THE BEST Rodelinda! Bravissima!

[@NotSoDivineMsM]

For this opera, Antonacci reigns supreme.........

Absolutely perfect Handel singing. She manages to articulate the ornaments whilst remaining totally connected to the line, and nuances the phrases with such passion and musicality. Seen her live a couple of times and totally in love with her singing, such a great instrument

Es maravillosa 😊

She has such a magnificent presence!, even now with her voice not at her high, you can FEEL. Not so many singers have that. If she retires from singing an acting career should not be anything else but a great step for her.

This is one of Antonacci's most beautiful demonstrations of singing. Such a nobility, musicality and style, besides this unique timbre of hers, that fit this elegiac aria ideally.

[@jovi1715]

Yes! I only regret she didn't try other Cuzzoni roles, like Cleopatra, Asteria, Teofane, Costanza...

[@thebarroque]

Brava!

I was sent here from the Sutherland recording of the same aria. This is thoroughly laudable singing with, of course, perfect Italian. But Sutherland - even with unidentifiable language - is a MIRACLE.
