Da Tempeste il legno infranto: Louise Alder

[@maudmillar]

it's absolutely insane that she didn't win this.

[@paulpadillo4591]

A "sparkly" aria often used as a showcase, but here . . . but here capturing the emotions of Handel's Cleopatra about as perfectly as I've ever heard. And, with no lack of dazzlement. Stunning phrasing, coloratura, thrilling trills and command of style. Brava!

[@Keiwon.X.Lambert]

Such an exciting voice! I applaud like, everything... with her technique, musicality, stage presence and presentation of acting. Brava! I could be silly, but I sense a bit of influence from Cecilia Bartoli in the presentation. Maybe it’s some of the phrasing and the brilliant top register.

[@barbaranorthwood]

Great clarity and agility. My favourite in the competition.

[@taylorhawley616]

Great control in the coloratura passages, runs, etc. A wonderful soprano. Excellent control of her voice.

Magnifique! One of my Best Songs as is many a Skipper/Captain no doubt...finding a Safe Port during or B4 a Storm/Hurricane/Typhoon... Louise You sang this tune 'Spectaculary' well done Lass - not forgetting the Orchestra & All involved. This performance deserves a Large "Rum Coffee or Cafe au Rhum" perhaps? Thanks for posting and Good Luck Lass even during these difficult times for All involved with the Arts - as us Sailors/Seafarers would say "Safe Passage".

[@PauloBerndt]

Wow! Superbe voix, quelle beauté, quelle splendeur! J'espère la voir dans les grands rôles de Handel: Alcina, Cleopatra, Rodelinda, Partenope, Ginevra ...

[@CaptainSeaCelt]

Bien dit et beaucoup Entre Nous est bien d'accord...

[@chrigrue]

Great singing art and acting skills come together. Glad to live in Frankfurt and able to see and hear Ms. Alder regularly.

[@christiaandhooghe]

Please Louise Alder, I'm so hoping for a disc with Haendel ariás from you!

[@annaclarebartlett6654]

Just wonderful. Pure joy in that performance. Thank you for sharing. Absolutely bowled over by her ornaments in the da capo. Such control. So inspiring.

[@christiaandhooghe]

More more moreeeeee!!!! Your such a wonderful musician. And Handel suits your voice like a glove. Very beautiful!🌹

[@robbinconner9061]

VOCE SIMILE A C BARTOLI BRAVISSIMA LOUISE

[@catarinaal785]

OMG you're amazing 👏 💖

[@cmauer1658]

Did see her as Cleopatra several nights ago in Vienna (with a much much better orchestra). Simply fantastic

[@kahlilhenry7996]

Can you post a video of her singing La speranza all' alma mia grida e dice from Giulio Cesare Handel.

[@vitorhaase7821]

Da tempeste il legno infranto Se poi salvo giunge in porto Non sa più che desiar Così il cor tra pene e pianto Or che trova il suo conforto Torna l'anima a bear Da tempeste il legno infranto Se poi salvo giunge in porto Non sa più che desiar Così il cor tra pene e pianto Or che trova il suo conforto Torna l'anima a bear

[@ciociosan]

Brava!

[@thierrylz]

Brava !!!! Superbe , Handel vous va comme un gant de velours !

[@JacquesOeslick]

[@myronbreckinridge9184]

Iurii Samoilov is a much greater artist. He was totally robbed.

[@albertogatti6262]

Voce piuttosto bella ma tecnica ancora da rivedere... inutili poi i sovracuti che tendono a stimbrare. Molto da curare poi nella dizione italiana. Voto di sofferta sufficienza. Mi dispiace.

[@giancarloarnaboldi9544]

Le agilità sono fastidiosamente aspirate. Gli acuti degli strilletti petulanti. (Squittisce?) Mediocrissima

[@myronbreckinridge9184]

This Adler just skates by on the beauty of her voice and the smoothness of her technique. As an artist she is totally mediocre.

[@darlenemoak63]

More than one negative comment should be banned.

[@rhanemcquain3853]

Yes bc the beauty of one’s voice and “smoothness of technique” has absolutely NOTHING to do with artistry. ^sarcasm
