Cette voix est absolument extraordinaire. Quelle maîtrise, quelle puissance, que d'émotion. Fabuleux.

[@simonedemolder3464]

François Lebedel 😣. 0lus bellé la vîè

[@gumbo441]

I have not heard anyone sing this better. Beautiful!

[@luigisassoli3542]

Fantastica ! Sara Mingardo ogni volta che canta appare il sole tra le nuvole ...

[@Gaseoushead]

So much of the beauty in Händel lies in the simplicity.

[@robertjreynolds8292]

Has this song ever been sung with a more empathetic voice, better phrasing and with more fine emotion? I cannot imagine it...

[@izzyxiao2230]

Sarà Mingado is absolutely one of the best singers I have ever come across. The voice is extraordinary. From the bottom up to the top, one piece, its valvet quality is just amazing. She looks so humble, and never acts like a diva (at least from all I have seen so far) I wish the big companies such as DECCA can pay more attention to her, if they are serious about.talent. Grab her before it's too late.

[@gumbo441]

I still can't believe how beautiful that is.

[@tonymilgate9242]

neither can I - I absolutely adore it

[@Treziel74]

a dream! Mingardo is the best contralto voice of today, hands down! the emotion in her gorgeous voice is unmatched, please accademia degli astrusi make a Handel arie cd with this lady.

[@katzparov]

Incredible voice....WOW !! Absolutely beautiful.

[@alicjaalvena1120]

beautiful, one of the best contralto timbres i've heard. i'm generally more into dramatic sopranos, but she's amazing!

[@marcocito]

Une magnifique interprète! Grazie mille Sara!

[@KarolynRoseroPerez]

Maravillosa! Esta versión cantada por ella me conmueve en lo más profundo! Diosa!

[@carolineleiden]

Good one! Sometimes you are Lucky enough to get to hear a version that makes it all sound new. And finally an artist who is not ashamed of the fact that she is blind as a bat and just wears the goggles on stage too. :)

[@alconcerto]

The One. Sara can sing economics book and I will listen.

[@blithespiritny]

Brava ~ a lavishly beautiful rendering.

[@camille1068]

Même dans cet air interprété si souvent par des voix admirables, Sara Mingardo parvient à m'étonner et à faire naître mon émotion et mon émerveillement. Merci Madame pour tous ces moments de bonheur que vous nous apportez à moi et à tant d'autres.

[@robertopetracco5272]

[@gordon89]

non passa volta in cui non mi commuova nei primi 30 secondi...

[@gabriele3451]

[@Gaff8132]

Just watch how her fellow musicians applaud her. The Supreme Sara!

[@geromalley7559]

WOW!! what a voice.

[@rieii61]

[@salvinocirimelli2461]

La Sua voce è altrettanto cara ed amabile, complimenti per la scelta del brano che per chi sa ascoltare è più che "soave".

[@Conmezzo]

Elegant and beautifully sung.

[@michiamosophie]

Mai sentito la voce cosi bella... Magnifica Sara

[@bucefalo5666]

...con o senza occhiali!

[@francoislebedel4428]

Très belle interprétation que je rapproche de celle de Nathalie Stutzmann. Les départager ? mais non ! c'est sublime dans les deux cas...même si j'ai toujours un petit faible pour Cecilia Bartoli qui m'a véritablement conquis !!!

[@evabencze1249]

Flying,uplifting,beautiful music!Thanks!

[@TheDali2574]
