Hidden treasures - Gioacchino Rossini - Il viaggio a Reims (1825) - "Arpa gentil"

[vanderpuch1]

The NY production of Le Voyage à Rheims was made into a celebration of the European Union.

I don't think that "I Dreamed I Dwelt in Marble Halls" was a folk song. Even "Home, Sweet Home" was not a folk song.

Heavenly...

For some odd reason, probably, this aria reminds me of "I dreamed I dwelled in Marble Halls" from Balfe's "Bohemian Girl"! But isn't the latter a folks tune...?

@Firuzens I prefer Gasdia, even if Sylvia McNair's tecnique is better.

This opera is full of highlights! The is perhaps a light and beautiful change of pace in this energetic ensemble opera.

This is gorgeous. Who is the soprano ? I love this aria. It has a heavenly, angelic quality - enhanced by the harp music, a gifted lyric soprano can make this sound so beautiful, angelic, and even melancholy. It sounds almost like the off-stage soprano in the role of the angel singing at the end of the Auto Di Fe from Verdi's Don Carlo
