About This Song

About "Ariodante HWV 33 / Act 1 : Handel: Ariodante HWV 33 / Act 1: Oh! felice mio core! (Live)" by Anne Sofie Von Otter

A burst of joy—'Oh! felice mio core!'—sung with the breathless rush of a heart that has just learned its own name. Von Otter's coloratura is a fountain of relief, each trill a splash of light. The tension is the split second before happiness: the fear that it might vanish if you blink.
