This is actually from Handel's "Guilio Cesare" and the character who sings this is Cleopatra after being imprisoned...there is no sorceress involved in this particular Handel opera ;)

[thecelticinme]

Yes, but this production is actually called "The Sorceress" - a Handel celebration... several arias from several operas.

Leontyne Price's version, made at age 51, is well worth comparing.

[thecelticinme]

te kanawa was 50.

[angelitornado]

Totally agree with you. No one better as far as I'm concerned.

[AMIGORRO2000]

This interpretarion is really amazing. In fact, all this work called THE SORCERESS is great. No one like Dame Kiri.

Sencillamente: ¡MARAVILLOSO!!!

[Yuccini]

i like Kiri Te Kanawa a lot but I found this interpretation so so... although it shows her great musicality and her perfect technic.

[wotanman]

Kiri found her best, most dramatically commited free spirited singing in her 50's. That's the ideal career culmination for a soprano.

[Voixdvent]

دموع لقدري ،

حتى المعاملة القاسية والكثير من التاريخ ،

الحياة في صدره حتى لدي.

[Voixdvent]

Piangero la sorte mia, si crudele e tanto ria, finche vita in petto avro. Ma poi morta d'ogn'intorno il tiranno e notte e giorno fatta spettro agitero

[eimstudent]

Is it just me or is the accompaniment too loud?

[Musicsinger87]

This is a killer aria to try and sing..I'm working on it for my senior recital and the B section run is hard and she takes it at a neck breaking speed..good for her
