I love Angela, and of course her voice is always sublime. For this piece, however, her performance is a bit heavy handed. The beauty of Handel's aria is in its simplicity. A bit too much sub-glottal pressure and weight to the line. This is not Traviata with all of the vocal pyrotechnics and conversely the rawness necessary to portray the rise and fall a joyful courtesan (I bring this up as I believe Angela is the only modern soprano who has even remotely approached the artistry of the Golden Age sopranos in the role of Violetta - ah, why wasn't I born about forty years earlier?). This piece personifies the broken spirit of loss and captivity without the melodrama of Romantic opera. Just let the voice "be."Incidentally, DiDonato does a perfect version of this.

Angela sings it ok but I think Lesley Garret sings it better.

Part of me thinks this isn't the right rep. for her, since her voice is a big 'big' for Handel and part of me loves her singing this. For one thing, she maintains the core of her sound throughout, more than other singers I have heard singing the piece. And I just love the color of Gheorghiu's voice. Like well seasoned oak, with sweetness. Just so beautiful.

angela eres un ángel en este mundo otorgándonos tu arte y tu voz. Bendiciones a tu tierra natal, Rumania, que tantas voces bellas y preciosas ha entregado al arte de la ópera y muchas otras también. BRAVA VOCE!

Here's the original Italian lyrics for Handel's Italian opera Rinaldo. Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte, e che sospiri la libertà. Il duolo infranga queste ritorte de' miei martiri sol per pietà. English: Let me weep my cruel fate and let me sigh for liberty. May sorrow break these chains of my suffering, for pity’s sake.
