Ever so often I try to watch other videos of this aria. Then I return to this one, go kind of weak in the knees, and ... sorry, what was I saying ... ?
Parto, ma tu ben mio, Sesto's aria from La Clemenza di Tito Parto, ma tu ben mio, Meco ritorna in pace; Saro qual piu ti piace; Quel che vorrai fato. Guardami, e tutto oblio, E a vendicarti io volo; A questo sguardo dolo Da me si pensera. Ah qual poter, oh Dei! Donaste alla belta.
Sabes que esta cantante tiene una capacidad enorme de respiración, de aire, porque esta mas lentas q otras versiones y no esta mal, porque cada director puede hacer su versión pero la cantante hacer esa enorme agilidad sin poder respirar en el medio es para sacarse el sombrero.
This is just terrific singing and acting by Sarah Connolly, Thanks so very much for sharing it. It certainly gives one a taste for the promised DVD of the complete production - let 's hope that comes out soon!
@rlee1976 It's 'Guardami e tutto oblio' ie 'When you look at me I forget everything'. So he's not asking her to look at him. Makes sense as the kind of thing you might say while kissing someone who's asked you to kill your best friend.
he's totally asking her to look at him! If it's not clear in this confusing staging, you can tell from the context (ie, Come ti piace imponi, where he says his reward will be a sweet look from her).
Why do you think that? I cannot imagine anyone better than Sarah Connelly in that role. Who would you rather see? There are some amazing counter tenors, David Daniels to name only one. Is that what you are thinking?
