Handel's
L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato

Soprano - Kathleen Battle
Conductor - James Levine
Cincinnati May Festival Concerts
1978

Il Penseroso (soprano):
But oh, sad virgin, that thy pow'r
Might raise Musaeus from his bow'r,
Or bid the soul of Orpheus sing
Such notes as, warbled to the string,
Drew iron tears down Pluto's cheeks
And made hell grant what love did seek.

  • I love this piece but the audience coughing spoils it for me. I now understand why Glenn Gould stopped [as I read some time ago] recording live performances.

  • I agree! Respect to Haendel

  • fantastic! thank you!
