  • It sounded like the chorus at the end was too busy with the orgy to keep the conductor's tempo

  • This is the version of this staging that should have been released on DVD. Normally I love Cecilia Bartoli's work but not on this material. That DVD was a huge disappointment. A light hued voice like Rosemary Joshua's suits this music much better than Bartoli's husky Mezzo tones.

    There is a CD recording of Semele featuring Ms. Joshua on the Chandos Early Music Chaconne label. It's well worth having.

  • I love SO MUCH the nude body, so human, so natural... I loved this stage version! :o)

  • Interesting to see Joshua staying on the red carpet while the diva Bartoli obviously insisted on coming to the front!

  • lovely interpretation. very playful. Thanks for the upload
