no just jocking:)

[tattisalles1989]

Como não gostar disso ??????

[rockandrollarcangel]

chi sono i due imbecilli che hanno messo "non mi piace"????? a morte!

[bummelstudent]

one painting:

JW Waterhouse, Hylas and the Nymphs (1896 - Pre-Raphaelite)

[vernonr100]

Very nicely done. I was happy to hear the bass voice. It was strong and very clear.

Wonderful performance. Bravo!

[tutubi49]

please, whose is the painting @ 5:42 with the two girls playing?

[elend56]

Waterhouse's paintings blend in with the music perfectly! Delightful!

[EduardoBrasil10000]

The images are splendid!

[teb1138]

what is the name of the painting at 2:14?

[m00nEater]

@teb1138 The painting at 2:14 is called "Hylas and the Nymphs" by Waterhouse,

There are also some images by bouguereau throughout this vid

[kristoppo]

OMG :)

[Debebant]

La version avec Natalie Dessay est bien meilleure...

[voxhunden]

I like the Jordi Savall recording most. It breaks my heart. Good thing there are so many different versions to choose from!

[ysigoaprendiendo]

Human voices taken to it's maximum expression

[kjian1980]

commovente.

[stefanka1989]

amazing

[sfkcbf]

Bravo! Marvelous voices!

[fairyboy3]

I went to " Museo de bellas artes de caracas"And here in my country we have one of that pictures the name is " nocturnal company" is the man wwho plays viola with a woman and two men i thougth on this video and i was so exited.

[khpa3665]

This is a fantastic version. But where can I get the recording? I can't seem to find it listed on Amazon etc.

[guimaul69]

i think ou can find it under "ensemble tragicomedia" conducted by stephen stubbs...

[Glorthac]

I found it! Praise our Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ.

[capmo]

Dopo sentir quel lamento,

già posso morir contento!

Pieno di gioia è'l mio cuor,

tanta beltà nel suo dolor!

[outsider950]

@capmo voluptas dolendi? :D

[capmo]

@outsider950 non, voluptas cantandi! :p

[daniel0azar]

This interpretation is heartbreakingly beautiful!!!

Besides Viveca Axcell sings it with a correct Baroque technique... I am pleased!

[Thrax1982]

This is the best one. This piece either makes one cry (with a good interpretation) or is just mildly annoying (with a bad interpretation).

[MartirioEterno]

can anyone translate the lyrics into modern italian, english, spanish, french, german?

[giusquiamo]

I can translate in modern italian:

Ancora [il dio] Febo (il sole) non aveva dato al mondo la luce del giorno, quando una giovane usci' dal proprio albergo.

Sul pallido volto si scorgeva il suo dolore, spesso le usciva dal cuore un sospiro.

Cosi', calpestando i fiori, vagava qua' e la', va piangendo cosi' i suoi perduti amori:

"Amor"

diceva, guardando il cielo si fermo'

"Dov'e' quella fede che il traditore giuro'?"

Poverina, ah piu' no, no, tanto gelo soffrire non puo'

[giusquiamo]

"Fai che ritorni il mio amore come fu' un tempo, oppure uccidimi, cosicche' io non mi tormenti piu'

Non voglio piu' che egli sospiri, se non [quando e'] lontano da me

no, no, che non mi dara' piu' dolore.

Perche' soffro cosi' a causa sua?

Egli e' cosi' orgoglioso, che se lo rifuggo tornera' da me a pregarmi.

Ha gli occhi piu' sereni, lei, rispetto ai miei, ma non ha in seno una fede altrettanto bella

[giusquiamo]

Ne' mai avrai dalla sua bocca baci cosi' dolci [come i miei], o piu' soavi, a taci, taci, che lo sai bene"

cosi', tra pianti pieni di sdegno, spargeva la sua voce al cielo;

Cosi' Amore mescola nei cuori degli amanti amore, fiamma e gelo.

[MartirioEterno]

oh cool, I thank you a lot!

[Vegaelux]

I can't stop listening to it

[Gealach74]

really beautiful! apart from the Monteverdi´s excellent piece of music; the images are very nice as well!!! well done!

[cielodottobre]

meraviglioso....

[IceMasterEasthamJazz]

Harry van der Kamp is incredible.

[guimaul69]

indeed!!

[guimaul69]

indeed!

[rubensenderle]

the best version!! perfect!!

[pianorules]

"Non vo' più ch'ei sospiri

se non lontan da me;

no, no che i suoi martiri

più non darammi affè."

"No quiero que los suspiros

se me escapen ya más;

No, no quiero que los tormentos

delaten mi amor."

[PadreAcaJoca]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Antonove2]

amor

per l'infinito amor,che corre e mi stancal core,e m'ancide d'amor

amor

l'amor che mi tradia quando nn era amor

amor che malconcio mi desta e mi trascina sotto al piede suo

amor che sempre amerò

amor che se cantate per sempre v'odero,se m'ancidete per sempre moriro se mi strappate l cor per sempre v'amerò  Antonino Viola da Mussomeli

[Glorthac]

Why doesnt man appreciate these wonders anymore? Maybe its the degenerate state that man has further lapsed into that destroys not only his moral being, but also their sense of a divine hand in this masterpiece.

[IceMasterEasthamJazz]

It's like General George Patton said. "The world grew up." People no longer delight in works of art, generally only in things that they can make money with or control others with.

[RebirthX]

It is a masterpiece indeed, the way he used basso ostinato, the dissonance, the way he made the men voices murmur in the background while soprano outpour her anguish... Yes.

But not everyone knows about such things...

[rosenberyou]

how sad... those who never loved can't understand this...

[fairyboy3]

to me this is the power of the barroco style. noone as monteverdi catch the atmosphere of caravaggio. the tenebrism the lisgth and darkness but not that darkness who is part of the badness. a darknes who just love and suport be at the back of the ligth.

[fairyboy3]

gracias gracias gracias.

[SpewToob]

Ma, che significa "ancidi"?

[militarCC]

ancidere all'infinito

uccidere

perchè, mi domando, non parliamo ancora così?

[muia81]

Perchè abbiamo perso il gusto, la ricerca ed il senso del bello persino nel parlare.

[Pianoloverok]

Wonderful!!!!!!!

[mabileal]

Se siente místico.. como cristal. Muy lindo.

[DouglasAxcell]

Wonderful -Viveca my relative?
