While I'm still on the subject of Joan Sutherland and Handel, I decided to post what seems to me one of Handel's best creations: the title heroine's closing Act Two aria in "Alcina". As per tradition, the aria opens with a long and very dramatic recitative: first, Alcina laments the loss of Ruggiero, the man she loves, who managed to free himself from the sorceress magic. Then, with almost no orchestral accompaniment, we get a furious call to the spirits. What follows is a very striking passage. The spirits are not coming, which causes Alcina great distress. She calls for her servants, she threatens them, but to no avail: she is greeted by deadly silence; the magic has left the sorceress. A lovely lament follows brilliantly set against the urgent playing of the strings. Alcina continues to call for the spirits almost automatically, she comprehends that no one will come to help her. The B section seems to be almost a plea for help: Alcina is desperate, finding her for the first time truly alone. What is very striking, the music makes us deeply feel the anti-heroine's torment: quite possibly she was just a lonely woman who just wanted love but went too far to get it... Anyway, the aria is beautiful. It helps greatly that Joan Sutherland manages to make much of it: the singing is tonally varied and wonderfully beautiful (the lament always brings tears to my eyes); what's more, it's a very dramatic reading: the recitative is well-acted, while the aria has a very tearful .... + Informações

It was Handel's first opera for London, and also the first Italian opera specifically composed for the London stage. The concept of opera as a wholly sung musical drama was still new in Britain, and through the first successful production was an English version of Giovanni Bononcini's Camilla in 1706, the popularity of Italian singers ? especially the sensational castrati ? swiftly established opera in the Italian language as the standard form. ...
