  • Nice camera cutting back and forth. Wish the colors had been matched but overall, it doesn't distract from the music which is very lovely.

  • I'd like to hear this cantata done with a clarinet.

  • Its translation is:

    "When the vernal breezes ramble

    And through bright-clad meadows blow,

    Amor, too, is wont to venture

    Out to witness his great pride,

    Which, as we believe, is this,

    That one heart the other kiss. "

  • Wonderful cantata! She sings in German, and the aria's lyric is:

    "Wenn die Frühlingslüfte streichen

    Und durch bunte Felder wehn,

    Pflegt auch Amor auszuschleichen,

    Um nach seinem Schmuck zu sehn,

    Welcher, glaubt man, dieser ist,

    Dass ein Herz das andre küsst."

  • Yes I completely agree -- great playing by the d'amore soloist & nice sound. I had heard this aria played with violin obbligato, but on checking the score, I see that it fits the range of the baroque d'amore perfectly, and is in a suitable key (fingered g-minor). Has anyone done it on the baroque instrument?

  • Great D'amore playing!! Beautiful
