Recitative and aria Xerxes May the Fates be kind, my plane tree, and preserve thy leafy splendour, nor e'er thy glory surrender.Thunder, lightning and rough weather, must henceforth be required ne'er to erode thee, and may no howling tempest e'er incommode thee. Under thy shade, dearly beloved tree, Beauty and Harmony are both displayed.

This performance is in english, not matter. It's a nice performance, but I prefer Rousset.

it was not composed for a countertenor. back at that time castrati were used.

I'm sorry, but I think he's right, English isn't good for opera...Best version of Ombra mai fu is sung by Friz Wunderlich I think.

Nothing. Its great. As was this brilliant ENO production. Ann Murray fantastico.

As far as I know, Handel only wrote oratorio in English, and occasionally songs, but not opera?

Am I? Who was the countertenor for whom the role of Serse was composed for? I know David Daniel much better than you think, and he only sings "ombra mai fu" since this is the only aria in the opera where Serse's tessitura is similar to that of an alto. And no, David doesn't sing all of the Handelian roles. How about some probable facts when you post your comments?

i think english language is suited to opera, though it is not so melodic as the italian language |
