This exquistite concertante aria ("With your song") in which the solo violin and the flute deliver a magnificent introduction worthy of Mozart himself. In the opera, Antiope is obliged, in an exotic country, to give her hand in marriage to "the chieftain of the savages", but she has been bewitched by the voice of the Orphean Amphion, and his humane message softens the habits of the savages to such a degree that Antiope gets her Amphion. In the final scene she sings to this transformation.

It's so PRETTY! Me likes this, as they would say in Ivanhoe. I wonder what impression this would have on someone of the Middle Ages... beats me! It's lovely. You have a gorgeous gen of a channel, Meyerbeer1! Love the Kraus. =)
