 | Ariodante: Con l'ali di constanza (Kasarova '06) From Musikfest Bremen 2006, Vesselina Kasarova (mezzo-soprano) sings the bravura aria 'Con l'ali di constanza' from Handel's opera, Ariodante. |

 | Alcina -Verdi prati (Graham - Kasarova) Handel: Alcina The knight Ruggiero mourns the fading delusion of Alcina's wonderful (though merely a vision) garden... Susan Graham and Vesselina Kasarova show how there are many ways to skin an aria. Both are live recording. Susan Graham is on the William Christie CD of the opera (and has this aria on her 'Artist's Portrait' album). Vesselina Kasarova is on the Studio Farao CD set conducted by Ivor Bolton (though this track is from the broadcast and not from the CD...which is more cleanly captured). |

 | Händel: Bramo aver mille vite (Ariodante) - Rial, Jaroussky High resolution and stereo sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWRzaWPP5po&fmt=18 "Bramo aver mille vite" (Ariodante, Ginevra), from the opera "Ariodante" HWV.33, music by Georg Friedrich Händel, anonymous libretto, after Antonio Salviati; created in London (King's Theatre, Haymarket) on January 8, 1735. Soprano Anna Maria Strada and mezzo-soprano castrato Giovanni Carestini were Ginevra and Ariodante in the first cast. Ginevra: Núria Rial, soprano. Ariodante: Philippe Jaroussky, countertenor. Ensemble Artaserse, conducted by Philippe Jaroussky. Église des Minimes - Brussells, Belgium, February 26, 2008. Performed at "Baroque pitch" (a semitone lower than modern pitch). At the end of a concert that was rather average, in my opinion (they would do much better four days later in Paris), the singers managed to surpass themselves in the last two works of the program. Philippe Jaroussky sang a gorgeous "Ombra cara" (I have not found any recording coming close), which I have already posted. Then, with Núria Rial, he sang this duet, which could easily make your head spin. You can find it on YouTube with Anne Sofie von Otter and Lynne Dawson (from Marc Minkowski's 1997 recording), and also with Angelika Kirchschlager and Danielle de Niese (from a 2007 performance conducted by Christophe Rousset); I also have Nicholas McGegan's 1995 recording with Lorraine Hunt and Juliana Gondek; I very much like all those artists but, in my opinion, Jaroussky and Rial gave here the best version of the four. This seems amazingly difficult to sing, and they do it with "easy virtuosity". Once again, we find nice and tasteful ornamentations, and there's a very beautiful conclusion. Note: the score (Chrysander edition) has "haver" (old spelling) instead of "aver" (short for "avere", to have). I've adopted the modern spelling for the title of this video, like I always do. *** ARIODANTE Bramo aver mille vite per consacrarle a te. GINEVRA Bramo aver mille cori per consacrarli a te. ARIODANTE e GINEVRA Ma in questo che ti dono, più ch'in mille, vi sono amor, costanza e fé. My translation: ARIODANTE I would love to have a thousand lives, to dedicate them to you. GINEVRA I would love to have a thousand hearts, to dedicate them to you. ARIODANTE and GINEVRA But, in this one that I give you, more than in a thousand, there are love, constancy and faith. Ma traduction: ARIODANTE J'aimerais avoir mille vies, pour les consacrer à toi. GINEVRA J'aimerais avoir mille cœurs, pour les consacrer à toi. ARIODANTE et GINEVRA Mais, dans celui-ci que je te donne, plus que dans mille, se trouvent l'amour, la constance et la foi. *** M.D. |
