Pur ti miro - Nuria Rial, Philippe Jaroussky, Christina Pluhar and l'Arpeggiata (Claudio Monteverdi)

[Rosmai07]

Beautiful voice beautiful work.

[askim925]

The greatest version of Pur ti miro on Youtube.

[Homoclassicus]

This is a great performance, and the instrumental introduction sounds incredibly modern and rich. The music written by Monteverdi sometimes sounds more creative and up to date than most of the music composed nowadays. It fits the harmonies we "modern people" like and need to hear in a great way.

[polpofn]

I would be the baroque violin in the hands of Veronica. Skuplik

Just so I could reach the paradise.

an affectionate greeting to those who play this wonderful song.

i hate life but this makes it worth it

[Pedjo7]

the Cazzati cciacone it's pretty fun! :P

[42Nannyann]

love this, dont ussually listen to classical music but thanks to u tube and ite links am widening my music choices.

[mauriciomille]

@42Nannyann is he castratti?

[tobiassegura]

@mauriciomille no you retard, that's illegal.. this is called a countertenor

[Homoclassicus]

@mauriciomille No, since the early 19th century there is no castrato anymore. In the late 18th century the castrati were already becoming out of fashion. And nowadays it's completely illegal, hehe. The men who sing in these higher tessituras almost disappeared for some time, but since some decades ago they "re-appeared" with the countertenors, who are men - I mean, man-like men, indeed hehe - who simply train their voices to be able to sing like sopranos or mezzo-sopranos.

[Cantatoria]

I like the wonderful art of Arpeggiata and their soloists very much, but the nuance I criticise is, that here, the violonist bows inaccurately, because it sounds "unclean" (as English isn't my native language, I dont know another word for it).

Is that inherent for that kind of old baroque music?

[TheBeatrixmaria]

Sorry, not translated: What a wonderful music. Thanks for the upload!

[TheBeatrixmaria]

Milyen csodálatos zene. Köszönöm a feltöltést!

[lolalilia]

La limpieza de la resonancia y la armonía

[OpenforSexerotica]

Nice interpretation.

[oreomypit]

hey shit for brains you could even tell a baritone to a whore...

[pieranka]

it is Monteverdi's aria from Coronation of Poppea, but not a part of the opera usually performed, very last part of it

[1964cosimo]

@vozdejohana: la prima parte è una ciaccona di Cazzati

[tattisalles1989]

Sublime!

[bandruid]

Me voló la cabeza!!!!!!!!!!!! Gracias!!! ♥♥♥

[tenditinardua]

Nuria is ... as magic

[vozdejohana]

El duo es de Monteverdi, de La coronación de Poppea... lo anterior no lo se.

[adrh47]

A beautiful performance of sublime music - many thanks!

[AuroraOnVenice]

ARPEGGIATA FOREVER. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!­!!!! I'M IN PARADISE

That's an odd choice of words: "subjected to classical music" in the information section.

Belíssimo arranjo; Belíssimo local. Grandes nomes da música: Jaroussky e Rial... Emocionante!

[essenciademusica]

Anyone have this ciaccona of l arperggiata? But in this version she is wonderful! They could send me by email? I thank you!

[Kievest]

Adore Monteverdi's music played authentically on period instruments! Prince

Philippe and the lovely Nuria Rial have harmoniously matched voices in this

elegant and melodious duet! Expressive give and take as voices and instruments

create a tapestry of warm and haunting sonority! Thank you for posting!

Happy New Year!

[musaraigne21]

Vraiment SUPERBE. Merci.

[KeElayAnG]

wonderful voice!!! what a shame i don't understand the lyrics >_<

[pjgdelapre]

Sublime. From L'Incoronazione di Poppea by Claudio Monteverdi.

[divamojo]

It's definitely Monteverdi, from l'Incoronazione di Poppea, final act, although the interpretation is alot more rythmic than what the score suggests. Interesting new way of presenting it though, I find it refreshing.

