Who sings Vivaldi's "Vedrò con mio diletto" best?

[@orbitalsatellite]

Jakub Józef Orliński. So natural and beautiful. And the characterisation he brings out with his expressive eyes and mouth is perfection. He personifies the story. Wonderful!

I don't who is the best but this one is like the signature aria for Orlinksy. I like him the best.

[@OneOldRecipe]

Totally agree!!!

[@antoinesaintexupery3451]

Jakub sin duda!

I agree. I also like it at that pitch, and with less vibrato than some of the others

Orlinski-has the voice of an angel straight from heaven. He is my favorite.

[@christophebertossi7697]

Jaroussky's voice comes from a different planet, from the outerspace, unhuman pure sensitivity and beauty; Orlinski is a natural, he breathes each note and each word, and embodies Vivaldi as if it was easy. I really love both.

[@cindyj5522]

This is not a fair question and never is when listening to excellent artists. There is so much at play in the different versions that it is only a matter of taste rather than a comparison of skill. I prefer Jaroussky for the depth and timbre of his tone as well as the tempo of the performance. Other people's ears hear it differently, therefore they are drawn to a different performance. They are all wonderous and a gift to us.

[@lacynylons6317]

Jaroussky indeed 👌

[@margaritamorahan2439]

The only objection is that Jarousky says "l'aRma" when it's "l'alma"

[@margaritamorahan2439]

Alma means soul (in italianand spanish

[@margaritamorahan2439]

Arma= weapon

[@Piflaser]

Criticism has always been the little brother of arts.

[@robertooliveira6386]

The others sing the song, Orlinsky lives it, seems to be composing or improvising following his inner emotions and feelings. He inaugurates something different every time I hear it. In this aria, his inner self seems to suspend itself from the world. He is in Bergsonian duration.

[@Stan-j3j]

I think Jakub has started a new era on the countertenors' stage by retaining his masculine voice colour and still being a countertenor. Beautiful! By using the perfect combination of the head and chest voice flawlessly, he has become a revolutionary in the world of countertenors. He does not overuse vibrato, his vibrato became an artistic tool to add some colour, not only to relax the vocal cords. He knows that the highest quality of diction is paramount for top singers. On top of that, despite his success he remained a nice, humble and hardworking human being whose work may inspire others.

[@BedboundME]

Jakob is like listening to a Greek statue come to life and deliver a perfect rendition with a tone of liquid stone

[@joaoguimaraes5430]

They are all absolutely wonderful. As a personal preference... Jakub Józef Orliński.

[@leojones2917]

Jakub Orlinski by a very long way. His voice is one in a billion. The voice of an angel with the body of David. One of the most beautiful human beings ever.

All the singers are amazing,butJakub Josef Orlinski has a natural magnetism and the beauty of his personality and voice are enchanting,not emanating pride or pretence he is fascinating and great talent.

[@fernandsanchis9881]

Personnalités différentes, voix différentes, styles différents, mais tous avec une magnifique musicalité, et une grande profondeur de sentiment! Je les ai tous aimés, et tous m'ont ému! Heureux Vivaldi, d'avoir des interprètes aussi talentueux! Et heureux sommes-nous tous, d'avoir le privilège de pouvoir écouter sa sublime musique! Béni soit-il à jamais!

[@mangoshake]

All of them are elite in skill. The difference between Orlinski and the rest, though, is his mastery of chest and head voice. There is 0 transition as his ability to change between the 2 is ridiculous. Then there's his intelligent use of vibrato. When you're in an emotionally vulnerable state, your voice starts to shake. Orlinski's vibrato points in the song portray a heightened emotional state that sounds more like someone who is actually sad and vulnerable while speaking to you. The rest are just singing. Lastly, Orlinski is proficient in stress; the thing we learned in grade school about which syllable to put emphasis on. He drives the stress points in his verses home. In my opinion, those factors are why he's my favorite. I wrote this while listening to Jaroussky's version, since a lot of commenters like to compare the 2. I don't hate his version BTW. Orlinski's version is just my pick. P.S. maybe another reason why I pick Orlinski over Jaroussky is that Orlinski is better at pronunciation. Jaroussky pronouncing "vedro" as "vedru" kinda irks me.

[@christianetacke3260]

Philippe Jaroussky’s voice and interpretation are just heavenly.

[@tippikuppi]

Clarity! Unbealivable clarity!

[@skaarlner]

Jakub Józef Orliński is the voice of this song for sure

[@Sorrely1]

Orlinskis voice has something undefinable that suits this music so well. He has a mellow timbre and doesn’t overdo the vibrato or sound operatic . While the others are all incredible I think his voice suits Handel best.

