"Parto, ma tu, ben mio", Aria sung by Diana Montague(SESTO) with The London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrew Davis:
SESTO;
Parto, ma tu ben mio,
Meco ritorna in pace;
Saro qual piu ti piace;
Quel che vorrai fato.
Guardami, e tutto oblio,
E a vendicarti io volo;
A questo sguardo dolo
Da me si pensera.
Ah qual poter, oh Dei!
Donaste alla belta.
Very, very beautiful rendition. And the acting is very, very nice and subtle and dramatic where it needs to be!

Is the volume very low on this? I've turned everything up my end! Anyway, 5 stars, I'm learning this. Diana has a lightish mezzo voice? I am told this part might suit me so am just looking around at other people's. Any comments welcome.

Montague sounds great and acts well, but her outfit is ridiculous; a breatplate does not make a dress any less a dress, and a dress is definitely not befitting for this role. Ashley Putnam, on the other hand, looks absolutely gorgeous as Vitellia, and the way she slinks across the stage is very seductive. I love the way they interact.

Diana Montague is amazing as Sesto in this production. Have it on DVD and it's one of my favourites.
