 | "Crude furie" (Paula Rasmussen, "Serse") From Handel's serio-comic opera, "Serse": American mezzo-soprano Paula Rasmussen is wonderfully fiery here as the volatile, plane tree-loving ("Ombra mai fu"-singing) Persian tyrant. Here, the King releases his- rage on learning that Romilda, the woman whom he desires and expects to become his queen, has already married her true love, Arsamene (Serse's brother), with the help of General Ariodate (Italian bass Marcello Lippi) through a misunderstanding by Ariodate. Watch out for the explosive middle! Recitative and aria. "Crude furie degl'orridi abissi aspergetemi d'atro veleno Crolli il mondo, e 'l sole s'eclissi a quest'ira che spira il mio seno!" -- "You savage Furies from the hideous abysses inspire me with your venom! Let the world turn to ash and the sun be eclipsed by my anger, till my heart bursts with fury!" With Christophe Rousset directing Les Talens Lyriques. From Dresden Musikfestspiele, 2000.

German countertenor/Contratenor alemán (n. 1967) Recitativo: Frondi tenere e belle Del mio Platano amato, Per voi risplenda il Fato Tuoni, Lampi, e Procelle Non vi oltraggino mai la cara pace, Ne giunga a profanarvi Austro rapace. Ombra mai fu Di Vegetabile, Care ed amabile Soave piu. Recitativo: Tender and beautiful fronds of my beloved plane tree, Let Fate smile upon you. May thunder, lightning, and storms never bother your dear peace, Nor may you be profaned by blowing winds. Never was made the shade of a plant, dear and loving, or more gentle. |
