Bajazet:Dov'e la figlia?

[thijssino123]

Can anybody point me in the direction of the score of this aria? I've searched everywhere; internet, public libraries, library of the conservatory, librarby of the Dutch Opera (De Nederlandse Opera)... Thanks in advance !!

[Nidoamor]

Che bella bocca !

[Nattyduck]

I like the movement he makes at 1: 12 :) .. goes well with that noise

[musicvader1]

tremendo barítono, excelente interpretación...

[taf289]

@musicvader1 Che significa?taf289

[wanchaan]

bravo et merci

[grgaperos]

ive got a piano reduction for this aria. if someone needs it, contact me...

[killerbunny123123]

wow! At 1:07 was that an A4?? How can that be? I thought the chest voice of basses only goes from E2 to E4!

[pechorin1841]

@killerbunny123123 he can do that because he is mixing his voice. He is not carrying his chest voice all the way up there. that would damage his voice. Don't get too caught up in pigeon holing people. the least important thing in determining what voice type you are is your range. It's the timbre and color of your voice that determines that. I have heard basso profundos sing A flat 4 (jerome hines) and high bartiones sing low D2 (thomas Hampson)

[rodyspace]

bravo Ildebrando!! = )

[omoshiroii]

He changed his outfit 4 times while singing? :P

[enzerinckful]

@omoshiroii very sharp

[killerbunny123123]

@omoshiroii talented isnt he xD ?

[SerPetKo]

Прекрасный певец!!! Потрясающая техника, энергетика.

[tenorjamestaylor]

Boring. This is like a repeating record.  He brings nothing to the table. Sounds like so many other baritones. Nothing sets him apart. No heart. No passion.

Likes the sound of his own voice, tho...

[bedarbisas]

ignas.super.bello voce,moltoesspresivo.

[bedarbisas]

super.bello voce,molto esspresivo.

[mariliamesmo]

Que homem!

[ColdTearSP]

remark that his clothe is different everytime.

[HellasItalia4]

è un basso-baritono che sa cantare.Sia ruoli di basso che alcuni di baritono.Non di quelli B-B che non cantano bene niente. BRAVO!

PS. Grande anche la scuola di Paride Venturi,suo maestro

[sgurugnao]

Brividi lungo la schiena!!!

[temporaldeideias]

voice? actually there are many baritonos great voices... the diference is that D'Arcangelo is a handsome baritono... please, if you are gay: marry me!

[lape]

@temporaldeideias well he is gay so:p

[Iaparulava]

Hey girls out there keep commenting about his great looks , after all he is the most Handsome opera singer in the world today , I understand why everybody wants a piece of him.

Thanks god that he is showering us with his divine voice. You are the best my friend...God bless you!

[luvxl]

Marry me?

[lorenzoarcaro]

man , you are AMAZING !!!!

[msumuel]

High A-wow!!!!!!!

[herzogc88]

I know!!!! crazy... i love his face after he hits it too haha

[TJWTNR]

Haha, I know....and I LOVE his reaction to it at 1:11 when he nails it. I crack up every time I see this. Sexy, sexy!

[facejointdotcom]

ok , this guy sings good, but... girls..., stop commenting like if tis is a porn movie!, let's focus on the sound of music. =) good vibes

[CSVernon]

Nice!

[EmilyGreene1984]

I just love his performance in this.

[ishhf]

bellisima aria del rol de Moctezuma, del tercer acto de la opera Moctezuma de Vivaldi...

Dov'è la figlia? Dov'è il mio trono?

Non son più padre, più re non sono.

La sorte barbara no ha più affanno,

non ha più fulmine il Ciel tiranno,

ch'esser terribile possa per me.

Vede l'istesso nemico fato,

che non più farmi può sventurato,

che, se m'uccide, crudel non è.

[ishhf]

letra en ESPAÑOL

¿Dónde está mi hija? ¿Dónde está mi trono?

Ya no soy padre, ya no soy rey.

El brutal destino no tiene más tormentos,

el cielo tirano no tiene más truenos

que me hagan temer.

