Handel - Lascia ch'io pianga, from Rinaldo (Deborah York)

[@CalLatMan]

Spent the last 60 years of my life yearning for the freedom that has yet to come.

[@zarapinder6398]

Yes, me too. I don't know what you actually need to free yourself from, but I understand..... X

[@msaquablue2925]

The BEST version i have ever heard brings tears to my eyes. Bravo Ms York...Bravo well done.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@damiansanchez7968]

Yes, this is the definitely the best version

[@timothychurch4109]

No doubt. Thank you, Ms. York.

[@rembrandt2323]

I confirm this.... as a GERMAN (we are always emotionless as everyone knows.. Another Steorotype: We all do listen to classical Music ;) *sacasm*). Does any COMPLETE RECORD of this SPECIFIC Opera exist to buy it? I would buy it to support the Artists and the Opera itself where it was recorded. I specialy like the Spinett in the Background (seldom used nowdays..). :)

[@arpiruk]

Beautiful indeed!

[@williamgiddings9636]

This is the best performance on line for sure. The voice, the restraint, and sense of private feeling and entrapment contrasted with the deluded gaze of her captor is chilling. Almirena has been collected, framed and placed on a wall like a painting to be wrongfully admired. A frightening prospect.

[@dutchfreeheel]

This is my favourite version. Personally I prefer clean flowing vocals above the seemingly inevitable vibrato.

[@minka866]

So do I!

[@corner559]

Just listen to nearly any period performance of this and you'll find there's little to no vibrato. I have no idea why people tolerate baroque music being played on modern instruments using modern playing techniques.

[@energy5289]

Me too!

[@Penelope2024-qq4st]

​@@corner559 🙄 but 👂 You are dumb dear YTubist ... listen again 🦻Debora YORK with her gorgeous Voice sings with Vibratti 🤭🤭🤭🤭 Take care of your Ears ...and stop writing upon Baroque Oper ...🫏🫏🫏🕊

[@kid_monkee]

I wish there was a high quality studio version of this because Deborah York's version is honestly my favourite of all time. She encapsulates the pain so well and to do it all while having to stay static in that position yet to take us on such an emotional journey...her decision to sometimes use vibrato, sometimes to have those clean over arching notes. Ugh. Brava

[@AnthonyMoore-ip6dg]

Perfectly done. The best.

[@Catherine-d6p]

Agree... more!😾

[@vanessa_san]

I'm searching for this version on Spotify but I can't find it, only here

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

Stunning production concept and nobody sings this aria better than Debbie York.

[@chaz_RN]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@chaz_RN]

Same. I don’t really listen or watch opera but I come back to this time and time again.

[@Catherine-d6p]

Such a strong voice... that confident commitment in those deeper nuanced vibratos... she has plenty in the tank... this is the only version I am interested in coming back to

[@stanleynickels6106]

This video should have views in the millions, but I guess the aesthetic appearance is more important to most people.

[@giovanipenteado2711]

Deborah York is a Angel... i Love your work...

[@innagurina5481]

Самая лучшая, на мой взгляд, интерпретация этой арии, просто великолепно

[@solveiglandvikbrg9103]

Parmi les meilleures interprétations du "Lascia ch'io pianga"....... 😊

[@andypandywright]

i thought i'd heard some great versions of this but this is beyond all, the astounding deborah york!

[@wilfriedfriedrich3730]

Ein solch perlender Gesang ist mehr als ungewöhnlich schön . Es lebe die Kunst als ein nie versiegender Quell unseres Trostes und der Erbauung.❤❤❤

[@Penelope2024-qq4st]

BRAVISSIMO @willfriedfriedrich37 30 Sehr philosophisch gesagt 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@wilfriedfriedrich3730]

​@@Penelope2024-qq4stNun, schon Leo Tostoi formulierte den Satz :" Die Musik ist die Kurzschrift des Gefühls" , und brachte es damit auf den Punkt.❤

[@VideoFunForAll]

Kudos. The performance resonates with a raw authenticity and unfiltered emotional depth, free from any academic stiffness. It feels genuinely alive and profoundly direct, drawing the listener into the heart of the music.

[@nightowl6260]

This is sheer beauty.

[@evanagy5950]

omg....beautiful

[@chasechang3261]

I am so amazed by the ornamentation 3:04 and the appoggiatura at 3:07. 3:24 is foreshadowing of her beautiful passing tone flourish at 3:31. I love the roundness of her high notes. It's well demonstrated at 2:00 to 2:05. I could play the above passages over and over. Well done, Deborah York.

