HANDEL Piangerò and Da Tempeste - Amanda Forsythe, Apollo's Fire (Library of Congress)

[@jacintaaconng1]

Simply one of the best. What a treat to my ears.

Amanda Forsythe is amazing, but the dude with the ponytail on the left has his swag-game upped to the nTh degree. We should all aspire to his levels of swag.

Indescribably beautiful.

Amanda eres una diosa ❤

I have not heard of AF until today and what an exquisite find. I do hope she performs in the UK after this lockdown. Beautiful singing.

Who is the lutenist? Does he do solo work?

[@rezamlontok2409]

Apollo’s Pa

[@marivargas6389]

Ella es mezzosoprano?

[@patrickmergl885]

No, she is a soprano

[@dion1949]

No

[@sheldonbazinga3985]

Pas assez de larmes, pas suffisamment de pathos, pourtant tout était réuni pour réussir ce monument. Dame Forsythe est une chanteuse d'exception mais pas suffisamment épaulée par un Apollo's fire toujours un peu superficiel, trop éthéré pour ce drame sans fond qu'est cette aria de Giulio Cesare.

[@francoislebedel4428]

Je ne partage pas totalement votre avis. L'ensemble orchestral est à mon sens, tout de même un peu succinct, bien que violons et altos soient excellents, singulièrement le premier violon. (Olivier Brault).

[@sheldonbazinga3985]

@@francoislebedel4428 C'est à peu près exactement ce que j'ai dit, ensemble sympathique mais un peu superficiel, quelques personnalités sortent du lot, comme à peu près partout. Ceci dit, qu'ils ne semblent pas être totalement à fond, ils jouent la musique que j'aime et c'est déjà une raison suffisante pour que je les aime et que je les soutienne.

[@rosemaryallen2128]

A concert rendition of operatic arias is rarely as emotionally compelling as the music in context. I recommend listening to Inger Dam-Jensen in the superb Royal Danish Opera production. You get Andreas Scholl being sublime, and Christopher Robson being charismatic, into the bargain...

[@alisonrhodes7312]

Man she’s good! I agree that the pathos is missing from Piangero and I can’t help hearing David Daniel’s “Tempeste” ringing in my ears however. The coloratura needs to become the means of expression not the be all and end all and on other occasions I think she achieves this.

[@jenniferbate9682]

How do you mean superficial?

[@mirpopolos6209]

Not many people could sing that ! It's a minor consideration I know, but already less make-up, which is better. Could perhaps be less still, or different. I miss the oboeist.
