G F Händel, Lascia Chio pianga, two Clasical Guitars (Pianoteq)

I don't know how many times I have listened to this piece. It is so so beautiful, l feel l could float away, be carried away, into the music…..
"Lascia ch'io pianga" from "Rinaldo" by George Frideric Handel (English: "Let me weep"), originally "Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa" (English: "Leave the Thorn, Take the Rose")

https://youtu.be/D32iDdHtuRw

In 1711, Handel used the music for his London opera Rinaldo and its act 2 aria "Lascia ch'io pianga" ("Let me weep"), a heartfelt plea for her liberty addressed by the character Almirena to her abductor Argante. Rinaldo was a triumph, and it is with this work that the aria is chiefly associated.

All the best, everyone
