[@janicekagermeier1415]

Of the millions of clips on KZbin, this is my absolute favorite. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it and it’s electrifying every time.

[@lorenzogumier7646]

I feel so lucky to live in a time where we can listen to and witness the finest countertenor to have come along in a century!

[@jeanpeyre6986]

Un véritable phénomène vocal...et beaucoup plus! Excellente musicalité et parfaite virtuosité ! BRAVO !!! Jubilatoire

[@wilsonwatt9283]

His voice is like honey being poured over the notes. It is sensuous, warm, sweet, and comforting all at once and brings the notes to life completely. Absolutely superb!!!

[@lizzyborg]

Perfect description of his voice.

[@ranger81270]

The most accourate depiction of Fagioli's style.

[@fabriziolamari5094]

GRANDE FAGIOLI......... E' UN VERO DIVO DALLA GRANDE TECNICA VOCALE........... LA SUA VOCE E' SUBLIME!!!!

[@Paulkazey1]

A superb performance from the greatest countertenor of the age. Franco surpasses them all.

[@bettina7173]

Ich hatte das große Vergnügen ihn 3mal live erleben zu können, aber in diesem Video begeistert mich seine Art die Musik zu LEBEN!!! Seine Bewegungen zur Musik faszinieren mich sooooo sehr.

[@osvaldoscilingo5164]

Jamás pensé ver y escuchar algo tan grandioso como Fagioli ! uno de los grandes hijos q Argentina le dió al mundo !!! Grandísimo talento !

[@user-kv6hp5ug6i]

Спасибо, Франко! Ты единственный и неповторимый!

[@user-yj4kf9te2x]

Браво, Фаджоли! Неутомимый, неиссякаемый источник счастья!

[@jacquelinedumont5155]

Après toutes ces acrobaties vocales de Franco je suis à bout de souffle !!!Mais j’ai aussi dégusté comme un morceau de choix . Il est absolument fabuleux

[@jacquelinedumont5155]

Enfin un artiste qui communique son bonheur de chanter et il y réussit .Merci Fanco

[@maitestorchi2497]

C'est incroyable, il est là, tout seul, au centre d'un orchestre sans chef.....Ariodante exprime son bel espoir au gré de sa fantaisie . C'est Fagioli qui s'amuse avec sa voix, et le résultat est magnifique évidemment !

[@MalisandreFeline]

Et tout cela dans la simplicité que donne le grand art!

[@cheshire1231]

He's so amazing. His interpretations are always touching and technically perfect. The voice is warm and unique. There is no one like him. And for this reason alone, comparisons that some people here allow themselves are prohibited.

[@paulanner]

Fantastic voice and artistry, bravo Fagioli!

[@Anna-jj6gh]

If you are not watching the video, just listening the voice, its so difficult to discriminate who is singing - a man or a woman? A voice sounds like cello! You only feels and hear that it is great! Phenomena! The most beautiful countertenor voices I have ever heard! Bravo Franco Fagioli!

[@killuaisthebest5245]

An na

[@franciscomadrid6836]

Do you know to Cecilia Bartoli? She's a mezzo-soprano. Franco Fagioli has a great great voice and interpretation, I'm his fan, but he has a lot Cecilia Bartoli's interpretation influence

[@lenka7776]

I don’t need to know what gender is singing , I am just listening and thanking god I can ❤❤❤

[@mogduane]

So good to hear that Joyce's glorious voice is still perfection! Thank you, Joyce, for all the joy and amazement that you and your voice continue to give me!!😂

[@luisgonzalezorellana8460]

Tienes razón. Al escuchar a Fagioli, se confunde con una voz femenina. Por eso él, no cumple el objetivo de la existencia de un contratenor que es; recuperar el repertorio musical escrito para " castrados". La idea es, emular la voz de un: NIÑO CON LA POTENCIA Y GRACIA DE UN HOMBRE. Y esa meta la logra a cabalidad, Philippe Jaurosscky. Date el tiempo y escúchalo

[@jacquelinedumont5155]

Merci Maïté pour votre commentaire c’est vrai que Franco a l’air de s’amuser et en plus il communique son bonheur de chanter tout le monde en profite que du bonheur.

