To each his own - to me this is close to perfection, as well as an example of wonderful technique and control.

@magghot: I find it disrespectful to Gheorghiu to even post a video out of sync with the tune. You should withdraw it and re-post the corrected version. She deserves better treatment than this, given that this rendition is by a wide margin the best available on youtube: seamless musicality, exquisite technique, evocative power...

Well, I seem to be the lone person here because of Antichrist...Don't go into that film unprepared :/

[TheSaphire69]

As someone else has said, it's Handel not Puccini.

Check out Marilyn Horne's version if you want to hear it done well.

なんでこんなに音を外すのか？

全部高いぞ。特に高音域では高すぎて音痴になってる。

Marveilleuse: deixe que eu lamente minha sorte cruel...

[MadameBorgi]

Muy malo, esta soprano es pucciniana o verista no sabe cantar esto tan delicado, os pongo como ejemplo a una de entre muchas sopranos actuales que lo cantan bien como Patricia Petibon, escuchen!!!!

[MadameBorgi]

Canta demasiado fuerte, y su voz es muy gruesa para este tipo de papel tan delicado que necesita de pianisimos tan evidentes. Para un Puccini va bien, pero para barroco nada de nada. Muchos y muchas se empeñan en cantarlo todo en plan verista cuando existen muchos estilos en el canto....puede pecar de ignorante.

@insanecaine :Let me weep over my cruel fate,is what this is about my friend.It is tragic,Angela does a good job here.Also onYT are Pat Petibon,Suzie Le Blanc(coloratura sopranos) and the mezzo Cristina Lordachescu.These are renditions which capture the emotion.The sweet and light renditions..Becky Jane,Hayley are just hard to take!! Spend a bit of time onYT listening to the various..and of course decide for yourself.
