The great Tebaldi sings this beautiful cantata composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Maybe her prime is past, but her legato is there.

  • Bonynge conducts superbly and Renata sings superbly,added to an inspired Antonio Vivaldi, and you have in this small recording ,one of the greatest of the 20th century!!

  • simply GRANDISSIMA!!!!!

  • Renata Tebaldi is the greatest singer of the 20th or any other century.this is a voice that would overwhelm listeners in the biggest opera houses yet under the close scrutiny of the recording it ravishes our ears to eternity. this one of her last recordings pays tribute to us and the composer at the same time.yes with her great sense of duty and responsability to her voice she pays tribute to all who hear her.who in turn cannot help to pay tribute towards her. the conductor is Richard Bonynge .

  • Piango, gemo, sospiro e peno,

    E la piaga rinchiusa è nel cor.

    Solo chiedo per pace del seno,

    Che m'uccida più fiero dolor

    I weep, I groan, I sigh, I suffer,

    And the pain is confined within my heart.

    I ask only, for the sake of peace in my breast, that an even more fierce pain should kill me.

  • Non ho parole.... Magari cantassi come lei!!!!!

  • very touching!

  • this is very delicate yes. i love this, and i actually have all of Callas' and ponselle's recordings...oeps.

  • This beautiful Vivaldi cantata brings you to the tears because the inmense talent of Renata Tebaldi, she has much soul in her singing, a major artist and the best soprano voice ever existed

  • wonderful.

    I am looking for a cd which contains this intense singing. Not that easy. What is your source? thanks. I am very much moved.
