Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714-1787)

La clemenza di Tito (1752)
Dramma per musica in 3 acts

Libretto: Pietro Metastasio

Annio's aria (Act II)

Ma, Sesto, al punto estremo
ridotto io sono. Tu non ignori
quel che mi dice ognun, quel ch'io non dico.
Questo è troppo soffrir. Pensaci, amico.

Ch'io parto reo, lo vedi;
ch'io son fedel, lo sai:
di te non mi scordai;
non ti scordar di me.

Soffro le mie catene;
ma questa macchia in fronte,
ma l'odio del mio bene
soffribile non è.

The orginal libretto includes a subplot where Annio is briefly under suspicion for the assassination attempt.

This is an nice aria but nothing really sticks out - one might say that it's conservative. I wonder if Gluck did it on purpose to increase the shock of the audience when in a few minutes time it's Sesto's turn to be taken away and sing his main aria...

Conductor: Louis Langrée
Live recording (1996)
