Joan Sutherland's encore in Venice after a performance of George Frideric Handel's Alcina, set to the lyrics of Alcina's aria "Ma quando tornerai" (forgive the misspelling above).
Nicola Rescigno conducts, and I am unsure who plays the trumpet, though I don't believe he would enthusiastically take credit for his performance here.

The sound here is significantly better than the filtered and poorly-sourced BellaVoce CD release. I further did some equalization and dehumming on the source heard here, so as to bring out more color from Sutherland's voice and the orchestra.

Enjoy!
