They said Moffo was a gorgeous woman, like other really attractive sopranos. Kanawa is no exception. She is a very pretty woman. Her gown on her is quite exquisite. Her singing is wonderful. I love her dark shadings. It would've been fun to hear her do dramatic coloratura in her heyday if she would've attempted it. She has that darker, somewhat heavy color like Sutherland in her voice. I quess many of us will continue to wonder.., if?
WOW! I'm pleasantly shocked. Who knew Te Kanawa could sing Handel so well, however, without any da capo ornaments. Maybe it was too much for her to learn. I'd definitely look for more Handel by Kiri. Just fabulous!
Fantastic! As far as I know ornamenting the da capo isn't something you'd generally do with Handel (it's ornamented enough and adding anymore you move away from the original piece too much) I'm pretty sure stylistically she's correct and lets face it I'm sure she knows a lot more about sining than we do!
This had to be the most boring rendition of this aria ever filmed or recorded. The real tragedy is that she has the voice to sing this beautifully and correctly.
And as you sit on your cheeto lined couch and munch....she made a heck of a lot of money and making a lot of people happy with her voice. Lol "she has the ability"....as if one of the world's greatest singers needs YOUR approval.
Mnohokrát děkuji. Paní Kanawa je naprosto úžasná. L. V. z Prahy😊❤
Still my favourite version of this aria after about 30 years.
Luv her handel work!
Really awesome!
l'orchestre est géniale et kiri te kanawa splendide. merci pour cette super video
Sempre un incanto ascoltare la sua voce
Fabulosa...fluida
Been awhile since I heard this. So exquisitely sung. Te Kanawa sung Handel quite well. Goosebumps. Bravo.
I am a staunch Handelian and a fan of Madam Kiri in Mozartean roles, but in this case this interpretation has a 10 for me. Wonderful interpretation.
Amazing and beatiful voice!
she's the best!!

Dame Kiri knew what her instrument could do and what wouldn't be good for it...she managed to sing very well for a very long time.

She did an entire album/video of fabulous Handel arias. It's called "The Sorceress".
She is the soprano soloist on Solti's Decca recording of Händel's Messiah.
Her sourceress was amazing

the A prime section is always ornamented by the singer for most arias.
Too much for her to learn? Come on...
