James Bowman - Sol Da Te Mio Dolce Amore

The legendary British countertenor James Bowman singing Ruggiero's aria Sol Da Te Mio Dolce Amore from Antonio Vivaldi's opera Orlando Furioso (RV 728). This clip is taken from a 1978 production with Marilyn Horne in the title role. The orchestra of Teatro Filarmonico of Verona is conduced by Claudio Scimone. Subtitles in Italian and German. Bowman was, along with fellow pioneer countertenors Alfred Deller, Paul Esswood and Russell Oberlin, crucial in reviving this particular voice type.

Translation I found:

Only from you, my sweet love,

this heart

will have peace, will have comfort.

Your beautiful sweet eyes

are the stars

with which Love guides me to the harbor.

Thank you very much for this! :)

The version of Spinosi has a fantastic flutist. And a great singer.

[Rik77]

Love Bowman in this. But the flautist is average. Shame really as its a beautiful flute moment.

@lapanen007 I agree completely. Have been listening to Bowman's version comparatively with Sonia Prina, who is excellent as well. But, Bowman gets the meaning across so expressively

[Phebus74]

Terrificante!Ho il video integrale ma non ho mai avuto il coraggio di guardarlo.Intonazione assai precaria come sempre e la coloratura...beh,meglio lasciar perdere mai ha saputo cosa fosse.

[lapanen007]

oh my... Bowman does it again :) He just is so meaningful

[baalhaophanim]

the flutist woman is bad, she doesn't fill what she is playing

[tamerlano236]

Very good. Great aria. The best version of Sol da te I've ever heard is Nicholas Spanos's.

[gianm73yout]

Very young! Thank you for posting.

Hai perfettamente ragione. strano che Bowmann canti a quel modo, che gli è successo?? Spezza i fiati, fraseggia come un bambino ed il flauto...dai,in questo pezzo dovrebbe far sognare, qui fa ridere. Boh!!
