Handel - Da Tempeste - Amanda Forsythe/Apollo's Fire 

The swag of the guy with the pony tail is off the charts.

BRAVO!!! how wonderful performance. The musicians are very good but Amanda is magnificent!

I don't remember being so excited by a da capo in ages. Phenomenal artist.

I love this performance because everyone seems to be enjoying themselves immensely…the music, the talent, the Baroque style. Near perfection.

This must be the finest 6.34m of music available on RU-vid. Perfection personified.

The only thing a man can do is just truly love and adore this woman.. Each time and over and over again.

Not only her voice and technique, but also her personality is amazing! And so is the orchestra! Congratulations and thank you for sharing it with us.

I clicked for Jeannette Sorrell, I stayed for Amanda Forsythe. What a presence, what a voice, what a personality. Magnificient.

This is sublime music played with great joy and Amanda Forsythe is a a brilliant coloratura soprano.

I have a new crush, Amanda Forsythe. What a voice for Baroque.

In listening to Amanda perform this brilliant piece, it brought tears to my eyes because when I was 5 years old, (I am 74 as of this writing) my late mother who was a amazing Colacatrua Soprano use to sing this very piece among others of Handel.

What a soprano! I will just say that there is little that a man can say or praise, any superlatives are few in relation to this magnificent achievement. Things like this inspire and move the human race forward. Thank you Amanda, and thank you to all the members of this fantastic ensemble!

It's unbelievable that this is the first time I've ever heard this amazingly beautiful voice of Amanda Forsyth!! I immediately shared this with my sister and she with her children. We are a blessed musical family and now are blessed again with Amanda!!!

Only perfection…sublime!

Eine der besten Stimmen die z.Zt. Händel interpretieren ist: Amanda Forsythe! Händel würde sie sofort lieben, aber wir lieben sie auch. Viele Grüße aus Norddeutschland an euch alle.

Wow, quite a nightingale. Simply stunning.

That bloke with the pony tail has an unbelievably massive amount of swag lol but saying that I reckon I'd have the same amount if I could play as well as him, he's entitled to it lol, they all are. Fantastic musicians, Amanda Forsythe's voice is something else, her vocal range is of the charts, awesome voice.

Her flashing eyes at the end declare she nailed it, and she did! Beautiful singing. Shoulders back, elbows back, chest forward, producing a sound both precise and passionate. Brava!

Liked Olivier Brault. Fabulous dressed. To dare it, wow. The chain watch, glasses, hair and ribbon, the ribbon around his collar too. Love it. Fits to the music style. Amanda is of course outstanding, with a crystal clear vivid voice. Mastering this extremely difficult piece with ease, great joy, flirting and artistry. A pleasure to hear and watch her. Those challenging eyes.

When I want to show people what virtuosity as a vocalist sounds like, I refer people to THIS performance!

Che bel suono....soave e nobile...e la musica di Handel ... magnifica...lei è bravissima... leggerissima. . amabile...che altro aggiungere....un grande piacere ascoltare una tale bella aria...

Amanda Forsythe’s performance of this aria will never be surpassed!

Oh my goodness, how amazing is this? I am now such a huge fan of this singer. She is wonderful. I do hope she tours when the pandemic is finally over and I can see her in London

Absolutely amazing! Technically flawless with very intelligent and beautiful embellishments in the da-capo and with a lot of passion. Combined with this great orchestra a wonderful performance.

Kudos to the lady on harpsichord who's also effortlessly serving as an excellent conductor to the ensemble. Most accurate rendition hands-down.

No, I couldn't help shaking my smiling head near the end of this performance.

WHAT? She's 38 in this video??? She looks 25!!! Wow! Voice and loks absolutely stunning!!!

I think old handel would have very happy hearing this brilliant performance!

Eine wundervolle Coloratur Sängerin. Da kann man so richtig im 7. Himmel schweben

Handel did not imagine Cleopatra to be a shrinking violet, did he? What fierce energy, joy, and precision she brings to the role!

SUBLIME! Amanda's voice is of breathtaking beauty. Such power, beauty and majesty. Thank you to the musicians too

Oh Mastro Handel, your marvelous arias bring me back to the european theaters of the early eighteenth century

Surely this lady was born to sing Handel !

Her beautiful singing voice is unrivaled, and indescribable

She has an exceptionally beautiful and perfect coloratura. She perform the aria not just as a concert aria but as an opera aria, as it should be sung in concert, too.

Her breath and voice has more controlled than my life ❤️

Wonderful performance, fine acting! What a beautiful, expressive, and nimble voice.

Increible. Handel was one of the great composers in the music history

I never heard this before but I instantly loved it!

I can see why half the world would be in love with Cleopatra if she was anything like this. Amanda - Latin for "lovable" - couldn't have a more fitting name! Bravissima!! And.... Holy cow, that da capo!! Mind-blowing, and so original! Not a single cliche ornament... Never heard anyone sing it like this. She wins. Everything.

Isn't she unbelievable? I follow Lezhneva, Bartoli, Fagioli and.... Amanda. She is incredible and every time I see her live she give an impeccable performance. Brain, beauty, passion and refinement.

