The first time I heard this aria in context. Simply beautiful.

[@yabbadabbajr]

I've watched this at least a half dozen times over the last few days...each time reduced to tears.

[@GeoffreyGraham2]

This is so beatutiful, that it made me cry!

[@joaovitorpillon]

Beautiful

As it happened this summer 2019, I watched the current Rinaldo in Glyndebourne. Sort of seemed to be the same staging as the one above from 2011. Anyway the 'Lascia...' I heard there, was worlds apart from this one above. This one is nice, the one I heard was breathtaking and caused those cathartic tears, a well performed baroque Aria sometimes gives. Hail Glyndebourn and please release this newest 'Lascia ...' to everybody to make a better world...

[@paulhickey9003]

This sopranos Italian diction and her pronunciation is shocking

[@massimomaggioni5395]

Furie, ahimè, poco terribili.

A girl ina priivate school uniform singing about freedom. How completely bizarre!.

[@davehshs651]

Not really.

[@olakitan1]

I loved the performance but found the setting weird and distracting too. Couldn't wrap my head around the concept, kept thinking that perhaps I missed something

[@mascagniful]

Too wobbly-really don’t like it.

[@lukebannister828]

I think it is beautiful, but too agree, perhaps too vibrated for handel
