Handel -〈Rinaldo〉"Cara sposa" / David Daniels (countertenor)

[@rpallen3129]

Since Daniels' career has imploded, I am particularly grateful that we can continue to enjoy his fantastic artistry through recordings.

[@dobriyvolshebnick]

Почему его карьера рухнула? Что с ним случилось?

[@rpallen3129]

@@dobriyvolshebnick Обвинили его (с мужем) в изнасилование молодого студента Дануелса--взрослого но студента. Он потерял место в университете и никто больше не хочет нанять его. Неизвестно что он делает теперь. Голос прекрасный но характер гнилой.

[@dobriyvolshebnick]

@@rpallen3129 какой ужас

[@kopernikusnikolaus6661]

Wie schön er singt. Wunderbar. Und das mit Hut auf dem Kopf. Dazu gehört schon was. Sich die Stirnhöhlen mit einem Filzhut bedecken zu lassen und dann so zu singen. Orchester und Dirigent ebenfalls: Bravo. Dankeschön.

[@bridrice]

Daniels has one of the most beautiful voices in history. The fact that he is compelling onstage and very good looking are but two more factors in his greatness as an artist.

[@cocoperere]

The lyrics of this aria are so simple, but David Daniels changes their meaning through his musical interpretation and his acting all throughout; you can feel the range of emotions, the stages of grief that his character suffers from beginning to end, from fear, to sadness, anger, and depression.

[@stephenpritchard7152]

His musicality and talents are profound. Stunning, completely stunning voice.

[@AlexanderTheGoodEnough]

I love his vibrado. though I like Jarousskeys tone as he can articulate the highs of a falsetto better. both exemplify the required control...just at different competence in the myriad of things one must be mindful of when singing this way.

[@cheesemongerinF]

Vocal perfection!!! I literally couldn't turn it off.

[@barytondehautemer]

Tout est ici est réuni pour faire de cette interprétation l'une des meilleures. la beauté du chant, une émotion magnifiquement traduite, sans excès de pathos.

[@JeromeTenor]

I think there is neither 'best singer' nor 'best music', but only 'best interpretations' as unsurpassable osmosis between a singer, a music and you. Thank you for that one, David Daniels.

[@Panjalin]

I think i have played this at least 100 times last week. The singing is just so unbeliveably moving. Handel wrote so much beautiful music!

[@talvela100]

Bravissimo! Voce con carattere, ricca di armoci e non fanciullesca...emozionante

[@marciusnery4065]

Not even the most stupid and silly stage costume could destroy such a magnificent performance. David Daniels is a wonder! Absolutely sublime countertenor.

[@igormarchetti4371]

I agree completely

[@greghache9369]

…and this awful decor too. Ashamed

[@letteriopanto2093]

Bravissimo!

[@richardgreenhill7582]

Unbelievable

[@denis3hip]

The way he is frasing and breathing with the music is ecstatic!

[@IrinaOLIVIERDEBOURLASSIRENEA]

DAVID DANIELS 's voice : DU MIEL DANS SA VOIX : magnifique !

[@petrusbaldamus1105]

Excelente, David Daniels ! De los mejores intérpretes de Handel ! Gracias por este mágico momento !

[@monikakramer5876]

Warum musste so ein Talent seine Begabung mit Füßen treten. Seine Aufnahmen bleiben zum Glück erhalten.

[@markjackson8645]

Not quite sure how the pimp suit fits into the equation, but his voice is gorgeous beyond belief. It manages an unprecedented amount of sweetness without losing depth or character. We're blessed to have so many talented countertenors among us.

[@joshuagerthoffer4664]

He's portraying a christian magician.

[@HerrWarja]

How can someone dislike this? The beutiful stringaccompiment and Daniels wonderful ringing vibrato. I just love it!

[@ohmy5650]

This "slower" tempo has the wonderful quality among other to allow relishing in the gorgeous color of the singer's voice & his rare because so perfect & generous singing. Not to mention his acting.

[@stefanamann]

Great !!!!

[@IllinoisGallois]

Simply magnificent. I've been playing this at least once a day for two weeks and have not tired of it. Daniels' performance is impeccable.

[@BearKamus]

GRACIAS POR EXISTIR DAVID DANIELS!!!

[@lucluc1000]

Absolutly GREAT!!! I love David Daniels performance!!!

[@rmtenorlirico]

My God I'm breathless! Wonderful! If angels really sing they should have a voice like his!

[@mradaChris]

That was so fantastic! He sang with such emotion!

[@hmidh]

j'aime bien cet air de Haendel, belle performance du ténor!

[@stefanvincent5194]

Spectacular performance! Brilliantly married to this opera genre!

[@encarnacionlopezdearenosad3658]

El aria es de una inmensa belleza y la voz y la interpretación de David Daniels hace honor al aria .

[@serenaluce]

His singing is so beautiful and moving! Bravissimo! Thanks for posting.

[@cuicuimusic]

he deserves a life time of applause for that the music is perfect but i rarely saw a singer with such intensity in the acting

[@pio6463]

Wonderful! David Daniels is unbelieveably great!

