One of the most beautiful arias ever written by Handel is "Ombra mai fu" from his opera "Serse". And this one is certainly one of my favourites! Here is the rendition that I would like to share with you and ask you to comment on it: https://youtu.be/XQ45FyCUk2g It features my colleagues from New Trinity Baroque and mezzo-soprano Dragana Popović. I already posted it couple of years ago, but we just recently upgraded it to the higher-resolution 4K video format for the NTB's YouTube channel, and I hope you will like it. (Also, by the way, if you didn't already have a chance to visit NTB's YouTube channel, you can do so after watching this video or going directly to YouTube.com/newtrinitybaroque).
