Estuans Interius w/ lyrics - Carmina Burana

Killer piece of music. \m/

Estuans interius

Estuans interius
ira vehementi
in amaritudine
loquor mee menti:
factus de materia,
cinis elementi
similis sum folio,
de quo ludunt venti.

Cum sit enim proprium
viro sapienti
supra petram ponere
sedem fundamenti,
stultus ego comparor
fluvio labenti,
sub eodem tramite
nunquam permanenti.

Feror ego veluti
sine nauta navis,
ut per vias aeris
vaga fertur avis;
non me tenent vincula,
non me tenet clavis,
quero mihi similes
et adiungor pravis.

Mihi cordis gravitas
res videtur gravis;
iocis est amabilis
dulciorque favis;
quicquid Venus imperat,
labor est suavis,
que nunquam in cordibus
habitat ignavis.

Via lata gradior
more iuventutis
inplicor et vitiis
immemor virtutis,
voluptatis avidus
magis quam salutis,
mortuus in anima
curam gero cutis.

many years ago Tom Allen was singing Carmina Burana in the Proms in London and fainted - a member of the audience who was a singing student came backstage and sang the remainder of the concert - the whole thing was broadcast on TV!

lol what a situation!

The best permormance of this marvelous aria I've ever seen.

Been googlng all around tonight comparing versions of Estuans Interius. Despite the plethora of recent recordings, Sir Thomas Allen is still ahead by miles-- he is to this aria as Gobbi is to Scarpia. On the Previn/ English/Armstrong recording from years back, he gives the best version of this very difficult aria I've heard anywhere. This live version is the second best-- he slightly ducks the appallingly difficult high note at the end-- but it's great to SEE him sing it, so thanks for posting.

@zingodoom Or Heavy Metal Kings!

@kkseer I wonder who the student was!?!?! This aria would make most mortals faint.

[zingodoom]

Thumbs up if One Winged Angel brought you here!

[christianandrade06]

increible, simplemente una maravillosa interpretacion, me quedo con la boca abierta, bravo!!

[alexinshade]

@Zovek70 disagreed! it was his interpretation based on the lyrics, kinda anticlimax.

[Zovek70]

@BiggerBango yeap, he missed a note ... it was terrible!

[Zovek70]

Uno de los mejores directores (que a la ves se vuelven intérpretes) de esta gran obra es Seiji Osawa, esta es la muestra del porque, MAJESTUOSO!

[BiggerBango]

oh god, that was a terrible ending, where was the note? he just ended it before it was done! anybody else hear it?
