Or la tromba in suon festante
mi richiama a trionfar.
Qual guerriero e qual amante,
gloria e amor mi vuol bear.

La emisión es superlativa, en el da capo se viene arriba con la coloratura. Increible la pureza y detalle de cada adorno. Bravooo.

Thanks Julia! I didn't know it, beautiful rendition!

He was even higher and lighter when he was in his early twenties. :) But that was positively sweeeeeet.

I have to comment, I think it is brilliant how Philippe counteracts this brilliant and noisy entrance. The interplay is exciting!

Bonne version. J'adore Jaroussky. Cependant, les timbales ne sont pas assez percutantes au départ. Je trouve le roulement au départ dommage. ça diminue l'effet marcato de l'air très militaire.

Most beautiful, but it seems Rinaldo were 12 yeras old! Female singers often give a more heroic rendition of the part.

Nice, but surprisingly Brahmsian for an early music group.

A perfect example of how to use ornamentation to ruin a musical line.
