Every week, it seems, the music videos produced to accompany major classical album releases get more lavish and musically engaging. Even so, the new film below featuring Joyce DiDonato singing 'Lascia ch'io pianga' from Handel's Rinaldo is a special achievement. The aria will be included on DiDonato's forthcoming album 'In War & Peace', which is due for release on November 4 by Erato. A revealing interview with DiDonato will be featured in Gramophone's November issue, which will be available to subscribers on November 4 and on general sale from November 9.
