I can't get enough of her voice singing Hándel... can you? If you share my feelings, enjoy and feel free to post your opinion. By the way, this aria belongs to Sesto, in the opera Giulio Cesare in Egitto.
It's beautiful, of course. I like Kozena's voice very much too, but it sounds better if you listen to it without any connection to the IMAGE! Actually, it's a man's aria, Sesto's who was a teenage SON, and Kozena sounds too femininine, especially making all those beatiful embellishments in the 3d part which more resemble a mature woman's singing or at least a teenage DAUGHTER's. It was written for a woman but nowadays it's more logical be sung by countertenors. Best versions are Spanos, Cencic!

I like more Tuva Semingsen's version of this aria.

Yes I do like her voice very much. I wish that she will come to the Netherlands. Then I can listen to her life.