El destino enemigo sabe bien que

no me puede hacer más daño y,

si me quita la vida, no sería tan cruel.

[tochidule]

pero esta aria pertenece al Bajazet... que Vivaldi retomo del Tamerlano de Handel... También se auto plagió para Moctezuma? No tenía idea... Saludos!!!

[alexandrevlad37]

Sei Grande Ildebrando.

[SantoriniEpona]

Truly orgasmic!  :)

[9sibra]

gigantic! 8@

strong bassobaritone reaching tenore range!

[liricobarroco]

a wondeful singer!! yeah one of the best!:D

[kessukesekene]

It does not matter, because his music is so great and speaks another language. A fact that he is italian plays no role in this...

A geat artist and a perfect singer!

My devoted love and admiration belongs to him and mostly this is because he is such a magnificent artist!

[Julivasia]

I agree with each your word. My last message was adress to Katherina XIX. Where are respect and love of fans, when they smudge in dirt genius artist! Actualy it is disgusting! But each thinks to measure of its rottenness...

[KatherineXIX]

And P.S.: If you think saying somebody *might* be gay is "smudging in dirt genius artist" and that it is "disgusting," and that the *opposite* of being gay is being a "NORMAL (NATURAL) MAN," you probably have some issues of your own.

[Julivasia]

My english ih very bed if you understand wrong ))) I just wanted to say you shouldn`t search in people depravity. If a men is talanted (genius) people try attribute him some lowest features for equate with its in anything.

[sofiadelgreco]

.....and I love his and all the other performances on this cd/dvd.

[kessukesekene]

does anyone know if he's married or not?

[Julivasia]

penso che "maggeo78" (Diana Damrau) conoshe ))) chiedi a lei...si puo` dirtelo))) Anche "Davidusjazzy" ha detto l`anno fa che Ildebrando aveva girlfriend...

[Julivasia]

in ogni caso questo l`informazione cambia niente per te. Bisigna essere una musicista o cantanta famosa o avere una posizione nel suo circolo per interessarLo...

[KatherineXIX]

So what? I met him! And I actually think he might be gay...but no matter. I'm still in love!

[kessukesekene]

Why do you think that he might be gay? Not that it matters, because he is such a good singer and musician, but just out of interest... why do you think that?

[KatherineXIX]

I met him, and I don't know...I just got those kinds of vibes. Trust me, it would break my heart, but that's just what I think!

[kessukesekene]

Some time ago there were this person on this site who knew him and his girlfriend... Was that just a cover up or was this person not telling the truth

[Julivasia]

Do you mean Davidusjazzy? I think he told truth, and maybe he was registraited here just for to wright about this. Don`t listen KatherineXIX, americans are crazy for gays! Ildebrando is ITALIAN man (if you met italian, you know must of them are natural and love women!

[KatherineXIX]

Jesus, it doesn't matter if he is or isn't! I was just stating what I thought. I love gay guys as much as, if not more than, straight men. I was just supplying my opinion to answer the question of whether or not he is married. I was not trying to start any ugly rumors. In fact, I am quite possibly his biggest living fan. What matters is that he is a very private person, and this way the world can focus a lot more on his music and not his personal life.

[AMTL09]

I know from the most reliable source the the rumors about him being gay are NOT true!!!

[KatherineXIX]

Cool. Fine. We can all breathe easy again and not lose any more sleep over this issue that impacts my opinion on his musicianship EVER so much...:P

[Julivasia]

i miei complimenti!!! anche senza un riferimento alla fonte che si è riuscito a convincere KatherineXIX ?!))) lei vorrebbe che lui era gay, ma non e` stato sposato ))))

[LaMezzosoprano]

How do you know that he is not married? Do you know him?

[Julivasia]

I`m SURE only THAT HE IS NOT GAY! ))) is he married now or not it `s not interesting for me ...

[EmilyGreene1984]

Well, I'm glad he doesn't do that corruptive practice.

[tochidule]

If he is gay, i am free, jejejejeje lol, very handsome!!!

