Motezuma's aria (Act I)

Cara fiamma del mio seno,
Sempre, Oh Dio! fedel t'amai,
E costante mi vedrai
Per te sempre a sospirar.

Pria ch'io lasci, o mio tesoro,
D'avvampare a quei bel lumi,
Torneranno indietro i fiumi,
Resterà senz' acque il mar.

Oooh- what a beautiful aria this is!

Whoa. Maria Ercolano has a VOICE. No kidding. XD.

Do you know what the story line to this is?

@NemoProkofiev551

I have only a very vague idea.

Sorry for the very late reply. Haven't logged on for a while.

I got distracted with other things.

Interesting to have a composer different from the usual. A very feminine performance.

[halynamyroslava]

Very beautiful

Thank you, dear

Now I know why you were gone so long. You and Indiana Jones were on a quest for these wonderful De Majo recordings.

Great stuff, never heard any of them before.:o
