Maite Beaumont sings "Verdi prati" from Händel's Alcina

[@kennethlapointesongwriter3330]

Makes me melt. So tender. The movements, the singing, the theme. Sheesh. A work of art.

[@NiamhAdventureTime]

Stunningly beautiful - the tears at the end are real, I think

[@Frederic1406]

I love the tempo used for this rondo. The last repetition of Perderete la beltà is superb and conveys a lot of emotion in this farewell aria. Great singing and great acting!!! This Brussels production is a must for Alcina, acting, costumes, lights, this is top class opera.

[@christopheschuwey86]

Yes. Definitely the way this aria should be sung. The "Perderete" coda is THE moment.

[@UkrainianBaroque]

Так, це найкраще виконання! Я повертаюсь до цього знову і знову. Велика вдячність! Я теж перекладаю арії українською мовою. Цю я теж переклав (нижче переклад).

[@UkrainianBaroque]

Луки зелені, ліси затишні, щезне скоро краса ваша. Луки зелені, ліси затишні, щезне скоро краса ваша. Змарніють квіти прегарні, вщухнуть струмки дзвінкі. Луки зелені, ліси затишні, щезне скоро краса ваша. Розтане казковий краєвид: на пустелю мертву і сумну він невдовзі перетвориться. Луки зелені, ліси затишні, щезне скоро краса ваша.

Cara Maite, grazie per averci regalato questo gioiello malinconico e struggente

Très belle prestation ! Très émouvante! Je le chante actuellement ! Merci et bravo ❤

[@elizelizamore568]

So soft and tender!! Beautiful!!!

[@carmelarochamartinez1927]

Maravilloso. Parece un cuadro en movimiento.

[@yongmao6823]

I have noticed Maite's performance since 2008. Maite has the most efficient singing technique among all singers. In addition, how she shapes the vowels and maximizes her resonance is just like a textbook! Bravo!

[@gottpwnd]

an amazing aria and performance

[@ninakasper4ever]

Her voice gives me goosebumps! I have all of her arias on repeat!

[@mercedesortega4780]

Para mi la mejor interpretación del personaje. La hondura de la voz, que parece natural, es única.

[@sabrinacandelorozuber4628]

quelle emotion. les frissons.

[@michaelz.1430]

[@cyrus1566]

Magnifique!!!!!!!

[@cyrus1566]

Como me gustaría de ver esta aria con esta artista al vivo !!!! Magnifique !!!!!

[@ruivog]

Thank you.

[@LobsngDmchoi]

Infinite sadness, infinite regret - as long as this Affekt is heard in the voice during all the reps. of the refrain "Verdi prati ... la belta", then it is one performance in a million. Here Beaumont is practically flawless -- also very sensitive to changes in the text.

[@lizzyborg]

Wonderful!

[@alessandrowdias1]

Bravo!!!!!

[@timmyBuster-ry8kx]

So elegant and perfect....fragonard must have composed it....

[@ledermauricio4197]

SOS una génia !!!!!

The best version?

[@chiarachisu]

Bravissima

[@maria.5974]

As someone said, this can be a song about worsening ecological situation in the world :).

[@annefussy8601]

Leider nur zu wahr und ein Trauerspiel

[@dominique4297]

J'ai entendu cet air interprété par un contre ténor....c'était magnifique aussi .....

[@LobsngDmchoi]

On rehearing I make a correction. This Ruggiero IS flawless and more movingly emotional that almost everybody Ive heard in this piece. Too bad the excellent orchestral contribution was slightly marred by the overly decorated lute continuo in the final ritornello.

[@로보티니콜라스]

Su voz no se escucha en ciertas partes, no puede abordar la obra, parece facil pero no lo es, requiere una mezzo real.

[@carmelarochamartinez1927]

Pues menos mal que no puede...😅

[@user-bc9mn7gq2c]

Very well sung but a tad too slow. The feeling & expression are admirable, but the slower than normal tempo makes the piece more of a heavy lament than a bittersweet remembrance tinged with regret.
