Aria from "Serse" sung by
Anne-Marie Rodde
ATALANTA
Dira che amor per me
Piagato il cor non gli ha.
Ma non gli date fe
Ch'egli fingendo va.
Dira che amor per me, ecc.
SERSE (recitativo)
Voi quel foqlio lasciate a me per prova
ATALANTA
(Bella frode, se giova!)
SERSE
Itene pure.
ATALANTA
Ma vi ricordo...
SERSE
E che?
ATALANTA(aria - contin.)
Dira che non m'amo
Che mai per me langui.
Ma non credete, no
Che fingera cosi.
Dira che non m'amo, ecc.

Which one is singing the part of Serse? There's a few different names in the description, and ONE voice OTHER THAN Atalanta.

The main character here is Atalanta (Anna-Marie Rodde), who is singing aria to the second one - Serse (Carolyn Watkinson in this role).
(so, this OTHER voice is mrs Carolyn Watkinson)
