I am not ashamed to admit I am addicted to this gentleman's singing. Absolutely stunning.

[@bobbiemay6867]

I have never heard such beautiful purity in a counter tenor voice as this.

[@naomihyamson9022]

Iestyn Davies is the most expressive and musical counter-tenor - indeed the best counter-tenor - that this country has ever produced. I first heard him towards the start of his career and was entranced by the beauty of his voice. And I felt sure that he was going places! Thank you for your art, Mr Davies. I am a singer (mezzo-contralto) and have learnt so much from you

[@williammountfield8508]

Not just the country but the world has produced.

[@ГеннадийКозлов-д1ю]

Невероятный голос! Талантище настоящий! Спасибо Европе за великолепных композиторов и соответствующих исполнителей! Спасибо

[@НаталияКаюкова]

И у нас есть истинные таланты-контртеноры: Михаил Широченко, молодой, но такой яркий и потрясающе пластичный.

[@ГеннадийКозлов-д1ю]

@@НаталияКаюкова ну ничего себе! Спасибо вам. Так бы, наверное, и не узнал, что есть такой исполнитель.

[@daviddavenport9350]

Handel just turned out amazing aria after amazing aria.....top 10 hits almost every time! The very greatest tunesmith who ever lived....and listen to the responses and timbres of the orchestra....nor Bach, nor Telemann, noe Hasse , nor A Scarlatti ever did anything this integral and musically moving....

[@shadbolt4687]

Couldn't agree more.

[@franr.3691]

Exact! Bach didn't know how to compose arias, he was not a good melodist. Handel was the supreme master of the genre, lots of sublime arias, no one beats him.

[@Nacidodelmar]

What an interesting and beautiful contratenor voice and I did not know him. Such a delightfull!

[@soirsagrey]

Goosebumps!! Such a sweet voice. I could listen to this all day.

[@kaloarepo288]

How this aria creates a sense of loss and longing is amazing!

[@marklewis9754]

He sings this aria beautifully. Apart from the beautiful melody and moving orchestration I also love the wandering, lost feeling created by the strings at the start.,

[@leighellington21]

BEAUTIFUL!! So delicate and how your voice carries... just beautiful!!

Какой талант, какое чудесное пение. Джастин, ты гениален!

[@serenaluce]

Such a beautiful and original rendition! Great coloratura! So light and delicate in the second part! Never heard anything even close to such vocal embellishments in this aria in the 3rd part! Fantastic!

[@richardmurray7505]

What a beautiful voice, especially the middle register.

[@eunjoolee9585]

부드러움과 깊이와 열정이 느껴지는 그의 음색에서 빠져나오기가 힘듭니다.

Это лучшее исполнение Cara sposa.

[@dongato17101979]

It's so beautiful.

[@andrewbennett2504]

Such a shame that many consider Handel's operas a bore - full of delights such as this.

[@wilhelm-z4t]

Only a philistine could consider Handel's operas a bore.

[@juliettechristian3132]

Bravo!

[@bramoditrionfar]

Wonderfully sung and played. But I couldn't help finding funny the way the conductor keeps tempo with his ears...

[@lizzyborg]

Wonderful!