[@jayonnaj18]

Deborah York is NOT the singer here---it is Kathleen Battle's voice singing!

[@chasechang3261]

@@jayonnaj18 Although Ms. Battle was known for her unique and pure voice, it is obvious the ornamentation of the soundtrack matches the video. Every soloist's ornamentation, coloratura, and cadenza is unique. This is obviously Deborah Yorks performance with David Daniels. You can also visually identify her by the wrinkles in Ms. York's forehead too. You can't dub over (at least it would be extremely difficult) a live performance with a fake soundtrack. I dont' think Kathleen Battle would sit down and try to match Ms. York's video. That would be far beneath her. And I doubt Ms. York would do a live performance (this video) and try to lip sync to Kathleen Battle.

[@mad_mario_]

I've thought the exact same things! Bravo for your detailed and through inspection of her interpretation! One of the best rendition of this aria, breathtaking! Thanks to you sir and thanks Ms. York for this eternal performance! ❤❤❤❤

[@alexpetrov8871]

I have no idea what are you talking about, but I like the singing, right.

[@AngryBaldCat]

What a gorgeous voice...💙💙💙💙

[@fabriceviau6907]

Sublissime. Merci Mme York.

[@AdrianaGarcia-bi8ch]

Brava!!! Impecable and unique, in the middle of the holiday season, really makes you feel Haendel and God together among us mortals!!

[@charlesowens2971]

Excellent… could say it’s the best performance I’ve ever heard of this wonderful piece…

[@Iven-mutua]

I wish that I can get someone to mentor me to sing like her. Because, oh God, I have a beautiful voice I just don't know what steps to take . But one day I'll be out in the light. Guide me oh Lord🙏

[@marijapapez4006]

Wonderful ms. York!!!

[@Sirius-me5zy]

A aria written some long ago, can be so relevant in this age. Unbelievable and stunning

[@paulhaube]

Mesmerizing she is to eyes, ears and soul.

[@jjsmith0621]

One of the best version. The emotion is felt ❤

[@paulocampos3133]

Esta bela canção tem muitas interpretações. Esta está entre as melhores. A cenografia,sem dúvida, a valoriza. Parabéns!

[@guillermoj.dhiriart2422]

¡Bellísima, extraordinaria Deborah York!

[@sivaschuh4396]

L'interprétation de cet air par Mme York est à ce jour ma préférée. J'ai rencontré pour la première fois "Lascia ch'io pianga" à travers le film "Farinelli : il Castrato", où il est chanté par le personnage comme un défi à M. Haendel. L'interprétation de Mme York est conforme à l'esprit d'Almirena de l'opera, "Rinaldo". Brava!

[@Ajax901]

Best version I have ever heard, and believe me I have heard so many versions of this masterpiece.

[@Penelope2024-qq4st]

@Ajax901 So did I ...I share Your opinion ..and I did sing this gorgeous Aria myself - fare from this awesome version. - heard C.BARTOLI, the german Simone KERMÈS, the american Renée FLEMING ...🙄😣...Deborah this is pure and incarnation 🙏💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

[@heldersilva6672]

Probably, my favourite interpretation. Also, a word to the cenography team - This set fits beautifuly in the story.

[@ErickBarker]

Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte, e che sospiri la libertà; Il duolo infranga queste ritorte de' miei martiri sol per pietà. Deja que llore mi cruel suerte, y que suspire por la libertad; Que el dolor quiebre estas cadenas de mis martirios sólo por piedad.

Bien que je sois d’accord avec vous en ce qui concerne les points que vous avez soulevés, je pense que les chanteurs ont fait un travail splendide.

Una verdadera maravilla, primeramente el talento genial de Haendel, la interpretación de Deborah York y la fantástica puesta.

[@Kartoschky]

I love this song and the rendition by Deborah York is very good. Personally I like the smoother tones of Patricia Janeckova. The amazing thing is that Patricia was only 12 when she recorded her version.

Well if she sings like that, I wouldn't let her go either.

Could someone explain why she is trapped in that frame?

Alas, the inevitable cough of every live performance...this is an amazing performance though.

[@sashabay1194]

Why is she stuck like that?

[@emobloom]

That's what I want to know, it's cool either way

[@raffadizzle]

It’s a visual metaphor of her being imprisoned

[@Westy0311]

I’m new to this aria. This performance kind of makes me feel uncomfortable with the singer being stuck in the painting. Then the man’s costume screams extreme affluence like he enjoys this. I’m more than likely wrong on my take on this, but can someone please explain the set and costumes, please?

[@varadero5337]

This is so Wong Kar Way
