lascia ch'io pianga, mia crue da srote. E he sospiri la liberta! oh lord, have pity, let me weep, let me weep my cruel fate, and let me breathe freedom! Let sorrow break these chains, of my sufferings, for pity's sake
Great film Riccardo Broschi is so cool, I wish his works were not lost because he projected the simple brilliance of Baroque perfectly where as Handel (a much more experienced and talented composer) captured human emotion without losing the structure and order of the Baroque style.
There must have been some major voice manipulation during the blending of this version of Venti Turbini because this aria wasn't included on the soundtrack.
@UnoriginalComposer: well Bach caned an unruly kid and called him a nanny goat bassoonist! Under the stress of commission these composers are bound to break sometimes!
This is one of my favourite films ever! I think despite the historical inaccuracies the film largely stays true to the general facts of Farinelli's career. What I love about it is the whole film is just sheer magic from beginning to end, I now live in Turkey overlooking the Aegean. There is nothing quite so cool as playing Alto Giove from the soundtrack as the sun sets over the Greek Islands. Bring back the sun Farinelli!
I watched it and it made me cry, it's a beautiful movie and it shows a taugh reality: art needs sacrifice. Yes, Farinelli was an opera superstar at his time, but deep down in his soul it was a great suffering, being mutilated by castration. It's beautiful and sad, but it's worth watching it !
question... in this movie why is handel freaking out at the end of this clip? I only ever really saw this clip. somewhere in the comments I noticed soemone said "was handel really like that?" my reading indicates that he wasn't. He definitely had a temper and would express it but I dont think he would write notes like that and put his cane on people but then again... I never met him so who knows! the worst thing I read was that he threw a timpani but I tohught it was justified.
@UnoriginalComposer Handel apparently once picked up a soprano who was not taking notice of how he wanted something sung and held her out of a window several floors up until she agreed to take notice of him. Things were different then! However, he and Farinelli never did have this difficulty as far as I am aware, and Farinelli never stole his music.
@flowforms yes!! I read that too!! I am disappointed with how they made Handel look in this movie (from what I've seen) If someone stole his music (which I also have never heard I think its jsut for the sake of the movie) I think he would yell during the performance or something not sneak around in the balcony dropping secret messages.

I think at the end of this clip, Händel is not "freaking out" but suffers a stroke. Farinelli stayed in London from 1734 till 1737. In the clip Händel tells Farinelli to never write another opera again and indicates, that his own opera company is breaking down cause of Farinellis support to the "Opera of the nobility" the rival company to Händel. This indeed happenend in 1737 and in the same year he suffered a serious stroke. I think the movie only tries to evoke an....
@Arsamenes1 unhistorical link between Händels stroke and Farinellis beautifull singing which, earlier in the film, made the ladies allready cry and faint.. By the way, after 1737 Händel wrote another five operas (until 1741) before breaking with this form of music forever and focusing on oratorio.
@bisys2 ofcourse. Back then if you had a excelent voice as a young boy, they would castrate you so your voice would stay the same pitch and not go any lower...
I think he has a nice voice but I know a couter he could fill a big opera house with a big orchestra... his name is Samuel Jaime Santana - some littel videos are here on youtube- and he made a master class with Michael Chance and Mirella Freni is his singing teacher... so he learned her technic.. and she is over 70 and still sings.. !
this is just a movie, not history. Handel and Farinelli did not have this relations hip at all nor did he steal Handel's music...... However at some stage he did stop public performances and went off to live with the King of France who suffered from depression. Farinelli sang for him daily and apparently stopped the depression - became very rich and more famous there, and involved in all sorts of music performances within the palace...
It was to get away from London's intrigues arround Handel and Castratis, that Farinelli gladly accepted the invitation of the Queen of Spain, who's husband suffered from accute depression, unable to attend to the affaires of the Kingdom. Farinelli sang for the King, hiden behind a curtain each nigth at bed time. Eventually the King lived ten more years fullfiling his dutys. This illustrates how Music can cure.
@flowforms Well, actually, Handel had tried to engage Farinelli for the Opera many times. It was around about 1734 or so when Farienlli went to live with the king of SPAIN to cure his depression by singing him the same four arias everynight. I should know...lol. I've done this reasearch everyday for two years now.

