Очень проникновенное исполнение. Жаль,что этой певицы уже нет в живых.очень красивый тембр голоса.

[@MattWeisherComposer]

She had a gorgeous easy voice. Beautiful.

[@arlenedechoiseul-guyancour5871]

Magnifique air, sublime et céleste Arlene Auger....!!

[@GIROSSINI58]

"Stupefacente"!!!... e senza bisogno di ricetta medica. "Dell'arte il fin è la maraviglia" (Giambattista Marino).

[@azriel8549]

Verdaderamente una artista excepcional. Nunca la olvidaremos, Sra. Augér.

[@thomascarter732]

Glorious Arleen Auger, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century.

[@roibin123]

What technique ... what sheer beauty of the voice ... and the expression heartbreaking ... listen to the nuances she sings in this aria and its repeats ... no other singer does this as good

[@giulianademedici691]

Deeply moving and tecnhnically perfect at the same time. Arleen Auger is wonderful. Thank you

[@roibin123]

The best Alcina I ever listend to ... love her

[@danielninofloresmendez3315]

The best Alcina :)

[@philipscheltens8194]

I agree; my absolute favorite. Such a powerful yet sensitive voice and personality. Dearly missed after a her passing away too early.

[@aprendizercomygor]

Magnificent and touching performance!

[@philipscheltens8194]

Many many thanks for uploading this. Arleen Auger is simply the very best. No doubt; no competition

[@TheWiseMonkey8888]

It's just wonderful! My fav Alcina...

[@joaquinluci]

Indeed!

[@moyaduffy4438]

Absolutely wonderful- how did she manage to sing so beautifully at such a slow tempo? Magnificent-she died far too soon.

[@brookeggleston9314]

Lungs of steel! She would breathe with her whole body, enabling her to carry long phrases, at slow, highly effective tempos. Check out her Et Incarnatus Est, with Bernstein, in Mozart's c minor mass!

[@roibin123]

Perfection .. I always return to her...

[@skyhunk]

Sublime performance! Thanks for the post.

[@qsilverboy01]

Love, love, love! I loved her that she never stress her throat unlike many other singers. Keeps silver thin thread vocal lines.

[@ARTUROPVIOLA]

One of the greatest singers who has ever lived that a lot of people have never heard about or from!

[@TheWiseMonkey8888]

0:34, 5:57 & 11:23 ... i like this bit ... best live version I have heard... floored... lazer-like accuracy. You get me...?

[@robertsantoni5834]

I never did! u are right but her interpretation is superbe

[@tenorette2003]

Divina Arleen!!

[@terrycloth6380]

Now this is singing. Beautiful

[@giovanniarioli2971]

La meraviglia assolutamente. Ti adoro o mia regina Arlene

[@DGJJJP]

Vintage, but actually so much better than other modern productions...

[@giovanniarioli2971]

After the perfection, mostly unexpected from the composer, is the imperitura voice. As you are. I love you for ever. You give my life better

[@bigell91]

That EXIT!!!! OMG!!!

[@jean-vitalpetit5291]

thanx ! beautifull voice ! Great Arleen Auger !

[@michaelyonan8754]

And to think there are people out there who criticize Augér for being inexpressive. Balderdash!

[@LeonConradStory]

Brava!

[@robertsantoni5834]

For me? Best interpretation from far!!!

[@genaromolina3325]

Arleen Auger es ahora inmortal como Handel

[@wilsonmarques3992]

Marvelous.

[@joaquinluci]

Perfection!!!!!!

[@dmitryk9676]

Ora intendo perché l'arme vestì; crudei, spergiuro! di lui, di or farne vendetta io giuro. Ah! mio cor! schernito sei! Stelle! Dei! Nume d'amore! Traditore! T'amo tanto; puoi lasciarmi sola in pianto, oh dei! perché? Ma, che fa gemendo Alcina? Son reina, è tempo ancora: resti o mora, peni sempre, o torni a me.

[@fwiffo1376]

Why can't this be available for purchase instead of 50 shades of Handel :/

[@giovanniarioli2971]

No words to say. Never will happen after

[@samueljaramillo4221]

Beautiful 👏👏

[@bigell91]

She is serving high DRAMA!! LMAO

[@giovanniarioli2971]

Un giorno, dopo questa interpretazione. Niente

[@myharmony41]

Ah, mio core...

[@barrosjose8651]

05:05 "Mater Dolorosa"!!!!!!

[@Robert-yc2tl]

Unsurpased

[@XPRT10R]

What year was this?

OK, note to stage manager/music director: ditch the feathers worn in Alcina's headdress. They do nothing at all, except to distract one's attention from this magnificent aria. My attention in this video was drawn to the waving feathers, rather than the superb singing/music. It's a case in which the visual overtakes the original intention, which I presume is the music written by the composer and then interpreted on stage by the singers.

[@celloguy]

She’s brilliant. But what is this ridiculous accompaniment? This heartbreaking aria sounds so light weight with pizzicato in the bass, which is not marked in the score

[@user-jr4mf2hv6s]

取り消しください

[@cinziavidali411]

Un'aria particolarmente ricca di sentimento, a tratti compresso, a tratti esibito. L'interpretazione è veramente fantastica.
