Lascia ch’io pianga

September 23, 2009 in Opera

Untitled-1

Today I was preparing one of my talks about opera, nothing serious, but amusing. Looking on Youtube for material about countertenor voice I bumped into Philippe Jaroussky, off course. I have chosen this aria from Handel’s opera Rinaldo. And as in this opera I like to be teaching I have chosen three different voice recording, countertenor, mezzo-soprano and soprano performed by the aforementioned Jaroussky, Cecilia Bartoli and Montserrat Caballé.

I hope you like them.