@mont955 disculpame no hablo el portugues - pero he entendido lo que ud escribe -
si le gustan las bellas voces - le aconsejo escuchar a el mejor contra tenor frances philippe jaroussky - es extraordinario !!!, especialmente cuando él canta un aria vedro con mio diletto de antonio vivaldi - yo pienso que philippe és el mejor contra tenor actualmente en el mundo - buenas noches - marianne de belgica
Vale. Algunas arias le quedan bien a este contratenor soprano (Philippe Jaroussky), pero en otras no alcanza lo que al menos oigo en interpretaciones como las de esta película. Claro, sé que él como contratenor tiene una voz más limitada en comparación con una soprano real, y qué decir de una mezzosoprano o una contralto reales. Yo por ejemplo le voy más a Andreas Scholl, quien quizá por su voz obscura cante excelente dentro de los espectros vocales de mezzosoprano y contralto.
Vale, pues entonces eres afortunado. Yo pienso que cualquier espectro vocal es un grandísimo don, pues no cualquier persona tiene el privilegio de decir: "soy tenor, mezzosoprano" etc.
No sé qué edad tengas, pero hasta donde me ha dicho un maestro de canto, no siempre se tiene el mismo color de voz cuando ya se canta profesionalmente. Quizá tú seas uno de quienes experimenten cambio de voz. Por ejemplo: la maestra Marilyn Horne inicio como soprano de coloratura y cambió hasta mezzosoprano lírica rossiniana. Fácil compite esta mezzosoprano con la maestra Ewa Podles, quien es contralto pura.

