Not even the most stupid and silly stage costume could destroy such a magnificent performance. David Daniels is a wonder! Absolutely sublime countertenor.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
gorgeous, gorgeous contralto sound. So perfect for the countertenor rep. Best countertenor ever. No more male sopranos... we need more countertenors like this!!!
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.
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.
Great Scott!! This is some of the best singing I have heard in YEARS. SO tasteful, such pathos, and the ornaments...I'm completely bowled over. Thank you for sharing this.
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.
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).
What a peaceful musical composition. There is really nothing to add about listening to this quite unique voice but just closing the eyes. Thank you very much for uploading +protestant7
Diese Stimme gibt meiner Seele den totalen Frieden, er singt es so mitreißend und natürlich, man vergisst völlig die Schwere der Technik. Einfach wunderbar!
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!
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
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 !
Since Daniels' career has imploded, I am particularly grateful that we can continue to enjoy his fantastic artistry through recordings.
Not even the most stupid and silly stage costume could destroy such a magnificent performance. David Daniels is a wonder! Absolutely sublime countertenor.
I agree completely
…and this awful decor too. Ashamed

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

He's portraying a christian magician.
His musicality and talents are profound. Stunning, completely stunning voice.
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.
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!
The way he is frasing and breathing with the music is ecstatic!
Bravissimo!

Bravissimo! Voce con carattere, ricca di armoci e non fanciullesca...emozionante
Excelente, David Daniels ! De los mejores intérpretes de Handel ! Gracias por este mágico momento !
Warum musste so ein Talent seine Begabung mit Füßen treten. Seine Aufnahmen bleiben zum Glück erhalten.
That was so fantastic! He sang with such emotion!
GRACIAS POR EXISTIR DAVID DANIELS!!!
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.
DAVID DANIELS 's voice : DU MIEL DANS SA VOIX : magnifique !
Absolutely beautiful, David.
So proud to know you.
You're a wonderful, wonderful musician.

He is the best ❤️
Absolutly GREAT!!! I love David Daniels performance!!!
j'aime bien cet air de Haendel, belle performance du ténor!
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.
Spectacular performance! Brilliantly married to this opera genre!
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.
My God I'm breathless! Wonderful! If angels really sing they should have a voice like his!
Thank you david daniels, thank you rinaldo, thak you handel. Thank you GOD
Amen, brother. Nothing further need be said.
His singing is so beautiful and moving! Bravissimo! Thanks for posting.
Great !!!!

A esto es a lo que llamo una ¡interpretación! ¡Muy conmovedor! Dove sei? De rittornaa apianti miei...
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!
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
Thank you Mr. Handel!
El aria es de una inmensa belleza y la voz y la interpretación de David Daniels hace honor al aria .
Amazing emotions that are understandable without translating ❤
Such a delicate, but profound performance!Can't but touch your soul!
the music is what's important here, the man has the voice of an angel
¡Espectacular!
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!

One of the greatest singers of the present age - in any voice category!
Totally agree.
Breathtakingly gorgeous!!
What a timbre,what a musicality!!He sings so geniously,and he plays so well that I forget even the ugly decor.
Absolutely! Gorgeous
Precioso... que bella mùsica y que bella voz
Mwu coração chora demais com essa canção de hendel

dear lord can this man sing.
Unbelievable
Precioso,al cantante le gusto tanto Farinelli como a mi,no cabe duda.
Quien tuviera esa voz.
Magnifique à écouter, beaucoup moins à regarder. David Daniels une des plus belles voix de contreténor
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.
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).
I even have nostalgic feelings about this video watching it 100 years ago.
Amazing preformance and great improv in the da capo part!
Couldn´t be done stronger. It gets me every time - and leaves me crying.
Wish I understood the words...this is so beautiful and intriguing; the singing, the setting, and the orchestration.
Bravo!!
Just amazing!
This is so beautifully done
Nice to see a live version of a barou
que-opera. So rarely preformed these days, to bad!
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.
Aaah so great!
Beautiful 😢
bravo..beautiful soulful rendition and colorful voice
What a peaceful musical composition.
There is really nothing to add about listening to this quite unique voice but just closing the eyes.

Sensationell!

Have that performance on CD and DVD. Nice
The best ❤️

chris

Eccellente!!!
Love you ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹
Daniels is more stunning each time I hear him.
HERMOSO
sick beautiful
what a dramatic voice. suits the role.
Simplemente... ¡soberbio!.
Second only to Ewa! Thanks for sending this chef!
Can anyone top Handel as a tunesmith? And, his harmonies, though quite simple are so so telling......
voce bellissima,toccante calda
As far as remember this incredible performance: it happened at Munich Nationaltheater in 2000 or 2001?
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 !
