Aria of ABRA
**********
Fulgeat sol frontis decorae
Et afflictae abeat Aurorae
Rosa vaga tua pupilla.
Ama, langue, finge ardere
Nostrae sorti si favere
Potest una tua favilla.
**********
Let the glory of your fair face shine out,
and the sad dew
be banished from your flashing eye.
Love him, swoon, feign ardour,
if our cause may be advanced
by your fine.
**********
Recommendation:
A not very known "Juditha Triumphans" CD with Mingardo and Invernizzi under Diego Fasolis, Coro della Radio Svizzera, I Barocchisti, Guillemette Laurens (Holofernes), Roberta Invernizzi (Vagaus), Sara Mingardo (Juditha, not Holofernes as above), Manuela Custer (Abra), Tiziana Pizzi (Ozias)
