    She sang at the National Concert Hall in Dublin two years ago and was due back last May, a covid cancellation. However in 2019 I was sitting in the front row about 3 yards from her when she sang this, it is in my list of highlights of my entire life, it was 3 minutes of my life I will simply never forget!

    for me, the way she sings this is perfection, she treats it with sensitivity and gentleness- and the piece is not rushed, she allows all the beauty of every note to drift off into the air - angelic

    Wow. The simplicity.. the pathos... the utter submission to a miserable fate.. Her performance seems to send shivers down my spine.. Her rendition seems unfettered by unnecessary "stylisms".. i think this is how Handel intended the song to be sung, in all its frankness and simplicity

    Händel... of this world but, not from this world. Maestro Maximus! Divine, had had his feet on the earth, and his ears in heaven. He didn't write music, he took dictations from God. I do believe that, piously, if I may say so. A privilege to listen to it, to be of this time, and a witness still to his great virtue and geniality. Superb! Bravo, Maestro! Bravissimo!

    I miss this relaxed and less commercial version of DiDonato. This is fabulous. I feel that, as her popularity has skyrocketed in the past two or three years, she has lost some of the innocence that truly set her apart. The commercialization of JDD has taken some of her charm, I fear. She is still amazing, but there is just something tremendous in this performance, and others from several years past that seems lacking in present fare. But perhaps, not haivng been able to see a live performance, I am speaking out of turn.
    But, I do miss the sense of realness, or authenticity. Perhaps a less guarded performance? She's truly at her best when she's, say, the Yankee Diva, as opposed to world superstar Joyce DiDonato. Then again, the loss of "innocence" can take its toll on any artistic soul. I still love her work, her absolute devotion to the music and to the art. She has the gift of reaching into people's souls and touching them, moving them beyond words and that hasn't changed. But there's been something missing of late, at least for me, and I truly hope that that changes, whether it's actually her, or in my own "ears."
    Regardless, "Brava, Joyce!"
