Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Handel as he should be sung
Hey, can this lady sing!!!
Pumped through expensive speakers on my old steam driven amplifier and CD player, her voice rocked the room. It was like being visited by half a dozen different women. Cleopatra popped in a couple of times to tell me her woes. Alminera sang of her despair (far, far better than most I have heard). Medea appeared to tell me of her love and her jealousy. I thought that Armida's anger was going to bring the walls down - boy that girl is ANGRY. Semele, falling under Zeus' spell captivated me and was captivated. One, of course, shouldn't be sexist but to be treated to the sight of such a beautiful woman appearing as all these beautiful women would, indeed, be a pleasure. I, unfortunately, can't afford Glyndebourne ... Read More:


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A fantastic debut
This is a very good debut recording from an upcoming soprano. Being a big admirer of Baroque and Handel my expectations were rather high, and it isn't quite as good as the recordings of Ruth Ann Swenson or Magdalena Kozena, but she is still a force to be reckoned with. Although the voice isn't quite as securely agile in this repertoire, she is very good at investing each aria with individuality and character. Still a very enjoyable recording and after having fallen in love with her as Cleopatra I'm looking forward to hearing more from her.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good debut from Glyndebourne star.
Danielle de Niese cements her growing reputation in the operatic world with this collection of arias from Handel's operas.

It is perhaps no surprise that the 27-year old singer, best known for her show-stealing performance in David McVicar's 2005 production of Giulio Cesare at Glyndebourne (available on an excellent DVD that I can highly recommend), chose material either from or very similar to her current operatic repertoire for her debut disc.

Wisely, she was also able to secure the services of William Christie, conductor of that famous Glyndebourne performance, to assist her. On this disc William conducts the "Les Arts Florissants" orchestra with some aplomb.

The result is a very good CD which I would say is ... Read More:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Opera therapy

Australian born (1980) American soprano Danielle de Niese has been singing opera since she turned professional at the age of 15. At age 19 she played Barbarina in `Le Nozze di Figaro' with Renee Fleming, Cecilia Bartoli and Bryn Terfel, and she played the title role in Ravel's `L'Enfant et les Sortileges' as well as appearing in the Puccini operas `Gianni Schicchi' as Lauretta and `Falstaff' as Nannetta.

It was after her portrayal of Cleopatra in Handel's `Giulio Cesare in Egitto' at the 2005 Glyndebourne Festival though that she started to find international fame. She appeared in Rameau's `Les Indes Galantes', Gluck's `Orfeo ed Euridice', played roles of Poppea in Monteverdi's `L'incoronazione di Poppea' and Despina in Mozart's ... Read More:
