Pur ti miro - Miah Persson & Sarah Connolly (L'incoronazione di Poppea)

"Pur ti miro", final duet from L'incoronazione di Poppea (1642) by Claudio Monteverdi, with libretto by Giovanni Francesco Busenello. The authorship of the score is disputed, but this final duet is usually credited to Benedetto Ferrari.

Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona
10 February 2009

Poppea: Miah Persson (soprano)
Nerone: Sarah Connolly (mezzosoprano)
Conductor: Harry Bicket

(Apparently this performance is going to be released on DVD.)

Pur ti miro,
Pur ti godo,
Pur ti stringo,
Pur t'annodo,
Più non peno,
Più non moro,
O mia vita, o mi tesoro.
Io son tua...
Tuo son io...
Speme mia, dillo, dì,
Tu sei pur, speme mia
L'idol mio, dillo, dì,
Tu sei pur,
Sì, mio ben,
Sì, mio cor, mia vita, sì.
Pur ti miro,
Pur ti godo,
Pur ti stringo,
Pur t'annodo,
Più non peno,
Più non moro,
O mia vita, o mi tesoro.

I suggest you post this as a video response to the video that Liceu has uploaded ^^

[antmusique]

Ah, but mine is exactly the same thing only with pictures instead of video, so I don't really see the point (in fact there is not much point to this video anymore since they uploaded theirs, come to think of it...).

I que treguin el DVD que ens havien promès ja, si us plau!

[Lilith89ibz]

Ho deia perquè el teu video té 5000 visites més i així els ajudes... xD Potser si veuen que les visites pujen s'afanyen amb el DVD! ;)

[antmusique]

Ha ha, d'acord. Però és molt trist que JO hagi d'ajudar el Gran Teatre del Liceu ;D

A la pàgina de l'agència que representa la Connolly hi ha un llistat amb la seva discografia on apareix el DVD del Liceu, o sigui que sembla que en algun moment sortirà...

[winselpunkt]

I want the DVD!!!!! As soon as possible!!! PLEEEEEAAASE!

[antmusique]

Seconded :)

Oh Sarah, Sarah, Sarah... How can you produce such delightful music?.. Thank you!

[LaMagnifica13]

I'd HATE to hear Bellini sung like this mate!

2;51 breaks my heart. Every. Time.

Nice.

@elcaji 1. What in Gods' name do you mean by "Too operatic"??? It IS opera, had you not noticed?? and 2. you do make one wonder what your conception of the "correct" way to sing Bellini is.."clear sound, warm tone, in tune" is how I'd say it is to be sung..which is here.

Utterly sublime :-)
