Salome Sandoval performs at The Cathedral Church of St. Paul's; September 22, 2010. Courtney Curtis, soprano. O come sei gentile by Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643)
for two sopranos and continuo from Concerto. Settimo libro dei madrigali. Venice, 1619
Translation:
Oh how gentle you are, dear bird! How much my state is similar to yours: I am prisoner, you are prisoner; I sing, you sing for her who has bound you, and I too sing for her. But this is different in my painful fate: that also for you it is good to sing, and so you live singing, while I, singing, die.
Good performance and ensemble - and nice continuo playing! Thanks you.