[@carlingaszamora7069]

jakub has an angelic quality to his voice nobody can match

[@larrysherk]

Every singer has his own interpretation, so the idea of "who sings best" is just a reflection of the listener's preferences.

[@austinsmithson3148]

ALWAYS Jaroussky for this aria. Been a favorite of mine for years. Desandre's interpretation is lovely though; love her ornaments on the da capo.

[@GarenGregorian]

Orlinski had the best accompaniment in my view, so I always listen to the Orlinski version. All amazing singers though

[@rinar5643]

Philippe Jaroussky is still incomparable. Manuela Custer is a perfection as well.

[@rexkatorex]

I like Orlinski, Dessandre and Jaroussky because of their sensitive interpretation and excellent musicality. But, again, I have to say that Jakub Józef Orlinski is my favorite. The color of his voice is very warm yet incredibly lyrical. I his interpretation seems the most intimate to me.

Orliński's voice feels like dipping the whole body into the warm liquid....very rich and smooth, almost too comfortable to my ears. While Jaroussky's voice feels like soaring high in the sky, subtly expressing the sweet torment of love. I like Jaroussky.

[@loetje]

I think Jarrousky's ornamentation, phrasing, mesa di voce, tempo, legato, and high piano's are the best.

No doubt Orlinski he truly understands the pain and hope in Vivaldi’s music

[@joesoy9185]

All the voices are very good in their own right; of that there is no doubt. Regarding breath control, Lea and Sonia did not sing the first long phrase in one breath. Not only did Manuela sing it in one breath, it was at the slowest tempo of all. Brava to her for that. I also liked her ornamentation. As for the men, there will always be fans of both. Philippe sings more sweetly than Jakub, who sings more robustly. Personally, I prefer Philippe, but in the end, it's all a matter of taste. I enjoyed all the performances for different reasons. Thanks for posting this.

[@migueldominguez5009]

La mejor interpretación la tiene Philippe Jaroussky el tiene el don para cautivar con su delicado canto como si se lo dedicara a uno de nosotros ,su tesitura incomparable suave y a la vez poderosa un digno intérprete de las majestuosas arias de Antonio VIVALDI. 😌😌😌

[@carolciliberti-noaafederal1780]

I love these "who sings it best" things. In this case, Jakub gets the vote from me. His voice is clear as a bell and soaring, just absolute perfection. Even my husband called out from the other room that it was beautiful (high praise from that quarter). I love Sonia Prina, but this is not my favorite offering of hers. Jakub it is!!!

[@carolrose6319]

Hey, everyone, Carol C. is my exquisitely discerning niece. How could I disagree (even though I was very taken with Jaroussky's delicacy and precision?) But what most interests me about these "contests" is not so much the rivalry as the pleasure of hearing such different interpretations by such accomplished vocalists-- and instrumentalists too.

[@ash9475]

[@tatianaphilippova2903]

... goodness! They all brilliant! ... But just can't stop listening to Jakub... ... and one more to consider - Cecilia Bartoli. Also magnificent!

[@1celloheaven]

All fabulous singers...BUT ... I suspect that Jakub produces the sound imagined by the composer and was the first performer I ever heard singing this piece so he is embedded...Lea has an advantage because I've always had a crush on her as her voice melts my heart (you must have heard her singing 'lo piango' by De Bottis with Cecilia Bartoli !)...Phillipe's voice has such purity which makes me look up to the high vaulted ceilings of cathedrals...the brilliant Manuela and Sonia have, for this piece, in my humble opinion, too much vibrato and I hear them more readily singing livelier faster paced works with panache...nonetheless each one is a remarkable talent.

[@kaskoll7536]

It's not only about the singing, but about what comes across. My favorite is Jakub! Angel-radiation!

Jakub Józef Orliński i Philippe Jaroussky, to według mnie najlepsi wykonawcy muzyki dawnej ostatnich czasów. Jestem dumna z takiego Polaka, jak Jakub i gratuluję wyjątkowej pasji w tym rozkrzyczanym świecie pełnym szmiry. Głos pana Jakuba sprawia, że ulatujemy szczęśliwi do nieba, relaksujemy się, dziękujemy Bogu za taki dar. Co za rozkosz artystyczna ! Głos naturalny, który nie jest sztucznie rozbujany wyuczoną wibracją, nie forsowany. Pan Jakub znakomicie łączy dźwięki i rejestry, sprawnie wykonuje ozdobniki, ma nienaganną dykcję. Do tego jeszcze te ekspresyjne gesty nierozerwalnie związane z muzyką... Po prostu ideał. Jeszcze tylko chcę wiedzieć, czy równie dobrze tańczy 😊 ?

worth asking? Orlinski.

Reflective, perfectly effective and elegant. Go on this way, it's a wonderful one
