YES! How very interesting! I do not know Janet Baker, but I really enjoyed this uniquely presented work! The bassoon was ESPECIAllY sweet sounding...(I did once play that instrument, and can tell you it is not as easy one to play). I also enjoyed watching the score go by and had fun following along. Thank you so much for posting something lovely that was brand new to these ears! Thans so much.
In my opinion in comparison to Mozart, who even lived about 50 years later, this piece of music and its composer are running a hughe step in front of their time. Even a hugher one than Mozart did. Didn't know, that Pergolesi was that progressiv. And I`m studying music.
Ah, trouser roles; the salvation of mezzos everywhere! Although, since this was technically Baroque/Rococo, I suppose it might have been a castrato role. I've never heard this one before, but I love it! Thanks for the post! Pergolesi is one my absolute favorite composers of all time. ^_^
Pergolesi's death might be worse than Mozart's early death, in my opinion. At least with Mozart we were able to appreciate his genius, but Pergolesi was taken before he even reached his prime.
Totally agreed. I actually like Pergolesi's pieces [and Lo frate 'nnamorato in particular] better than those of Mozart. His music seems lighter to me than some of Mozart's very Germanic, very heavy music - this is not to say that Mozart didn't compose wonderfully - i.e. Le Nozze di Figaro is excellent.
@bsartist I've just discovered this wonderful piece also and the beauty of the singing and delivery from Janet Baker is stunning. What an interesting aria it is with such unusual and somewhat repetitive pphrases yet always interesting and hauntingly melodic. I love it. I have to agree that Pergolesi's early death is such a loss to music.
This is so beautiful. Thank you, my love, for making me discover it. Janet Baker is one of the most naturally touching singers, with a very unique timbre.

Too much rubato and poor diction. Other than that, very beautiful.

To be honest her diction is horrible, and the slides are just...sloppy.
Good tone though.

Yes, Jafuet, it certainly ties with the Serenata from the Pulcinella suite (I don't know the opera) by Stravinsky.

Pergolesi had his own distinct sound. Just think of how much beautiful music we could have had from him had he lived another fifty years.

omg u can so tell its pergolesi just by listening its sound a bit like "se tu mami" in a couple spots lol

Exquisite beginning! Though, Pergolesi is now widely known for solely his Stabat Mater, he was an amazing composer of the opera buffa! Amazing.

pergolesi died at 26?? wow....
margotlorena 3 years ago
Wow,1732? I would have definitely guessed later than that from just hearing it (and not being terribly familiar with Pergolesi).