I can’t imagine how difficult this is to sing. She does it grace.

I DO NOT HAVE WORDS.I ONLY CAN LISTEN IT

Amanda - Super Star!

Beautiful performance, I put it on my facebook page. The more I listen, the more I like it.

Each time I listen to this : what a joy do these people have ! It makes me feel happy. Great music, excellent voice, excellent musicians 👍👍

Such energy and vivacity, versatility , agility , precision, perfectly executed and all with exquisite tone . A true songbird . Love her top range in particular. Just marvellous. Could listen to her all day.

A VOICE FROM THE CHOIR OF ANGELS IN HEAVEN

Many acclaimed soprano cackled like hens. Lady Amanda warbles like cristalline spring.

Amanda should be so much above many famous singers. She does MUSIC. The more I listen to her the more I just love her.

Heard this live last night, seated about 20 feet from Ms. Forsythe! Exquisite!

This is the most beautiful and uplifting moment of my day. Amanda is a Godess in music. Going to listen to it again, and again, and again, and it never gets old.

I'm here before this was played on penthouse Love you Amanda Forsythe💗💗💗

Un immense talent de la cantatrice et de l'orchestre.C'est vraiment une pure merveille pour les oreilles.

I first listened to Julia Lezhneva singing this same piece and was very much impressed when I heard Amanda Forsythe. They both have wonderful voices.

Perfection. Couldn’t be done better. They are “as one”….

7 years after, always excellent !! From France.

A splendid performance of a vocally demanding aria by Amanda Forsythe 😁👏👏

Bravo - to the Conductor - BRAVO to ALL The players and their Uniques Style of playing BRAVO - This Aria is simply Beautifully performed = BRAVO TO THE SOLOIST 👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏

What a beautiful piece of music by Handel . I believe he would be more than satisfied to hear this amazing voice of Amanda Forsythe to sing his Da Tempeste. Brava !!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous and uplifting.

Tolle Stimme, die die wunderschöne Musik von Georg Friedrich Händel perfekt darbietet.

I like the Haaaaaahaaaahaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaaahahahahahahhahaahaaaaaaaa part :)

I feel fortunate to live near Boston where she is a favorite with the Boston Early Music Festival and with Boston Baroque. This past weekend I saw her perform as Poppea with Anthony Roth Constanzo as Nerone. It was absolutely fabulous! She has been wonderful in every performance I’ve seen.

Amazing. Beautiful, controlled and artistic.

I love German composers like Beethoven, Brahms, Bach and especially Handel! Mrs. Amanda Forsythe is perfect for Handel arias, there is probably no better soprano for Handel arias at the moment, maybe the extraordinary Regula Mühlemann, who has the potential to become one of the best sopranos!

Da tempeste il legno infranto, When the ship, broken by storms, se poi salvo giunge in porto, Succeeds at last in making it to port, non sa più che desiar. It no longer knows what it desires. Così il cor tra pene e pianto, Thus, the heart, after torments and woes, or che trova il suo conforto, Once it recovers its solace, torna l'anima a bear. Is beside itself with bliss.

What a fantastic voice and personality! Incredible. The orchestra is wonderful and allows her to show off her fantastic vocals. Thank you!

Amanda! I'm having so much fun listening to these with my daughter (a budding singer). You are an inspiration to singers everywhere.

I do a translation into modern Italian and English. The words of the song are in archaic and poetic Italian, very difficult to understand by Italians of our times, especially the younger ones Da tempeste il legno infranto - The wood [of the ship] broken by the storms Se poi salvo giunge in porto - If it reaches safety in the port Non sa più che desiar - Has nothing more to desire Così il cor - tra pene e pianto - So the heart - between pain and tears - . Or che trova il suo conforto - When it finds its refuge [in love] - Torna l'anima a bear - Makes the soul happy again

Amanda Forsythe has the voice of an angel! An incredible performance.

Es muy buena en serio. La voz limpia, las coloraturas precisas. Tecnica y estilísticamente fantástica.

Wonderful in every way. A perfect example of Handel's genius.

Just spectacular! The precision and clarity is the best you'll hear from anyone.

How can One man have so much melody in him? Handel was a genius and this is also a genius performance ....

So much trouble to go through just to make a short comment! But this young lady is excellent and has an extremely engaging personality as well as an agile voice. Thank you for posting this video.

Marvelous, extraordinary. The whole ensemble is superb! Amanda is a beautiful lady.

PROSPERA DI GIOIA... & MAGNIFICA nei vocalizzi è la Cantante , nonché SPLENDIDA è la Direttrice d ' orchestra . Complimenti ! BRAVI !! 🌹🌹🌹

Cette vidéo me fait un bien immense. Merci Amanda pour votre fougue, votre joie de vivre manifeste, merci mille fois. Je remets ça chaque jour : c'est devenu ma "drogue". Merveilleuse Amanda !

Handel forever. Thank you for this immortal music and vocals.

Cudowne koloratury, a interpretacja arii wspaniała !!!❤

Miss Forsythe’s smile to the applause is pure happiness

Seeing her and not turning her into a platonic love is impossible. What strength, what joy, what sensuality