@daydreamer1991white It's baroque music, well, but not in baroque style, that's what I meant. Handel wrote the role of Rinaldo for contralto, these arias here are too high (even for Farinelli, I think, as according to Wikipedia he could reach C6 only vocalising and it nowadays would sound about like a B5, here in the cadenza of 'Lascia ch'io pianga' he has a very long C6...). Plus, modern intonation (A=440 hz) and different setting of the voice (too much vibrato, not clear pronunciation ecc.).
3:08........he shouldnt blame Farinelli if it was Farinellis brother who wrote everything! including the scores he may have stolen! the singer simply sings what is presented to him! he is not the author of vile intrigues!
Not that this matters but this clip has the scene in F major, but on the DVD it's in E major. All in all however, this is such a wonderful movie. For us guys however this scene was awkward pain to watch in an 8 o'clock music history class.
OK guys and girls! Lascia ch'io pianga IS THE ONLY PIECE in the film that is in fact sung by ONE artist alone - Ewa Godlewska. A minimum of on-line research can determine that. Furthermore, if you have a good ear, you hear it. For me, that just adds magic to this perfect piece of music. Cheerio!
@BLOP888 Lascia ch'io pianga? Yes! Venti turbini prestate? No! Search Venti turbini prestate on Youtube or Spotify if you wanna listen to the entire aria.
Très bonne chanson, mais mon bon amie pardon, En quelle anée a chanté Carlo Broschi "Farinelli" L'opéra de RINALDO "LASCIA CH'IO PIANGA"? What year sang Carlo Broschi "Farinelli" the opera from Rinaldo "LASCIA CH'io PIANGA"?
¿En qué año cantó Carlo Broschi "Farinelli" la ópera de Rinaldo LASCIA CH'IO PIANGA"? POR FAVOR ¡¡¡¡QUE ALGUIEN ME DIGA!!!!
Well, you can listen to something from Timur Okutman, he is something like a natural castrato, and that must be very similar... go to his website, and tell me....
@jsmd32 I see what you mean. Since they have mixed the voice here with a female singer in postproduction it sounds more female. I also listened to the female voice used here in her on version of this aria. It sounds almost the same only with out all of the high notes in the end ^^ I guess the only way to know for sure is to castrate some poor young boy, and I don't think that would be very popular :P
@daisyvision Haha, how scary that you say that! I listened too him yesterday here on youtube. I didn't like it that much. It wasn't that overwhelm about his voice, but maybe that had to do, atleast some part of the old recording, so I would prefer a countertenor voice. Philippe Jaroussky is great for example! I look up his range on wikipedia. It said that he could hit B5 but I don't know if thats true. His voice is still good.
@HerrWarja I don't care for him much either.. but I think he was only popular because he was the last one, you know? I bet the real Farinelli was incredible, though =D Something just tells me..
@daisyvision I belive you are right. IF he wouldn't have been a increadible singer there would have been so much written records of him being a good singer ^^
I think that if you hear him you'd be disappointed. In this day and age we have the benefit of the accumulated knowledge of the ages as well as the ability to be instructed by the greatest teachers on the planet. Back in the day you studied with whomever was teaching in your town.
Ricardo Broschi does not have a speaking part in this video. I think you mean Handel. And he says "Farinelli" at the end. Not finally. But good observation though. I like the fact people pay attention.
@pianoman1812 Oh I see, sorry about that. Farinelli/Finally :P Well if its Händel its wierd how a male castrato sings the role of a female character. That aria is supposed to be sung by a female charater. At the premier at 1711 a woman sung the role. :P
LIke I said before...good observation. Riccardo Broschi is in the movie. He is the guy you see in the rafters. I know it is wierd that a male would play Almirena. In that time, the biblical verse "Let Women keep quite in Church" was taken seriously. So It was common for castrati to appear as both the men and women in opera. When Rinaldo was premierd on Feburary 24th, 1711, a woman did play the part. However, this isn't the first performance. I think this may have been around 1737.
@pianoman1812 Well could you explaine why i found a c´lip from this movie where Farinelli was singing Cara sposa. An aria of Rinaldo i belive. Was at all-Farinalli oera night or what? :P
well, I can explain that. Common practice for a baroque opera house that was under staffed would have singers playing multiple roles. Although Farinelli was a great...very great castrato so the compnay may have had him do both just because.
......and Handel used 3 languages in the movie: french, english and - one time - german "wo ist denn meine Partiroure?" when he was searching for the stolen opera. It seemed funny to me when somebody is stressed he speaks in his mother language.
@bestbillm voice for singing Farinelli has added from natural recording of two singer. first was falsetto, second was my compatriot soprano Ewa Małaś-Godlewska. its not computer mixing, but recorded as duet.
Thank you very much for the information. It must have been an amazing experience to be involved in the way you were - and I am very impressed that you learnt the score by heart. Wow! I would have loved to watch Stefano perform (mime) these pieces in the flesh. He always seems so self-contained, so your comments about him seem to fit. Any more interesting anecdotes about Stefano or the experience would be really appreciated. Thank you so much for replying.
We spent around 10 days for the scenes that were set to be in London. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of waiting.
I wear glasses but it was not possible to wear it on the set (due to historical reasons). So I had to learn all the scores by heart because I couldn't read them :-)
I love the way Stefano Dionisi interprets 'Venti Turbini'. The way he looks directly at the camera (at us) as he takes his hands away from his eyes, swings his arms and turns away with a precocious look on his face. At the end of the first phrase Stefano also gives a little smile too and what perfect lips! It's compelling viewing. I wonder if he had a blast doing Farinelli or if he was in a constant state of worry to get it right?? Would love to ask him a million questions about it...
apparently the filmers digitally combined a soprano and a counter tenor to get this voice felt to be the closest to a castrato as possible. Google it and find out the names....
I assume it is the sopranist singing. It doesnt' sound to me like the voice of a real soprano. Now, I believe I read after my last posting that it is Bartoli's voice, but I am not sure.
I checked out your channel. If you are one of the gorgeous ladies singing Franz Biebl Ave Maria in that beautiful cathedral, then I will have to accept your word that it is not Bartoli because you certainly know your voice. Your singing was simply heavenly!
@kkwilson27 Actually THE major problem with the soundtrack is that it DID sound like a female soprano NOT a male or castrato voice. They concentrated on trying to find a countertenor voice and a soprano voice that matched fairly well; however, they did not understand subtleties and nuances of the required sound. Andreas Scholl + Maria Kristina Kiehr (who did sing Baroque together) would have had a far more accurate and successful sound. Listen to their Caldara recordings. Great Handel though.
I was there in Bayreuth on the set fot this scene! I played one of the violinists. It was and is amazing being part of creating this wonderful movie.
But you would not believe how much time you spend waiting fully dressed until "your scene" is shot. But when you see the result, everything is forgotten.
Oh, fantastic!! Can you tell us a little more about what is was like. How Stefano Dionisi handled the challenge in particular. Would love to know loads about it - so fascinating.
For interested viewers, an informed explanation of castrato history and also Farinelli can be found on the website MaleSopranos with the articles "An Amazing Life, Carlo Broshi Farinelli," and "The High Male Voice, An Introduction."
In response to the video description, if you wonder why the people and Farinelli are so sad when when he is singing then you should question your humanity...

