I agree. To me, she is Britain's best soprano. I cannot think of anyone else of her standard in the UK ever. I think Lynne is way superior to the more, shall we say, marketed sopranos today. I cannot understand why she is not a big world sensation. She is up there with the best -Leontyne and Kiri. These ladies are of a previous generation though.

This is surely one of the loveliest arias ever written and Dawson, as expected, sings it exquisitely. What a delight. Thank you. I have the Academy of Ancient Music cd of the opera and I recommend it.

de verdad? la comparaste con Lucia POPP? yo creo que ella es la mejor intérprete de Mozart de todos los tiempos. A mi me gusta mucho esta inglesa (Dawson) cantando a Händel, es fantástica!

CUANDO ESCUCHE POR PRIMERA VEZ ESTA ARIA ME EMOCIONE BASTANTE, PERO ESTA SOPRANO HACE QUE TODAS NUESTRAS VIRTUDES FLUYAN POR TODO NUESTRO CUERPO, HE ESCUCHADO OTRAS ARIAS DE YOUTUBE PERO ESTA ES LA MEJOR.

There's a clarity about Lynne Dawson's voice that I absolutely love. This aria shows off her skills well :)
