mia cruda sorte,
e che sospiri la libertà.
Il duolo infranga queste ritorte
de' miei martiri sol per pietà.

Let my sorrow break the chains
of my suffering, out of pity.

You mean Händel?
This peice will always hold a special place in my families heart. A year ago my nana past away peacefully and my cousin who was a former soprano sang this aria at the funeral as it was one of her favorite pieces and Handel was her favorite composer. She loved the Water Music and the Messiah as well even though we are a Jewish family. I miss her very much.

This is how Handel should be performed. The blend of instruments and voice is amazing. I normally don't like listening to sopranos but I have to say that this performance is beautiful and I could listen forever.

She's using vibrato sparigly, giving it a warm, straight tone to match the strings. It makes all instruments blend really well. Notice she uses more vibrato when just being accompanied by the basso continuo, then goes back to pure tone

I came here after our music teacher told us to search operas and take our time to appreciate this kind of music. I like it btw:)
This is the most beatiful, angelical version of this aria. Her voice is pure an the orchestra blends perfect
I love this aria, it has such a hauntingly sad beauty about it.
In a word, "heavenly".
Love this aria, learned it over 20 years ago & is one of my favourites - this version with the instruments and voice/interpretation together is fantastic! thank you!

I feel - deeply inside me - that this remains the best ever Lascia ch'io pianga. That is saying something because I had thought dear Joyces's would never be surpassed. But the emotion bedded in the piece draws such depth from all "our" women AND the strings. As others have said with this - one instrument. Beautiful - play it again DeeDee

Handel was indeed a master, and here his work is being played by artists who are also masters. They are definitely among the top tear of baroque chamber orchestras. I don't know how it can get much better. Mr. Handel would be pleased, I'm sure.
I've been looking for this damn piece since I heard it on classic fm and was dumbstruck. I couldn't for the life of me remember the name or the composer so I'd just spend hours in the day looking around for it and finally I found it almost accidentally. my search was not in vain and as usual this channel has the best version I've heard. Bravo.

Kyle Whitehead -- Handel used the same music for another piece, "Lascia la Spina", which you might also enjoy. "Lascia la Spina" is from "Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno" while "Lascia Ch'io Pianga" is from "Rinaldo". My own favorite recording of "Laschia la Spina" is the one by Cecilia Bartoli.

From the players and what they're wearing, this seems to be from the same concert as that sublime performance of Corelli's Concerto in D Major Op. 6 No. 4. What a concert that must have been! Both of these performances bring me to tears of joy with their beauty.

Handel would be proud of you all, so beautiful and with much emotion and sensitivity, thank so much.
Absolutely lovely. Händel is one of my favourite composers.
Music from heaven, there is no other explanation.
I feel high spirited every time I listen to any work of Hendel. Althogh it is calming but not sad, it can be described as something delightful peaceful and joyful simutaneously. Hedel is my therapist in some way. Thank him for my soul cure when I am depressed.
I am absolutely spellbound by this wonderful Aria, and this performance of it!
And the lyrics are wonderful...full of melancholia Handel!! "Let me weep My cruel fate, And that I should have freedom. The duel infringes within these twisted places, in my sufferings I pray for mercy." Lascia ch'io pianga Mia cruda sorte, E che sospiri La libertà. Il duolo infranga Queste ritorte, De' miei martiri Sol per pietà.
This fits me. I have never cried so much. Morte mia bella moglie. Innamorato mia.
This is simply (but not simple) the best interpretation I ever heard. Magnificent voice and superb accompaniment.

A beautiful piece of music - clever old Handel that he could compose a real tearjerker like this! Rinaldo was the first Italian opera to be produced in London and it was revived several times to great acclaim. Women weren't allowed to perform on stage so the part was sung by a castrati, the most famous one being Farinelli.
I worship this amazing musical work !!!
Stunning performance.

I love listening to this song on repeat every Sunday morning!
such an amazing ensemble, they all bring an amazing touch to this piece
Splendid interpretation !
Once again a perfect rendition. The precision of the ensemble's playing and wonderful balance of sound between the instruments and between vocalist is superb. This song haunts me in a good way and I find myself coming back to listen each night.
I love this piece ever since i was a young girl, now i am growing close to 50 and i love it even more. This aria convinced me that to encounter, once in life time, sorrow and bitterness, seems to be a reliable path to arrive love and liberty; which in other words, benevolence and esthetics. 🥀💕
Handel, Bach, Telemann, Corelli, Purcell, all baroque and early music composers, are a food suplier for our heart and mind, provided by groups such as Voices of Music. Thank you very much.