[EyMeng]

this is the shyte! 5/5

[kenmorris]

My remarks about this performance are below. Un altra volta, Bravissimi !

Several questions:

One: Is the antiphonal music at the beginning by

Bertali, Merula, Sacrati, Ferrari or Monteverdi? Can someone who

really knows the music of the seicento give us a vetted answer.

Two: I have watched every youtube of Pur ti miro, and, with great

respect, none of them come close to the transcendent effect

that Nuria and Philippe displayed here. I look foward to hearing from

others. An die Musik !

[kenmorris]

Splendido ! Superbi ! Straordinari!

I had the pleasure of hearing L'arpeggiata last Friday at Carnegie Hall (Zankel)

It was transformative. Philippe was incredible, pitch perfect and brilliantly

effective in Ohime ch'io cado, Doron controls and creates with the cornetto nero as if he were Wynton Marsalis AND John Coltrane, Veronika was stunning - musically and in every way. Christina's concept for Monteverdi is

visionary. Bravi !

[rosamattina31]

Che splendore!

[essenciademusica]

Esta belissima introdução feita pelo L arpeggiata é de qual compositor???

E qual o titulo desta composição?

This gorgeous introduction by L Arpeggiata is what composer??

And what is the title of this composition?

thanks!

[drfp2000]

@essenciademusica The introduction is the Ciaccona by Tarquinio Merula

[lapizzaria24]

I love this!!!!

[eulero75]

@lapizzaria24 Me too! Io pure! Yo tambien! Eu tambem! Ich auch! Moi aussì!

[FromTheSouthernTip]

I like nothing better than Rial and Jaroussky in concert, but the lack of chemistry between them makes this an uncharacteristically lacklustre performance.

[natureschild1]

Simply fantastic! Such gifted musicians... the voices are enlaced so beautifully, they truly are embracing eachother ( Pur ti stringo) Pure delight!

[IA2329]

I've sung this as a tenor with soprano and thoroughly enjoyed it - this is a beautiful rendition - thank you

[qw3rtydud3]

Lovely, would be nice to see some interaction between the two of them, would be more convincing.

[mradaChris]

Beautiful!

[MUSICnCOFFEE247]

Beautiful! Beautiful emotion from the counter tenor! Very beautiful voice and style! Apparently Monteverdi did not write this final duet in the opera. There is an audible break/difference in composition between this duet and the rest of the opera. Still, it's truly a beautiful piece of music.

[menxons1]

joder amb la del cal gasparo!!!

[charlesbonares]

I would love to hear L'Arpeggiatta performing the complete L'incoronazione di Poppea!

Or Marco Beasley performing Orfeo!

[codswallop321]

Loved the vocal duet, but loved the cornet playing even more! Fab

[ariastoteles]

¡Gracias Manuel Millán por compartir esto en tu hermoso blog!

[anca1966]

quelle emotion....merci ...

[CowboyBebop444]

great tune....fantastic

[Mayaibrahimchah]

My favorite video!

Philippe Jarrousky não é um varão ungido.

[charlesbonares]

@RamirRMA O que isso tem a ver com música????

[RamirRMA]

@charlesbonares Tudo. Ele não é do Senhor.

(LOL)

[madhukara79]

it ia in Monteverdi's opera but it is attributed to Ferrari and it's proved!!! Everybody who study music and musicology knows it. Isn't it funny that the most touching duet in the opera was composed by somebody else? Monteverdi rules though!

[uranoinpesci]

Monteverdi, l'incoronazione di poppea!

[gothiclove84]

this song is gorgous...i prefer the male cunter tenor voice as oppose to a normal tenor when it comes to baroque opera.

[rdespradel]

Belissimo!!!

[atazar100]

Bonito duo, de lo mejor que se puede escuchar.

gracias.

[vedochiaro100]

Ce poco da fa' Monteverdi è sempre er meio...

