I've appreciated Blythe's career quite a bit until recently (Fricka); however in this music, it's obvious that her coloratura is counterfeit, aspirated and somewhat clumsy, though mostly on pitch.
With such a woody and rich tone, she could really redefine other roles that call for legato, money notes and vocal heft. I've seen her really deliver as Dalila and Amneris, roles that she seems to have dropped.

what a BEAUTIFUL voice...powerful top and low register...good flexibility and expressiveness. She's awesome.

Its too bad, you can tell that Blythe wants to speed this up, but the orchestra wasn't quite up to it. They're pretty uncoordinated at points. There is a CD of Bach and Handel arias that Blythe recorded that is better than this. Check it out!

For me the best version of this aria is by Della Jones . The voice is a bit fucked up but her English diction and characterization are mindblowing . It s available here on youtube , give it a try :)

Amazing range and flexibility. I have listened to others. I think this performance has its own merit.

I love this piece, it one of my favorite operatic pieces. However, her coloratura was rather unimpressive. But I found her lower extension to be very powerful, unlike many other female singers. It maintained its richness, cudos!!!

Ms Blythe is charming but to put her anywhere near the league of Marilyn Horne not only belittles both singers- it is patently ridiculous.

I think that she is phenomenal. Such power in the lower range.
