Mozart: Ch'io mi scordi di te?/Non temer, K.505 (V Gens)

Excerpt from W.A. Mozart's concert aria (K.505) 'Ch'io mi scordi di te?/ Non temer amato bene', first written for insertion into Act II of his opera, Idomeneo (to be sung by Idamante), then revised with piano obbligato as a parting gift for Nancy Storace (the originator of Susanna for his 'Le nozze di Figaro').

This most wonderful duet between the soprano voice and piano can be heard in full on Veronique Gens' 'Mozart: Airs de Concert et d'Opera' CD on Veritas Label.

has she been in anything else? I've never heard of her, and she did a marvelous job!

[SDCmorg]

Yep, she's doing pretty well in Europe, I think. She's the Vitellia in the RCA Red Seal's CD of La Clemenza di Tito (Steinberg/ Castronovo, Kasarova, Gens), in the OpusArte DVD of Rameau's Castor et Pollux.. and has 2 solo CDs on the Virgin Label that I know of. A very good French soprano! :o)

"perché....percheeé??!!" is not the rest in here???

Ok, buy the CD...got it. So rare to see such an honest user here :D

(or a music label PR maybe?..nah, I don't think so. The music you promote is too good for that).

Thank you! I love this aria.

[SDCmorg]

Ha! I wouldn't mind getting that job, matie! ;o)

Yup, I'm uneasy about posting commercially available stuff here. Would do 'teasers', but would rather that interested folks buy the recordings. I just love these opera singers, you know. ;o) thanks for stopping by!

BRAVO

[tetrazzini]

Sompteux, quelle classe et quel phrasé dans la coda !!! La version de Bernarda Fink est extraordinaire également

[LocaliFRANCE]

Piètres images, pas de création ni de rythme, diaporama sans intérêt.

[Bajazet]

brava Veronique! mais le fortepiano est vraiment hors d'intonation... ça sonne comme de la ferraille, dommage.

[kachzvi18]

Quite good!! Still, the best I have ever heard of this aria is from Margaret Price,, concert arias and opera with James Lockhart,, RCa from the mid seventies!
