Philippe Jaroussky - "Sì dolce è il tormento"

Claudio Giovanni Antonio Monteverdi (1567-1643), "Sì dolce è il tormento" (1624)

Philippe Jaroussky, City Recital Hall, Angel Place, Sydney, July 2007.


Sì dolce è il tormento che in seno mi sta
ch'io vivo contento per cruda beltà...
nel ciel di bellezza s'accreschi fierezza et manchi pietà
che sempre qual scoglio all'onda d'orgoglio mia fede sarà...


La speme fallace rivolgami il piè
diletto né pace non scendano a me
e l'empia ch'adoro mi nieghi ristoro di buona mercè
tra doglia infinita, tra speme tradita vivrà la mia fe'...


(Per foco e per gelo riposo non ho
nel porto del Cielo riposo haverò...
se colpo mortale con rigido strale il cor m'impiagò
cangiando mia sorte col dardo di morte il cor sanerò...)

Se fiamma d'amore già mai non sentì
quel rigido core ch'il cor mi rapì
se nega pietate la cruda beltate che l'alma invaghì
ben fia che dolente pentita e languente sospirami un dì...

- Leonardo da Vinci "Virgin of the Rocks".

It was "Audi coelum", songs from the Seicento with Arpeggiata (Monteverdi, Sances, Cazzati, Ferrari...)in the Festival de Froville" near Nancy. Philippe's voice was incredibly pure and was flying in the small church. The Sance's Stabat Mater was a moment of pain and beauty together, nearly intolerable. "Si dolce il tormento" was the last "bis" and we all hoped that it would never ending...An unforgettable memory

Beside at the end I could offer him flowers and congratulate him. He seemed to be surprised and touched, and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. What a beautiful moment !

Это сладость или мучение? Прихоть ущемленной гордости,- То, чем дышит мое сердце? я поднималась все выше в надежде на Вашу любовь.. а теперь остается кинуться в пучину и утонуть? Измена? И я падаю, но тут же воскресаю ледяной холод сменяется огнем в сладком мучении мой Храм И только Вы можете нанести смертельный удар, Одним взглядом… Или эта стрела, Что так сильно ранит меня - Ваша любовь? Эта душа не может сопротивляться искушению Она жаждет прощения за свое желание вечно обладать Вами..