[@dschuetz11]

Absolutely beautiful, David. So proud to know you. You're a wonderful, wonderful musician. Sincerely, Daniel

Mwu coração chora demais com essa canção de hendel

[@ramenbo]

the music is what's important here, the man has the voice of an angel

[@lifeloveandliteraturejoyeu7967]

What a truly Sublime aria. Right to the heart and soul of the listener. Sheer unparalleled genius. I live around the corner from "his majesty's theatre" on the haymarket in London. Theatres have been closed for over one year. Of an evening when I go for a walk I see the ghost of Handel shuffingly into the stage door. Life is unadultered magic. And is as far removed from what we perceive as could be possibly imagined. You know it's the love and patience that create the miracles. Miracles outside of space and time. Everything of value cannot be seen with the human eyes. So said "le petite prince". I believe he was right.

[@ggrobbins9353]

gorgeous, gorgeous contralto sound. So perfect for the countertenor rep. Best countertenor ever. No more male sopranos... we need more countertenors like this!!!

[@metteholm4833]

Thank you David Daniels - this is perfection and true expression!

[@davehshs651]

What a gorgeous and powerful voice. I love the purity and beauty of Jaroussky's voice, but it is missing the complexity, richness, and power of this man's incredible voice.

[@evadenef]

Such a delicate, but profound performance!Can't but touch your soul!

[@jloeckhart]

I'm planted out! This performance was so awesome! It gives me chills! Bravoooo!

[@MyYrrab]

Thank you david daniels, thank you rinaldo, thak you handel. Thank you GOD

Amen, brother. Nothing further need be said.

[@Janibeva]

Precioso... que bella mùsica y que bella voz

[@MrMarcvus]

David Daniels voice is encouraging me as I develop my voice it a really exciting journey and so much awsome music to sing for us counter tenors!

[@berenicechitsaz6694]

Diese Stimme gibt meiner Seele den totalen Frieden, er singt es so mitreißend und natürlich, man vergisst völlig die Schwere der Technik. Einfach wunderbar!

[@metteholm4833]

Couldn´t be done stronger. It gets me every time - and leaves me crying.

[@Cherr1]

Extraordinarily beautiful. And it's all here--the purity of the voice, the deep feeling, and the technical execution, all married to gorgeous music. Thanks for posting this.

[@Greenmirrors]

Thanks for posting this. It used to be on Spotify, but has gone now. I expect I shall end up buying the album as I can't stop listening to it!

Precioso,al cantante le gusto tanto Farinelli como a mi,no cabe duda. Quien tuviera esa voz.

Aaah so great!

Had to listen again, this is so good.

[@dasan2005]

Intense, passionate, riveting, haunting. It´s hard to think of any better version of this magnificent aria (But I agree: the costume and the setting are appaling).

[@darkhorse3925]

Just amazing!

[@al19527]

bravo..beautiful soulful rendition and colorful voice

[@Speezerina]

Gorgeous, clear voice. Heartbreakingly beautiful. I love the modern setting. It brings a new insight into the song, making it more accessible to younger audiences.

[@HerrWarja]

Amazing preformance and great improv in the da capo part!

[@kathrynprice3283]

Wish I understood the words...this is so beautiful and intriguing; the singing, the setting, and the orchestration.

Cara sposa, amante cara, dove sei? Deh! ritorna a’ pianti miei! Del vostr’Erebo sull’ara, colla face del mio sdegno io vi sfido, o spirti rei.

[@CPCPierrick]

His voice is brilliant, this is a mix between the velvety voice of Andreas Scholl on the lower notes and the beading (as we say in speaking of wine) gas and air on the treble notes of Philippe Jarrousky. Extraordinarly beautiful ! Thanks for posting this !

[@bouarddanielle5669]

Magnifique à écouter, beaucoup moins à regarder. David Daniels une des plus belles voix de contreténor

[@annebergsmastudentrepertoi8514]

Nice to see a live version of a barou que-opera. So rarely preformed these days, to bad!

Handel was a genius.

[@kukana228]

Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Transcendent. Amazing. My heart is drawn right out of me on those long lovely notes. Totally beautiful. But I do hate the trenchcoat and hideous orange chairs. We just need to close our eyes and be transported!

[@fannyjemwong]

HERMOSO

[@mirarte2002]

Simplemente... ¡soberbio!.

[@TheChangken]

what a dramatic voice. suits the role.

[@TheAgrafeuse]

le tempo est un peu lent mais ça permet à David Daniels d'exprimer l'âme du texte jusqu'au bout de son souffle. Une voix parfaite que l'on retrouve avec plaisir ces dernières années dans Bach et autre partitions moins aisée pour ce contre-ténor hors paire

[@daviddavenport9350]

Can anyone top Handel as a tunesmith? And, his harmonies, though quite simple are so so telling......

[@BWV1906]

Second only to Ewa! Thanks for sending this chef!

[@zialolli]

voce bellissima,toccante calda

[@JavierDiazMejia]

Thanks Mr. Daniels. Your voice and performance shut up those colors in the scenography and clothes.

Bravo Daniels!
