I think my love for both Handel and Ian Bostridge are pretty well established now, and if you spend much time on this blog, you will probably find yourself getting to know them rather well. Part of me feels that I should be looking for more variety, but honestly, this blog is about the music I love, and, well, this is it. And this particular aria contains, I think, some truly perfect singing, especially in the repeat at the end.
