Rinaldo's aria 'Cara sposa' from Handel's opera of the same name. sung by Iestyn Davies - countertenor, with The State Chamber Orchestra of Russia dir.Laurence Cummings
Iestyn Davies is the most expressive and musical counter-tenor - indeed the best counter-tenor - that this country has ever produced. I first heard him towards the start of his career and was entranced by the beauty of his voice. And I felt sure that he was going places! Thank you for your art, Mr Davies. I am a singer (mezzo-contralto) and have learnt so much from you
He sings this aria beautifully. Apart from the beautiful melody and moving orchestration I also love the wandering, lost feeling created by the strings at the start.,
Handel just turned out amazing aria after amazing aria.....top 10 hits almost every time! The very greatest tunesmith who ever lived....and listen to the responses and timbres of the orchestra....nor Bach, nor Telemann, noe Hasse , nor A Scarlatti ever did anything this integral and musically moving....
Exact! Bach didn't know how to compose arias, he was not a good melodist. Handel was the supreme master of the genre, lots of sublime arias, no one beats him.
Such a beautiful and original rendition! Great coloratura! So light and delicate in the second part! Never heard anything even close to such vocal embellishments in this aria in the 3rd part! Fantastic!
I have never heard such beautiful purity in a counter tenor voice as this.
I am not ashamed to admit I am addicted to this gentleman's singing. Absolutely stunning.

Not just the country but the world has produced.

How this aria creates a sense of loss and longing is amazing!

Couldn't agree more.

Goosebumps!! Such a sweet voice. I could listen to this all day.
What an interesting and beautiful contratenor voice and I did not know him. Such a delightfull!
Невероятный голос! Талантище настоящий! Спасибо Европе за великолепных композиторов и соответствующих исполнителей! Спасибо
И у нас есть истинные таланты-контртеноры: Михаил Широченко, молодой, но такой яркий и потрясающе пластичный.
@@user-ud9ee3pe7j ну ничего себе! Спасибо вам. Так бы, наверное, и не узнал, что есть такой исполнитель.
Iestyn Davies and Laurence Cummings, truly the dream team for this music! ❤️
BEAUTIFUL!! So delicate and how your voice carries... just beautiful!!
부드러움과 깊이와 열정이 느껴지는 그의 음색에서 빠져나오기가 힘듭니다.
Beautiful and wonderful voice!
Какой талант, какое чудесное пение. Джастин, ты гениален!

A lovely, moving reminder of aria as performed in Farinelli, Belasco Theatre, March 17. Bravo! And thank you.
Such a beautiful and original rendition! Great coloratura! So light and delicate in the second part! Never heard anything even close to such vocal embellishments in this aria in the 3rd part! Fantastic!

Parabéns lestyn Davies ! Voz perfeita ! Esplendida ! Linda musica. Abraço (Brazil)
Saw "Messiah" at the Barbican this week, but needed a top-up. This is just *chef kiss*
Such a shame that many consider Handel's operas a bore - full of delights such as this.
Only a philistine could consider Handel's operas a bore.
Thanks for posting. Beautiful
