It is an aria from Donizetti's opera Elissir D'Amore, in the opera it is sang by a male (see Pavarotti). There is another gorgeous version here, her with Helmut Lotti and symphonic orchestra in Brussels, Belgium
I have long been impressed with Isobel Cooper's voice. Many people can hit a note. Some can sound wonderful. Few make it as a living. It is astonishing that this is one of the only things I can find on RU-vid that she has done. (I love her voice, for me, there is a very special quality to the tone. And so I buy her albums. It would just be comforting to know that many other people felt as I do.)
John Preston, thank you very much for introducing Isobel Cooper. On-line browzing [Izzy singer wiki] did not bring me any result. After reading your comment I easily found the wiki-info and the Izzy's website. Thanks to your respect for the art of her operatic pop soprano, I also became the fan of telanted English singer Isobel Cooper.
I testi italiani a volte mancano di un po 'di significato per quelli di noi che non sono nativi di questa lingua, ma questa interpretazione è assolutamente squisita e dà tutto il significato che potrebbe mancare.
Quienes saboren con sú oído, ésta belleza!; de seguro acariciaran La sutileza del saber amar. Gracias Ana Sandoval por hacerme descubrir a Izzi!. COLOMBIA - URUGUAY. NOMA!!!
Una furtiva lagrima Negli occhi suoi spunto: Quelle festose giovani Invidiar sembro. Che piu cercando io vo? Che piu cercando io vo? M’ama! Sì, m’ama, lo vedo, lo vedo. Un solo instante i palpiti Del suo bel cor sentir! I miei sospir, confondere Per poco a' suoi sospir! I palpiti, i palpiti sentir, Confondere i miei coi suoi sospir Cielo, si puo morir! Di piu non chiedo, non chiedo. Ah! Cielo, si puo, si puo morir, Di piu non chiedo, non chiedo. Si puo morir, si puo morir d’amor.
" I think it is one of the most beautiful video's I have seen" is a matter of subjective tastes - it is delightful and coherent, perfect in details, 4 sure. We know her: Izzy is just GREAT. Having read the Italian esthetic treatise on kitsch (a major trend of contemporary art), I believe serRudyll is not depreciating at all the video, but she\he's showing the other side of the coin: all its coherence points to an out-of-time, anti-modern world of fantasy. This is the Truth of the video
Nobody said the song was actually written by Izzy. The interpretation of the song is indeed by Izzy, and I'm pretty sure that's what the person who posted it, meant. Nobody "took" the piece. It is normal to sing a song written and performed initially by someone else. It happens all the time.
@mtenor I absolutely agree with you! Who is this Izzy, by the way? Singing such a famous male aria in this squeaking voice....Strange how people are not afraid of doing anything, anything at all...It is just like "Casta Diva" sang by Ricky Martin, isn't it?!
Es fa difícil acceptar que una cantant de cançons lleugeres pugui interpretar aquesta preciosa ària de l' elisir d'amore amb la dignitat que ho fa la Izzy. D'acord que no té la potència d'un Pavarotti ni d'un Bocelli, però infon a l'ària una espiritualitat i una delicadesa que cap tenor que hagi escoltat li sap infondre. Izzy, has aconseguit una petita peça mestra.