[Julivasia]

Carrissimo amico (o amica) informato! irispondi infine a tutte queste povere ragazze, che desideravano di sposarlo, se hanno la possibilità? :)))

[luigipavabartolotti]

è fantastico un basso baritono che arriva a un la

[amdnovello]

che bel timbro che ha!

non ne avevo mai sentito parlare purtroppo se avessero scritto + pezzi per non tenori

vanno di moda solo loro per gli acuti

ma le note basse fanno comunque tremare le budella

[luigipavabartolotti]

sinceramente è strano che un basso arrivi ad un la naturale.

[amdnovello]

basso? pensavo baritono

ho sentito bassi andare + giù se devo dire la verità

[luigipavabartolotti]

è un basso baritono,si sente dal timbro molto bruno che è un basso,comunque riesce ad arrivare ad un la naturale

[amdnovello]

si è molto bravo

[Julivasia]

How much time you communicate with him to form such opinion? Maybe you didn`t interrest him? but it is not means that hi is gay! Obviously he is a NORMAL (NATURAL) man. If you have another opinion it is problems of your mind...

[radubradu]

WHAT a man

[EmilyGreene1984]

Wow, he really has a beautiful bass-baritone voice! And he IS cute. :D

[arteimagen1981]

WOW...

hot...

[jony5557]

Impresionante la capacidad vocal del maestro D'arcangelo. Éste es un barítono de verdad!

[libexal]

Bravo! Quelle superbe voix!

[iwantmore81]

He's magnificent in every way

great stuff

[kreidesm]

Does anyone know the range of this aria, or what his high note is? Is it original or interpolated?

[arisargiris]

I think is an A flat or an A natural.

and i think is original...

[KatherineXIX]

It's an A natural, and the most beautiful one ever sung at that! I only wish I could have heard it live :D

[blichilde]

bravo Ildebrando (and handsome,too)

[cantanteporsiempre]

jammy!!!!

[arisargiris]

Please youtube is not for showing how much we know about singing!! Ildebrando is a beautiful singer and for sure a basso cantante!!! Great line, legato, he is not forcing while he is singing and a nice personality! That he can do also other rep than the usual is a plus for his vocal abilities! And believe me i know what i am telling you because i am an active singer and i heard also ALL the "old school" recordings and videos!!! Bravo Ilderbrando!!

[wowyourgaiy]

I have nothing against what you said except this: "Please youtube is not for showing how much we know about singing!! -- and believe me I know what I am telling you because I am and active singer."

So, wait... what does that make you? A show off?

[arisargiris]

No, thats gives me the right to speak about things that i experienced and other people not. Nothing more...

Believe me before i was also the hard criticizer until the moment when i felt the same difficulties and had the same problems like other singers.only then you begin to respect some things.

but anyway thank you for been unfriendly!

[KatherineXIX]

"Great line, legato, he is not forcing while he is singing and a nice personality!"

Completely agree with all of the above. His legato and line are even more breathtaking in person - I practically swooned hearing his hummed arpeggios in Leporello's catalogue aria and later the legato notes in "Ah taci inguisto core." And he IS very nice - just a little shyer than I imagined...haha.

[mikitavi]

I love his reaction when he hits the high note. Freakin' adorable!!!

[KatherineXIX]

ME TOO! If I didn't know he was Italian, I'd think he was saying "fuck yeah!"

[michelepattone]

cioe'...ma ti riferisci a me??guarda che nn volevo offendere nessuno!! era solo un parere!per me e' un baritono...nn avra' la fama di Milnes, Bruson,Hvorostovsky,Cappuccill­i...ma sto qui mi sembra uno con e palle!!ha sicuramente un timbro molto scuro...ma visto il suo reportorio e come sa gestirlo,,,per me e' un baritono!prova ad ascoltare "votre toast"..scusa ancora se in qualche modo ti ho offeso..

[michelepattone]

proprio basso non e'....un la cosi' non e' da tutti!