Not that this matters but this clip has the scene in F major, but on the DVD it's in E major. All in all however, this is such a wonderful movie. For us guys however this scene was awkward pain to watch in an 8 o'clock music history class.

OK guys and girls! Lascia ch'io pianga IS THE ONLY PIECE in the film that is in fact sung by ONE artist alone - Ewa Godlewska. A minimum of on-line research can determine that. Furthermore, if you have a good ear, you hear it. For me, that just adds magic to this perfect piece of music. Cheerio!

Très bonne chanson, mais mon bon amie pardon, En quelle anée a chanté Carlo Broschi "Farinelli" L'opéra de RINALDO "LASCIA CH'IO PIANGA"? What year sang Carlo Broschi "Farinelli" the opera from Rinaldo "LASCIA CH'io PIANGA"?
¿En qué año cantó Carlo Broschi "Farinelli" la ópera de Rinaldo LASCIA CH'IO PIANGA"? POR FAVOR ¡¡¡¡QUE ALGUIEN ME DIGA!!!!

@janaherde Well no one can really now how they sounded like back then.

Well, you can listen to something from Timur Okutman, he is something like a natural castrato, and that must be very similar... go to his website, and tell me....
jsmd32 1 year ago
@jsmd32 I see what you mean. Since they have mixed the voice here with a female singer in postproduction it sounds more female. I also listened to the female voice used here in her on version of this aria. It sounds almost the same only with out all of the high notes in the end ^^ I guess the only way to know for sure is to castrate some poor young boy, and I don't think that would be very popular :P
HerrWarja 1 year ago
@HerrWarja It's not that far off, Alessandro Moreschi left recordings, and it's quite similar
daisyvision 1 year ago
@daisyvision Haha, how scary that you say that! I listened too him yesterday here on youtube. I didn't like it that much. It wasn't that overwhelm about his voice, but maybe that had to do, atleast some part of the old recording, so I would prefer a countertenor voice. Philippe Jaroussky is great for example! I look up his range on wikipedia. It said that he could hit B5 but I don't know if thats true. His voice is still good.
HerrWarja 1 year ago
@HerrWarja I don't care for him much either.. but I think he was only popular because he was the last one, you know? I bet the real Farinelli was incredible, though =D Something just tells me..
daisyvision 1 year ago
@daisyvision I belive you are right. IF he wouldn't have been a increadible singer there would have been so much written records of him being a good singer ^^

Why does Farinellis brother speak in french and then in the end of the dialoge with Farinelli says the english word "finally"?
HerrWarja 2 years ago
Ricardo Broschi does not have a speaking part in this video. I think you mean Handel. And he says "Farinelli" at the end. Not finally. But good observation though. I like the fact people pay attention.
pianoman1812 2 years ago 3
@pianoman1812 Oh I see, sorry about that. Farinelli/Finally :P Well if its Händel its wierd how a male castrato sings the role of a female character. That aria is supposed to be sung by a female charater. At the premier at 1711 a woman sung the role. :P
HerrWarja 2 years ago
@pianoman1812 I must sat again that I was comfused bacause I think his brother wrote operas and I haven't seen the movie but i will try to do so :P
HerrWarja 2 years ago
LIke I said before...good observation. Riccardo Broschi is in the movie. He is the guy you see in the rafters. I know it is wierd that a male would play Almirena. In that time, the biblical verse "Let Women keep quite in Church" was taken seriously. So It was common for castrati to appear as both the men and women in opera. When Rinaldo was premierd on Feburary 24th, 1711, a woman did play the part. However, this isn't the first performance. I think this may have been around 1737.
pianoman1812 2 years ago 2
Oh...and Riccardo Broschi did write operas....he was a very good composer in my opionion.
pianoman1812 2 years ago 2
@pianoman1812 Well could you explaine why i found a c´lip from this movie where Farinelli was singing Cara sposa. An aria of Rinaldo i belive. Was at all-Farinalli oera night or what? :P
HerrWarja 2 years ago
well, I can explain that. Common practice for a baroque opera house that was under staffed would have singers playing multiple roles. Although Farinelli was a great...very great castrato so the compnay may have had him do both just because.
pianoman1812 1 year ago
@HerrWarja
......and Handel used 3 languages in the movie: french, english and - one time - german "wo ist denn meine Partiroure?" when he was searching for the stolen opera. It seemed funny to me when somebody is stressed he speaks in his mother language.

