Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice "Che Faro Senza Euridice?" M. Horne

Orfeo has been allowed to bring back his wife from Hades as long as he does not look upon her face until they are back on earth. However, urged by Euridice, he turns around and looks at her and she immediately dies. Grief-stricken, he wonders what he will ever do without his love.

Che farò senza Euridice?
Dove andrò senza il mio ben?
Euridice, o Dio, rispondi!
Io son pure il tuo fedele.

Euridice! Ah, non m´avanza
più soccorso, più speranza
ne dal mondo, ne dal ciel.

Translation

What will I do without Euridice?
Where will I go without my beloved?
Euridice, oh God, answer me!
Yet I still belong to you faithfully.

Euridice! Ah, no help comes to me anymore,
No hope anymore,
Neither from this world, nor from heaven.

Horne pronounces "ben" just as it should be pronounced, with an open italian è (similar sound as in "red" in English). If I try and sing a narrow é there... it just sounds freaking horrible. It is true that in spoken Italian language, vowels can be open or narrow depending on the native region of the speaker, but if even pop singers do conform to a "standard" pronounciation, you may rest assured that no opera singer would want to be laughed at for singing in a regional accent.

this is wonderful, possibly the best I've heard from La Horne. I'll have to get the proper recording.