[ludwigna78]

Grande cantante, ma per nulla adatto alla vocalità vivaldiana:ascoltare per credere...

[farinelli84]

Forse troppo "lirico" per la musicalità vivaldiana,ma credo che nessuno meglio di lui avrebbe potuto incidere quest'opera...voce meravigliosa,pastosa,calda..ch­iarissimo fraseggio,padronanza del legato,timbro brunito ed un colore vellutato...un VERO Baritono...lo apprezzo molto...

[ludwigna78]

Che D'Arcangelo sia un ottimo basso (più che baritono...)è innegabile.l'ho più volte ascoltato dal vivo e posso confermare che è un fuoriclasse. La mia critica era rivolta all'interpretazione di questa aria, che non trovo all'altezza delle sue meravigliose interpretazioni mozartiane.

[farinelli84]

UN BASSO???ah va be abbiamo capito...sei proprio zero a registri vocali...D'Arcangelo è un baritono PURO che ha ovviamente anche un registro grave meraviglioso...ma un La naturale così non è certo da basso...ti consiglio un buon libro sulla suddivisione dei registri vocali...magari ti aiuta...

[ludwigna78]

...le tue offese le giustifico soltanto per la giovane età...ti consiglio comunque di essere un po' più educato nelle tue risposte... il "la" di cui parli è orribile:tiratissimo, stimbrato! Ricorda non è un acuto che che fa diventare un basso (quello che è D'Arcangelo) in un baritono PURO... Ma hai mai sentito i veri baritoni? Ti consiglio di ascoltare tanta altra musica, di leggere qualche buon libro e, soprattutto, di essere meno presuntuoso...poi capirai quali sono gli acuti belli.

[farinelli84]

io i veri baritoni li ho sentiti e conosciuti anche...sicuramente un acuto non fa diventare un basso un baritono,ma ribadisco,il La che senti è perfetto,però se le tue orecchie sentono imperfezioni note che invece sono stupende...non so cosa dirti,se non di fare un piccolo controllino all'udito =)

[ludwigna78]

...ora capisco che anche l'educazione non è il tuo forte..

[farinelli84]

non mi sembra di aver mancato di educazione,però,se prendi un dibattito sul personale in questa maniera,il controllino oltre all'udito fallo anche in generale...cordialmente

[maggeo78]

Si l'educazione non è il suo forte, ma ti è andata bene....

Prova a toccargli la rancatore e comincia a darti della checca XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Comunque perfettamente d'accordo! Anche a me Ildebrando sembra proprio un basso... Almeno, a casa mia i baritoni hanno un registro vocale completamente diverso!!!!!!!!!!!

[Julivasia]

Che cosa implica dicendo: " l'educazione non è il suo forte"?

[maggeo78]

Mi riferivo alla querelle con farinelli 84....

Quelllo che dice che d'Arcengelo è un baritono.

Sono stato insultato anche io da lui in passato... E condivido l'opinione di chi lo ritiene maleducato abbastanza incompetente in musica!!!

[Julivasia]

Grazie per spiegazione! ma allora si potrebbe pensare che Ildebrando si è trattato XDDDDDD

[Julivasia]

la scelta del nik "farinelli" non è casuale....È interessante, Freud, potrei dire su questo? )))

[lastofdmelocchians]

I saw this guy in a Don Giovanni as Leporello w/Alvarez as Giovanni & I always thought that he's gonna be huge 1 day! I thought he was a bit better than Alvarez! Well, it seems that his day has finally arrived:) I'm proud of him! I hear Pinza in him! I've never listened to a singer & thought that! Pinza was a 1 in a million! BRAVO!!!

[ciryaco81]

ma di quanti spezzoni è composto questo video??? cambia 4 volte d'abito...hihihi cmq...moooooolto bravo.

[maog24]

Ohh Idelbrando ;)

[Bambam78]

Completely fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EriolAB]

Me too!!! And i love the high A too... Great performance

[KatherineXIX]

Haha, and I love that face he makes after he hits the high A...

[Musicabarocco]

Bravo grazie!