The quality of his top notes, so rich!

[@albertogatti6262]

This guy is literally a phenom. I've never heard a male voice that can sing like this (and I've heard lots of countertenors).

Handel is like the pop music of the baroque, I like this music so much :-) And Franco Fagioli is the Freddie Mercury of this music : great voice, great performer and a healthy portion of ego :-) :-)

[@clivepapayanis3121]

an outstanding performance to say the least. sincerely moved me to the verge of tears, and many fans can be getting spoiled by the quality of this! hahahahaha certainly glad to be alive and hearing! many thanks for uploading this!

[@ClaudineFranco-u1p]

Voix bartolesque. Cet aria je l'ai entendu plusieurs fois en live. Tjours un plaisir renouvelé. Franco reste un contre ténor à part vu l'étendue de ses possibilités evocales. En plus il est très sympa voire simple avec ses admirateurs

[@manuelyluciagarcia261]

BRAVO!!! Bellísima Aria, Tremenda voz de Fagioli...

[@mariovalencia7167]

Su voz es extensa y bien esculpida, llega a todas las exigencias de la partitura con soltura. Te deja con cara de estupefacción cuando saca esos sobreagudos, o los cavernosos graves, o usa la respiración y el fraseo de forma tan perfecta. Los da capo son una locura.

[@artje123]

The post doesn't tell us from which of Handel's operas this aria comes. It's from 'Ariodante', a marvelous work which La Scala staged (in a superb production at La Piccola Scala) back in 1981. I think that I must have seen and heard it at least five times. The title role, to which this aria belongs, was sung not by a countertenor, but by a wonderful contralto named Carolyn Watkinson.

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

David Steven Tabbat but was written for a castrato so countertenor somewhat more accurate casting than a woman contralto, don’t you think?

[@fourstrings48]

@@lesleywilbourne7823 It ain't necessarily so. Countertenors sing in falsetto; female contraltos sing with their natural voice.

Dopo notte, atra e funesta, splende in Ciel più vago il sole, e di gioja empie la terra. - After a dark and baleful night the sun shines lovely all the more in the sky and the earth is filled with joy! (sorry for inaccuracies, english is not my mother tongue). I am sorry but I don't feel the deep relief after a horrifying night, I don't see the radiant, warm, bright sun in the high blue sky, nothing invokes the endless joy which fills the whole earth. I hear dexterity in the coloratura which sometimes tends to technical mannerisms, a nice voice. But musically he doesn't convince me. Even when I do not look on his grimacing and dancing (is it a reference to the film "Farinelli" or is it an informed reconstruction of the historical singing-acting? If so, does it help the music? I don't know...)

[@mesamies123]

He could be brilliant if he'd relax his jaw and move the sound forward-- out of the mask.

[@LaSopRAWna]

yeah what's going on with all of this jaw manipulation????????? what would happen if he didn't do that???

[@celibidache1000]

It's shocking how many comments of praise I had to read before anybody mentioned his jaw. I don't think I've ever seen a singer with som many tensions. 😬 Are people just pretending they don't see it?

[@brunodonderi9869]

Se ci fosse un premio per chi fa più smorfie mentre canta, Fagioli avrebbe l'Oscar, ma indipendentemente da boccacce e balletti è la sua interpretazione che è un capolavoro del cattivo gusto: funambolismi inutili, virtuosismi a tutti i costi...e solo a scapito della musicalità. Irritante!!!

[@marinomendiola4282]

Non e per te

[@giuseppapandolfo5408]

Vero Sig. Donderi, il Sig. Fagioli ci potrebbe risparmiare le trasfigurazioni facciali e le contorsioni corporee, ma egli è inopinabile esempio di belcantismo barocco. Non lo guardi; lo ascolti.
