Sandrine Piau as Handel’s Alcina - Ah! Mio cor - Les Talens Lyriques

With special thanks to the great OEDIPUS COLONEUS who I took this part of the production from, in order to highlight this ground- and heartbreaking performance of Sandrine Piau who I adore, and to MEZZO who kindly recorded and broadcast it live from La Monnaie in 2015. *** Dear COPYRIGHT HOLDER, if you have any problems with this being on YouTube, please contact me, and I will remove it immediately. Thank you!