[PJisPureJoy]

Philippe my love. You look gay and so hot. You are a real diva. Brava, my darling. Your sexy full feminine lips drive me crazy. I wanna make love with you and marry you.

[yglofmi]

I have no doubt Philippe will say yes.

[PJisPureJoy]

@yglofmi How can I meet him in person then? Can you help?

[signingupiseasyd]

@yglofmi : )

[JordanSean]

hahahaha I love it!

[Schtroumpfland]

could the first piece be the "Ciacona" by Tarquinio Merula (1595 - 1665) ?

[Jearryy]

I like it! It's very good.

Philippe is the Best.

Jearryy

[eulero75]

The initial song is a Ciaccona without doubt...but could it be a variation of Zefiro Torna??

[robwaha]

The first piece played is "Ciacona", by Antonio Bertali (1605-1669)

[mhouins]

Not sure this aria is a Monteverdi's one. It seems Benedetto Ferrari was the actual composer.

[ClassicalRelated]

If you can give me more details I shall change the information if your information proves to be correct.

[MezzoDelCamin]

@ClassicalRelated

Pur ti miro is definitely the closing aria of Monteverdi's "Poppea" - hence, no need for you to edit anything :-)

(Even if the intro is quite debatble...)

[MezzoDelCamin]

@ClassicalRelated

Pur ti miro is definitely the closing aria of Monteverdi's "Poppea" - hence, no need for you to edit anything :-)

(Even if the intro is quite debatble...)

[idaspe]

@ClassicalRelated As "Son qual nave ch'agitata" is from Hasse's Artaserse but was written by R.Broschi, "Pur ti miro" is from L'inco... but was written by B.Ferrari (Il pastor regio, 1640). The best for you :o)

[uranoinpesci]

@ClassicalRelated Monteverdi, l'incoronazione di Poppea

[rumbidzai]

@ClassicalRelated It's a popular theory, but not confirmed. Some musicologists have suggested that he might have had help finishing Poppea. This duet in particular is considered to stand out a bit from the rest of the opera in style which has lead to Ferrari being suggested as the composer. Judge yourself :)

[Mifli]

@ClassicalRelated my father told me the same (he studied (especially early-) music). I think Benedetto Ferrari is the name he mentioned. At least i'm sure that he said it isn't Monteverdi's work. Well, my comment doesn't prove anything, i was just happy to be able to contribute something :)

[iulius951]

@ClassicalRelated There are several articles, including by Alan Curtis (the author of the critical edition), that prove quite convincingly that this duet was not by Monteverdi and probably is by Ferrari. There is a good chance that other numbers in this opera also were not by the aging Monteverdi. Incidentally, the opera in the original libretto closes with the scene preceding this duet....

[OperaRich]

@ClassicalRelated This is a very complicated issue centred around libretti, and mhouins has caught only the tail-end of a long argument. in the end I Think that the scholar Anthony Pryer offers the most persuasive case that Monteverdi is the composer we can thank for this superb duet.

[uranoinpesci]

@mhouins Monteverdi, L'incoronazione di Poppea!

[vanpo06]

@mhouins

Yes a 1640 Benedetto Ferrari compsition ; he was a very famous thorb player and composer (1603/4-1681)

[Orgelelke]

@mhouins

The composer of the first few minutes (0:00 - 1:19) isn't Monteverdi. It's Antonio Bertali.

[Liszt31]

@Orgelelke It's a Maurizio Cazzati's Ciacconna (Arpeggiata version)

[EyMeng]

@mhouins it is debatable either way.

[Phabathanbob]

@mhouins Monteverdi, Ferrari, Sacrati or Cavalli ? We will never know who really wrote it. Just rejoice that is is a very beautiful duet that we can still hear today!

[Mee51]

Absolutely fantastic!!! What a duet!!!!

Thank you very much!

[Anavyia]

Beautiful I love the duet oh so much, thanks

[humanist7117]

Superb artistry!!
