Humans might have ruined the world, burnt down the forests, been clouded by greed and lust, started wars, done terrible things. But we all can agree over music, the force that binds all things and people.
She sang at the National Concert Hall in Dublin two years ago and was due back last May, a covid cancellation. However in 2019 I was sitting in the front row about 3 yards from her when she sang this, it is in my list of highlights of my entire life, it was 3 minutes of my life I will simply never forget!
for me, the way she sings this is perfection, she treats it with sensitivity and gentleness- and the piece is not rushed, she allows all the beauty of every note to drift off into the air - angelic
Une musique divine interprétée avec tellememt de ferveur par Joyce Di Donato et le quintet Pomo d'Oro. Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter en pleurant dans mon deuil.
L'aspiration à la liberté! Un thème dont l'écho résonne, triste, nostalgique, plein de soupirs, de la merveilleuse musique de Händel. Émue! Dieu merci! Pouvoir écouter une telle merveille, dans la voix de Joyce Donatio c'est pour remercier Le Bon Dieu! Esther Lessa
Wow. The simplicity.. the pathos... the utter submission to a miserable fate.. Her performance seems to send shivers down my spine.. Her rendition seems unfettered by unnecessary "stylisms".. i think this is how Handel intended the song to be sung, in all its frankness and simplicity
One of the best interpretations of this wonderful piece.....(IMHO) No facial theatrics, no twisting or contortions....they're not needed and Joyce DiDonato is well aware of it...
@@lpeh6143 vibrato is employed sparingly..countertenors do it too. How much you accept is a matter of taste. I prefer it to a choir boy rendition with none but loathe heavy deployment .
@@frogmouth Ah I recognized a well rounded comment ...used to do a bit in choirs many moons ago. It always annoys me a bit hen some utube maestro tells folk at this lady's level how to perform. I think she sings a wonderful line of music and is really superb.
The beauty of the music, eternal music. Please share this kind of music with the new generations, educate them to what we have done as human beings in the past thanks to real composers.
I recently reached the age of 72 and lam astonished,suddenly hearing this beautiful rendition from such a gifted voice , like being slapped in the face by Handel with joy and a rebuke as if to say ,what took you so long fool
Music is the universal language. Words need not be understood when you sing this way. I felt all of it and tears flood my eyes. Her delivery is everything.
How does she do it . She brings everything . We feel what we can't really describe . So many every singer even the male s sing this but not with her perfect flowing line even when she's not singing the meaning is felt ! Excellent ensemble work here . I think it's a version for today too .
Heavenly Handel... Splendid Handel... Eternal Handel... I thank the divine hand, the eternal power that created the blood that ran in your veins... Infinite beauty, timeless musical eloquence, overwhelming emotionalism in every transition between one note and another... I thank every woman that broke Handel's heart... every tree, every bird. every ray of sunshine that was an inspiration to that splendid immortal mind!!! This aria is the ultimate hymn to agony, that could also overwhelm you with joy... This is literally heaven. Handel's heaven... where I shall dwell till eternity. Divine.
I am very moved from your comment Sora. It is an inspiration for all of us trying to raise with our interpretation up to the level Handel would have wanted .
I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. －The Shawshank Redemption
Händel... of this world but, not from this world. Maestro Maximus! Divine, had had his feet on the earth, and his ears in heaven. He didn't write music, he took dictations from God. I do believe that, piously, if I may say so. A privilege to listen to it, to be of this time, and a witness still to his great virtue and geniality. Superb! Bravo, Maestro! Bravissimo!
A wonderful performance by Ms DiDonato , that captures the mind from it's worldly woes & gently like an angel in ethereal flight takes it to a verdant haven of quiet joy 👏
i'm practicing this song for my singing lessons and i cry every single time i hear this woman, i can't rehearse like this 🥺😢 it just sounds so beautiful and genuine, i wanna sing like her in the future 🥰 with her raw emotion, gentleness and effortlessness
Keep coming back to this. Exceptional . Handel would have approve d of the the understated improvs by the voice and violin, expected at the time, so well executed. Love the look of approval by 2nd violin.

I miss this relaxed and less commercial version of DiDonato. This is fabulous. I feel that, as her popularity has skyrocketed in the past two or three years, she has lost some of the innocence that truly set her apart. The commercialization of JDD has taken some of her charm, I fear. She is still amazing, but there is just something tremendous in this performance, and others from several years past that seems lacking in present fare. But perhaps, not haivng been able to see a live performance, I am speaking out of turn. But, I do miss the sense of realness, or authenticity. Perhaps a less guarded performance? She's truly at her best when she's, say, the Yankee Diva, as opposed to world superstar Joyce DiDonato. Then again, the loss of "innocence" can take its toll on any artistic soul. I still love her work, her absolute devotion to the music and to the art. She has the gift of reaching into people's souls and touching them, moving them beyond words and that hasn't changed. But there's been something missing of late, at least for me, and I truly hope that that changes, whether it's actually her, or in my own "ears." Regardless, "Brava, Joyce!"
Seems like you took the words out of my mouth. It causes me some sort of unease to notice that some artists favour fireworks over modesty. Perharps the logic we live in nowadays leads them towards this direction. But less is so much more. I hope she remembers that eventually.
The lyrics ... Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte, e che sospiri la libertà. Il duolo infranga queste ritorte, de' miei martiri sol per pietà. Let me weep over my cruel fate, and let me sigh for liberty. May sorrow shatter these chains, for my torments

So true!
Je partage entièrement votre opinion !
Too bad the beauty of music hasn't cured us of atrocities.
♥️💫
I can only agree !

