Strozzi: Lagrime mie - Emanuela Galli

[jemtan990]

Also, that was really well done, and I love the trillos. That's my shit.

[jemtan990]

I'm not sure if someone mentioned this, but did anyone notice that the recording is in a different key than the music?

[steviesteps]

Her ornaments  are fantastic!

[omarcarnaval]

Beautiful solo cantata of the early baroque...

[susannahmcdnld]

Exquisite.

[amatorynumber]

wonderful music. Thanks for posting civileso. Bless you. :-)

[alusrufy]

Wonderful piece and wonderful interpretation. Does anybody know on which story the words are based. is it from the greek mystery? Thank you for an answer.

[DeeLady4Real]

Can you post the Baird version if you have it. I had the norton anthology cd and book for one my baroque class but lost it. Loved this song the first time I heard it, it was the Baird version.

[peteklat]

SO easy to write music in those days. A simple melodic line and the most simple harmonic indications. And the rest is up to the artists!

Broque

stunning 8O

[thebarroque]

Galli is just wonderful a great soprano! I love her two cds dedicated to Strozzi's music :)

[thebarroque]

By the way you have a typo there she's Emanuela with one single "L" :)

Regards.

[civileso]

Yes, I'll remove one of them. Thanks.

[celestialbakura]

Lamenti style.

[Keyra4you]

Great ! Congratulations !

[Paulodafigaro1]

Beatiful. Very delicate and expressive. You mention about the versions of Baird and Rydén and Spägele. I suggest you to see in youtube MARILIA VARGAS.

Paulo Costa.

[civileso]

I'll definitely check it when I find time. I like this work a lot. Thanks for the suggestion.

My tears, what holds you back? Why not give vent to the proud sorrow, Which takes away my breath and oppresses my heart? Lidia, whom I adore so much, Why did you give me a pitying glance, alas, The paternal severity, it has imprisoned me, Shut within two walls remains the beautiful innocent one Where a ray of sunlight may not fall, And that which sorrows me more and increases my evil torment and pain, Has, through my reason, proven my darling to be evil!

[margotlorena]

And you, sorrowful eyes, you do not weep? My tears, what holds you back? Lidia, alas, I see that I am in need My idol, whom I adore so much She who remains withing cruel marble, for whom I breathe And yet I don't die? If deaht would favor me Now that I am without hope God, take away my life (I beg you) my bitter pain. But well I realize, that to torment me all the more, Fate also denies me death If it is then true, Oh God That only of my weeping Wicked destiny is thirsty

[brianusamd]

thanks for this. GREAT!!!!!

[bubblykings]

Oh my gosh! This sounds so much like Dido's Lament for some reason!! lol I love this.

[Avericum]

My God, this is the most heavenly song i ever heard. and her voice, an angel...her ornaments are perfect, the therbo was beautiful, many thanks for posting.

[margotlorena]

Excellent! I don't know why but this reminded me of Kirkby singing Purcell :)

Anyway, loved the beggining, and love the part that starts at 6:12, the instruments are fabulous, and her voice is great, it flows.... 5*

[margotlorena]

sigo volviendo... me encantó, no conocía ni a Strozzi ni a Galli, pero esto es una grata sorpresa. La voz muy bonita, clara, liviana, fluye... me recuerda a kirkby o mc nair, pero con un timbre más grave... el ensamble de guitarras barrocas y tiorbas es espectacular, le da una calidez y profundidad a la obra, a diferencia del sonido más chillón de un clave por ejemplo... la melodía es simplemente exquisita. Mi parte favorita es "se dunque è vero, o Dio" en adelante....

[civileso]

:)

I find myself singing the part that starts at 4:18. The whole thing is gorgeous, tough. I might post one more version of this work if not a few. :) But this one is the one I love the most.

[margotlorena]

ahhhh the Lidia ahime part is lovely as well.....

I also got a version by a Catherine Bott, I can send it to you if you don't have it already, I think it was on Branle...

[civileso]

Yes, I have Bott's album too. I also have 2 others: Susanne Rydén with Ensemble Musica Fiorita and Mona Spägele with Ensemble Incantato

[margotlorena]

I didn't like Bott's voice very much.... but anyway it is always great to be able to compare....

[civileso]

Same here. She can be great but not in this one.

[civileso]

I forgot to mention that I also have a version by Julianne Baird which I may post next.