[KatherineXIX]

Love Ildebrando, love Vivaldi. Basically the perfect clip for me. And I had no idea he had those high notes!

[farinelli84]

great singer

[lucluc1000]

Absolutly Great!!!

[Viahandel06]

This just shows how Vivaldi is the king of Baroque expressionism in his music.

[GermanAdmiral]

What about J.S. Bach?

[Viahandel06]

J.S. Bach is marvelous, but don't forget he got inspired by the Italian masters (like Vivaldi for example) for his own music.

[lyricalmage]

Totally right! In addition of that, Bach composed his Branderburg concerts inspirated on vivaldi's music.

[Viahandel06]

That and most of Bach's concertos for violin and harpsichord were transcribed from Vivaldi's most influential work, L'estro Armonico:)

[mikitavi]

"Most of Bach's concertos for violin and harpsichord were transcribed from Vivaldi"? No no no. Bach transcribed ten works from the L'Estro Armonico. Almost all of those ten were for organ solo and for harpsichord solo. L'Estro Armonico Concerto no. 10 for 4 violins in B minor is one that Bach transcribed as a concerto for 4 harpsichords in A minor, and that is about the only one you can say is for violin and harpsichord. As for Bach's violin concertos, they were not from the L'Estro Armonico.

[mikitavi]

If by inspired you mean Bach took some of Vivaldi's works and arranged them, either all or parts to become The Brandenburg Concertos then you're dead wrong. Most certainly Bach loved and studied Vivaldi's (as well as other Italian composers) music and the only insparation he got for the Brandenburgs from them was the Concerto Grosso format, the fast, slow, fast style and the Fortspinnung type that was typical of Vivaldi's music. But The Brandenburgs are in no way a take on Vivaldi's music.

[lyricalmage]

i did never mean that. Bach is very original, but indeed he was inspirated by vivaldi in the Brandenburgs concerts. Sorry if my comment offend you but that the fast and furious music is typical of vivaldi it is no reason to think it is the unique style he has. Neither i said that vivaldi was his most influential composer because that is Händel, because you can notice some french orchestation on Bach's music took from Händel that He took from Purcell and that purcell took from Lully.

[mikitavi]

O.K. now. I was NOT offended, I love Vivaldi(Though I don't deny that Bach is the greatest ever!). But please tell me exactly how you think that the Brandenburgs were inspired by Vivaldi. Do they (or one particular concerto) sound like Vivaldi's music, or are we talking style? You say, "The fast and furious music is typical of vivaldi it is no reason to think it is the unique style he has" - I don't, because other composers were playing just like that WAY before Vivaldi!! to be continued...

[mikitavi]

continued.... Now, I actually do believe that Vivaldi WAS Bach's most influential composer (not Handel) seeing as though Bach transcribed more music of his that of any other person. But you say Bach took his French style from Handel? In his youth Bach heard some musicians of the Duke of Celle, most of whom were Frenchmen (and he loved them), also he studied ACTUALL French composers since the French overture was ultra popular in Germany at the time. Bach did want to meet Handel, though.

[fox9ninja]

whoa...

my last name is D'Arcangelo....

O.o

[jasminemortazavi]

[motete001]

Can You Tell Where I Can Buy It

[clashguy]

i Love it,i love him!

[motete001]

Some One Have The Score Of This Song I Really Need Please.....

[ilduce565]

you can buy it online....

[errpinin]

I love it

[Marlifan69]

The english translation goes:

Where is my daughter? Where is my throne?

I am no longer a father, no longer a king.

Brutal fate holdes no more torments,

tyrannous havens holds no more thunderbolts

for me to fear.

Even inimical fate sees

that it cannot render more miserable,

and if it kills me, it's not cruel.

[liyzette]

Thanks a bunch for the lyrics and translation. :)

[Mark91Gilenson]

thanks a bunch.

Do you perhaps have the translation for "svena, uccidi, abatti, atterra"?

