About This Song
About "Ariodante, HWV 33, Act I : Handel: Ariodante, HWV 33, Act I: Qui d'amor (Live)" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
Von Otter's Ariodante declares love with a clarity that feels almost dangerous, the live setting lending every phrase a nervous edge. Handel's lilting siciliana is a trap dressed as a lullaby—sweetness that knows it will soon curdle. A portrait of devotion before the fall.