I’m deeply envious I’m sure has being a magic experience
Good for you, I have several of those minutes and are wonderful experience
Joyce DiDonato your voice is sent from Heaven. It is like hearing this aria for the first time. Thank you for helping me with my voice.

This is an aria, not a song.
for me, the way she sings this is perfection, she treats it with sensitivity and gentleness- and the piece is not rushed, she allows all the beauty of every note to drift off into the air - angelic
Agreed. An unqualified joy to listen to.
The beautiful Joyce - both inside & out actually - but few are even capable of being this pure and effortless. In a class by herself I think.
I like this slower than usual version. Gives grace to the music.
This is pure beauty - the setting, the music, the performers, and the talent. I hope civilisation continues in this troubled time.
those dramatic crescendos are amazing they gave the song so much life
listening from turkey with full admiration. Such a masterpiece.
shows how limitless human creativity is. Handel is definitely a genius

Well she does include ornamentation. I guess your comment proves she's got the Goldiocks zone
NOT too much .
Pathos... just that. I need search no further.
@Mark excellent, insightful comment. I'd add, and she nailed it.

Never too late - even if heard once only. I'm 71.
How can someone thumbs down this video it's so beautiful and it takes a long time to learn
Heavenly! I have been fond of this aria for years. What a wonderful surprise to find this today.
You can just hear the suffering and pain. What a beautiful performance. Brava Joyce.
This is beautiful. Love her voice, love her interpretation.
Simplemente, ¡sublime, Joyce! Un bravo, también, por IL Pomo d'Oro.
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri
La libertà.
Il duolo infranga
Queste ritorte,
De' miei martiri

I’m speechless. She sings with her heart and so beautiful
Gorgeous ornamentation in the violin line at the end
indeed
tout à fait d'accord
Who are the players, anybody know? Wonderful leader especially
Listening to this makes life worthwhile! This performance is superb!

I hope your surgery went well, Pati.

Heart-rendingly beautiful. What more could you ask for?
Yes, her interpretation is outstanding!
Sublime! Cannot wait to hear Joyce sing this in Dublin this June (2017) also accompanied by the excellent il Pomo d'Oro
great Mezzo Soprano italo american Joyce DiDonato..wonderful performance...
brianzolo1 Actually she's not italo-american ;)
brianzolo1 but yeah, great performance :)
shure ....in ur opinion Di Donato is typical anglo saxon surname.....)) Di Donato is italian origin name !!
brianzolo1 Her real surname is Flaherty.
Born in Kansas in 1966...Father by italian origin...mother irish one....

+Spring Walklike "and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free'
That scene in “Shawshank Redemption was actually the “letter duet” from “The Marriage of Figaro.”
All so wonderfully done. Beautiful setting of that era along with period instruments...and of course, a beautiful voice. Thank you. ♥
Yes period instruments but not period singing she did too much vibrato its baroque
@@lpeh6143 oh! :-O
@@1viva there is another version from her though where she actually sings in baroque style
@@lpeh6143 oh, thank you. I was not aware that during the Baroque period, Singing with vibrato was not in fashion...
What a beautiful and deeply touching performance.
In my subjective opinion, this is the best interpretation of this song.
She is lovely, isn't she?
so far
Bro this wasnt even sung in the way handel wanted it to be wayyy to much vibrato by the singer wayyy too much
Don't know if the best but undoubtedly up there.
I love this music
This is very beautyful
This scene is wonderful with this song!
Venezia, Haendel, un pensiero per l'immortale Carlo Broschi... E questa voce celestiale! Celestiale!!! Bravissima, splendida.
Grazie!!!
So moving. Brought a tear to my eye
Complimenti per la chiara espressione vocale e timbrica!
Complimenti ai violinisti!
Потрясающая музыка, огромное спасибо,. Джойс. Чудо. Божественный голос.
So beautiful. In love with this. Quite simple.
Splendida esecuzione!
a fantadtic piece of music from händel,i love this song and feeling relaxed when i hear it.

OliverTwisted01 I agree. the best composers were Handel, RVW (Rafe Vaughan Williams), and Sir David Willcocks.
That violin solo at the end was perfect
A wonderful performance by Ms DiDonato , that captures the mind from it's worldly woes & gently like an angel in ethereal flight takes it to a verdant haven of quiet joy 👏
The. correct title is. MISS DiDonato, m.s.means manuscript or multiple sclerosis, PERIOD
@@ronaldmessina4229 WTF??? It's Ms. not m.s.
*Ms* means reference to a woman of unknown marital status. PERIOD.
Wow I was moved to tears!!
i'm practicing this song for my singing lessons and i cry every single time i hear this woman, i can't rehearse like this 🥺😢 it just sounds so beautiful and genuine, i wanna sing like her in the future 🥰 with her raw emotion, gentleness and effortlessness
Perfect rendition, I would say. Most importantly, a true beauty
Maravillosa interpretación. Bravo
Wow I really love this music I first heard it as a sound track of a movie I was watching

Qué voz más hermosa. Tuve la oportunidad de verla en Santiago de Chile y fue un privilegio. Simpática, bonita, y una voz dominada y hermosa.
Bravo Ms DiDonato and above all George Frederick Handel!!!!!!

My FAVORITE baroque aria of all time.

I think this might be the most beautiful aria ever written...it sort of makes me stop breathing!
