Why is not "Ecco Ridente in Cielo" in the list

If given the choice I would have voted of "Ecco Ridente in Cielo"... I specially like how N. Gedda and Luigi Alva perform it.

Rodeny i most go whith u on why they didn't put "Ecco Ridente in Cielo" on the list and yes Gedda and Luigi do perform it good....and the writer of this poll must have poor taste in opera for not to have put it on the list...but if i have to vote from the list i'd vote for "Di quella pira" i love the part that he give the high C stops dry and gives it again..That is how u say it SICK, and "E lucevan le stelle" is in frist that is bad taste.... thank you for your time good day....

Ecco ridente is a very beautiful aria. Please check also Fernando de Lucia and Hermann Jadlowker, who are singing the aria beautifully.

And last but not least check: Ivan Kozlovsky with his Cadenza from f'' to G. That is a surprising record.

RE: Why is not "Ecco Ridente in Cielo" in the list

Comments and suggestions are always welcome, and, yes, we might have included "Ecco ridente in cielo" in the list, but I could also perfectly well have included "Salut! Demeure chaste pure," "Fra poco a me ricovero," "Un aura amorosa," "Il mio tesoro," "Parmi veder le lagrime," "Ah! sì, ben mio," "Come un bel dì di maggio," "O muto asil del pianto," "Ch'ella mi creda," "Recondita armonia," "Donna non vidi mai," "Rachel, quand du Seigneur," "Gott! welch' Dunkel hier!"... etc. The list is long. But somewhere we had to draw the line.

Jose, I chose the arias for this poll and I do not consider myself of poor taste - that's an insult which is uncalled for. Perhaps you didn't mean any harm, neverthless a little bit of tact, por favor.

Jay