Thank you very much for the information. It must have been an amazing experience to be involved in the way you were - and I am very impressed that you learnt the score by heart. Wow! I would have loved to watch Stefano perform (mime) these pieces in the flesh. He always seems so self-contained, so your comments about him seem to fit. Any more interesting anecdotes about Stefano or the experience would be really appreciated. Thank you so much for replying.

(Continued)
We spent around 10 days for the scenes that were set to be in London. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of waiting.
I wear glasses but it was not possible to wear it on the set (due to historical reasons). So I had to learn all the scores by heart because I couldn't read them :-)
marpicentertainment 2 years ago
To welshbigbird1:
Stefano was always relaxed at the set, but very focused.
The whole thing was very exciting. It was filmed in the "Markgräfliche Opernhaus" in Bayreuth, a small town in Northern Bavaria.
All the extras (e.g. the audience and orchestra) were hired there, including me.
marpicentertainment 2 years ago
That last comment was to the man who commented that he was one of the violinists on the set when they filmed Venti Turbini etc
welshbigbird1 2 years ago
I love the way Stefano Dionisi interprets 'Venti Turbini'. The way he looks directly at the camera (at us) as he takes his hands away from his eyes, swings his arms and turns away with a precocious look on his face. At the end of the first phrase Stefano also gives a little smile too and what perfect lips! It's compelling viewing. I wonder if he had a blast doing Farinelli or if he was in a constant state of worry to get it right?? Would love to ask him a million questions about it...
welshbigbird1 2 years ago
apparently the filmers digitally combined a soprano and a counter tenor to get this voice felt to be the closest to a castrato as possible. Google it and find out the names....
flowforms 2 years ago
They combined the voices of the soprano Ewa Małas-Godlewska and the countertenor Derek Lee Ragin to re-create this voice, both of them great singers!

Who is singing?
CocoChaia 2 years ago
I assume it is the sopranist singing. It doesnt' sound to me like the voice of a real soprano. Now, I believe I read after my last posting that it is Bartoli's voice, but I am not sure.

bartoli's? eh... I don't think so... I don't know WHOSE voice it is... but i don't think it's lady Cecilia's

I checked out your channel. If you are one of the gorgeous ladies singing Franz Biebl Ave Maria in that beautiful cathedral, then I will have to accept your word that it is not Bartoli because you certainly know your voice. Your singing was simply heavenly!

kkwilson27 2 years ago
@kkwilson27 Actually THE major problem with the soundtrack is that it DID sound like a female soprano NOT a male or castrato voice. They concentrated on trying to find a countertenor voice and a soprano voice that matched fairly well; however, they did not understand subtleties and nuances of the required sound. Andreas Scholl + Maria Kristina Kiehr (who did sing Baroque together) would have had a far more accurate and successful sound. Listen to their Caldara recordings. Great Handel though.

EduardoBrasil10000, deixa de ser ignorante. Esse vídeo é sobre um castrato, pessoa que quando criança foi castrada e, por isso, tem a voz fina.
Se não me engano o Farinelli nem era homossexual. Aproveite a música e pare de ficar proferindo comentários preconceituosos.

I was there in Bayreuth on the set fot this scene! I played one of the violinists. It was and is amazing being part of creating this wonderful movie.
But you would not believe how much time you spend waiting fully dressed until "your scene" is shot. But when you see the result, everything is forgotten.

Oh, fantastic!! Can you tell us a little more about what is was like. How Stefano Dionisi handled the challenge in particular. Would love to know loads about it - so fascinating.
