grottenschlechte Aufnahme, leider.

    Aber ein wunderbares Beispiel dafür, was uns mit dem Niedergang des Bel-Canto und der variationsreichen Aufführungspraxis der Aria de Baule verloren gegangen ist.

    Danke für diesen Upload.

  • Professionnelle...

  • What a remarkable difference between this voice and that of a Baroque singer such as Maria Cristina Kiehr. Kiehr sings with voci bianché, whereas Genaux has a very pronounced vibrato. Quite an "acrobatic" aria that, I'm sure, is very difficult to sing.