[Marlifan69]

This aria was taken from Vivaldi opera "Motezuma". The lyrics are: Dovè la figlia?/Dovè il mio trono?/Non son più padre, più re non sono/La sorte barbara non ha più affanno/non ha più fuime Ciel tiranno/ch'esser terribile possa per me/Vede l'istesso nemico fato/ che non più farmi può sventurato/che, se m'uccide, crudel non è.

[DannyDaWriter]

Actually, this aria is from Bajazet. Vivaldi wrote an earlier version of this aria for Motezuma, but it's a bit different.

[Marlifan69]

Danny, Bajazet was first presented at Verona in 1735, as Motezuma had its premiere at Venice, on Teatro Sant'Angelo, on 14 november 1733.

[DannyDaWriter]

I know. The Motezuma version is earlier - the two are just different slightly.

[altiburcio]

you're right, the montezuma aria was for a cstrato, right?

[DannyDaWriter]

Which one? Dov'e la figlia?

If it was, that would be rather interesting. Mr Jaroussky, we may need your presence here.

[singinginachurch]

Agreed!

[datzi4ka]

fantastic!!!!

[HARMONICO101]

That's Fabio Biondi on lead violoin right?

[Bachsoboe]

Yep.

[lyricalmage]

oh my god is an amazing aria! Bajazet is the best opera i have hear! and the one i have liked at all, even tough the most arias are from other operas

[RoxLyrica]

Grande ildebrando!!!

BELLISSIMO E BRAVISSIMO!!!

Il più grande basso dei nostri tempi nonchè il miglior Leporello

[HARMONICO101]

Anyone know the words/translation?

[xafnndapp]

Fantastic singer. Great actor. Handsome.

What can be asked more??

[eolynx]

papasito el que pida mas que le piquen cagna!!!!!

[aryssa1974]

Vero, una voce splendida, come poche sentite sino ad ora..

Orgogliosa di averlo conosciuto e essere sua concittadina.

[maggeo78]

Se non sono indiscreto di dov'è???

Secondo me lazio, a vederlo così....

[lamantinosport]

GRANDISSIMO ILDEBRANDO!!! classe superiore, il riferimento nel mondo dei Bassi!

[escaelis]

am i the only one who notices that D'Arcangelo's shirt changes about 4 times?

[DannyDaWriter]

I noticed that as well. Looks like this is a mix of studio footage. A pasticcio, as one might say... :)

(Get it? Bajazet was a pasticcio. I'm funny, hahahaha... *gets punched in the face several times*)

[lyricalmage]

no, i noticed that too

[maog24]

MAGNIFICO....

[InformedListener]

GO ON, BRANDO!!! Where is this man's opera aria disc? Is there one?  The listening public needs it!!!

[fer1179]

He's hot! of course, as well as talented.

[firebreathone]

Can anyone tell me why the violinists do not use shoulderrests? I understand wanting to be authentic and wanting to play the violin the way it was played in the past, but does it actually serve a purpose?

[DannyDaWriter]

It could be due to personal choice. Also, if you're going to playing more on the tailpiece like many of the violinists due, then it's recommended you disdain from shoulder rests.

[DannyDaWriter]

Best? Best. Best!!!

The Europa Galante recording of Bajazet = best!!!

[musique55]

wow most of the violinists are not using shoulder rests! LOL

[HaMoOhAhA]

well they are a period ensemble.

[DannyDaWriter]

Yup. I play in HIP (historically-informed performance) myself, akin to Europa Galante - including the quite extreme style of performance. =D

[mgollow]

i would like a copy of that vocal and piano score that you did ardjoena :)

[ardjoena]

I've spend my weekend listening to the recording and managed to turn it into performable piece with voice and piano.

[DannyDaWriter]

I'd like to see it. :D

[margotlorena]

where is my daughter? where is my throne?

I am a father no more, no more a king.

cruel fate, has no more sorrow,

the tyrannous sky no longer has bolts of lightning

that could strike terror into me.

Inimical fate can see it for itself

that it can make me no more griefstricken,

for if it kill me, it is not cruel but kind.

[margotlorena]

I am so happy... I bought this CD today!
