Beauty, brains, and musicality...the total package.

[@stinalindmark7078]

This is music at its absolute best. Heavenly!

[@hubear9674]

The best rendition ever of this iconic music

[@italopera6036]

One of.....only !

[@Corinthian44]

The best version of this well loved aria I've heard ; such vibrato !

[@JeffroTas]

Her voice carries the aria with transcendent beauty - she looks amazing too!

[@LeoInterHyenaem]

The closeups of Jenny's re absolutely necessary here. This amount of no-nonsense, demure feminine allure, virtuosity and unadulterated sensuality is most disarming. She's a Goddess here. I won't even comment on her performance, for it goes without saying it is flawless.

[@BoryslavStronko]

Divine music, divine singing!

[@user-hl8ve4hg6b]

A beautiful song for the heart!

[@infrantasi]

A performance for the ages; she teaches as she sings!

[@sallymjmj750]

Finally! A woman, with gorgeous vibrato! And trills. Even better than my cello.

[@1-800-AUDIOS]

Lots of operatic singers have beautiful vibrato.

[@adriennestark5198]

OMG. She is amazing. I absolutely love her voice and the way she interpreted this. Sigh.

[@Mrturytury1]

Lovely! An angel singing that beautiful aria......! Bravo!

[@jayatfreelance]

The contrast of an industrial wasteland and her sensual beauty & gentle brown eyes . . .

[@winstonl4573]

the best version i've ever heard!!!!!!!!!

[@brookeggleston9314]

Winston L check out the civileso w/score . . . it's sung by Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, and it is just marginally better. I've listened to the tw o versions over and over. It's a difficult decision. Lorraine's entrance at the dolce is the essence of sweetness. It's so sweet it's almost sexually agonizing. Enjoy both - I do . . .

[@francoislebedel4428]

Sublime interprétation, voix divine, beauté resplendissante de Jennifer Larmore. On se dit que le Divin nous prodigue toute sa magnificence. En sommes nous dignes?

[@SusieLee09]

She seems the very representation of Gaia, mourning the senseless destruction and desecration of Life. Let us beware of the "real" Gaia's grief turned to anger against we who desecrate the Life dependant on her.

What kind of black soul do you have to give this a thumbs down? 👎🏼

[@micheal49]

In the same league as those who post D-A*** comments. There are those who know nothing and those with no taste. They are often found together, commonly in the same person.

[@Pugovitsa46]

A Victorian rendering - but I love it! A beautiful voice and woman. As much as I respect the great Bartoli. she affects almost a contralto vibe in her version/

Reminescent of the Gheorghiu timbre, Jennifer's voice.... In this piece at least, her voice's notably more musical/appealing lthan other singers on KZbin....But its quite an aesthetic stretch, that junkyard for the Handel piece, but redeemed by the lovely Jennifer...

[@Pugovitsa46]

Precisely.

[@annalarmore5206]

Boom that is my aunt ( ͡°³ ͡°)

[@IndigoBone]

Very interesting video. Commentary on our destruction of nature, perhaps?

[@methekidandthedog8196]

I know her sister. ☺️

[@LeoInterHyenaem]

I believe, Romina Basso in her prime and Jenny Larmore are two of the finest embodiments of Beauty and world-class singing skill. Their skills are matched by other world-class singers; their Beauty was matched and even slightly outdone by the likes of Grace Kelly, Christie Brinkley, Doutzen Kroes (ruined by her disgusting taste in men) - but the combination of the two is virtually unheard of.

[@Feeluck]

like her voice overall, but sadly very restrained (?) is that the right word?

[@nancyrevzen7798]

what is this??????

[@mariopiernes2773]

Aphrodite, and Venus, can not compare with you!

[@johnspencer5610]

it's 'plane' tree not plain tree

[@krikorhadidian897]

Why showing this junkyard? It does not match with this beautiful song. Even there is a reason, but never goes well. Krikor Vasken from L. A. CA.

[@ggalaxy9065]

The idea is the extreme contrast between the lyrics, referring to the shade of a beautiful tree, presumably in a sylvan setting, & this industrial wasteland, highlighting our poor stewardship of this world.

[@mariepichler2758]

[@misteriself2682]

10000000000000 times better than Bartoli's

[@periechontology]

Mister Iself Agree. Less affected. warmer, more sincere.

[@cristinadiazabella1553]

It is the voice. Majestic and so warm. A true contralto.

[@darwindaserste]

PARA SER MEJOR QUE BARTOLI, NO HACE FALTA MUCHO. Y LARMORE, ES REALMENTE BUENA.

[@stephenbrown1389]

Recalls "Das Deutschlandlied." Composed by a saxon on an ancient near eastern theme, on Italian models, published in England, sung by an American in Germany. Such a pity about the fate of western civilization.

[@stephenbrown5528]

Also sprach Germania

[@michaelpanrok5431]

The voice is wonderful, but the stage design is bad and crazy.
