Idomeneo (10) Idol Mio Se Ritroso (Elektra)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZmvJHfrGU4

ELETTRA
Idol mio, se ritroso
Altra amante a me ti rende,
Non m'offende rigoroso,
Più m'alletta austero amor.

Scaccierà vicino ardore
Dal tuo sen l'ardor lontano;
Più la mano può d'amore,
S'è vicin l'amante cor.

CORO
Placido è il mar, andiamo;
Tutto ci rassicura.
Felice avrem ventura,
Su su, partiamo or or.

ELETTRA
Soavi zeffiri
Soli spirate,
DeI freddo borea
L'ira calmate.
D'aura piacevole
Cortesi siate,
Se da voi spargesi
Per tutto amor.

ELECTRA
My dearest, if reluctantly
your other lover yields you to me,
constrained love does not deter me,
and your coldness is more alluring to me.

Passion close at hand will drive
from your heart more distant fires;
the hand of love has more power
when the beloved is near.

CHORUS
The sea is calm; let us go;
everything is reassuring;
we shall have good fortune;
come, let us leave at once!

ELECTRA
Blow,
gentle breezes only;
calm the anger
of the icy north wind;
be generous
with your pleasing breath
which spreads
love everywhere.

@leporello89 creo que tienes toda la razon, depende mucho de los gustos, para mi por ejemplo la mejor Elettra que he podido escuchar es Edda Moser, lo cual no significa que sea la mejor, solo que para mi lo es...

[asisecanta]

In my opinioin, Idamante should enter in the stage AFTER THE CHORUS. So, I like Elettra to be alone meanwhile she is singing 'Idol mio', as if she were dreaming or reflecting. Obviously, if Idamante doesn't love her, having the prince on the stage during 'Idol mio' makes the aria less evocative, less erotic.

[AccidentalTouch]

But why has Idamantis to be on stage with her? Isn't it enough to let her be alone and express her feelings?

By the way, although I like Annette Dasch very much and apreciate her renditions very much, I prefer Anja Harteros' version.

[mrmaxed]

firstly the story behind the song was understood but not well undergone.The son of the King should be there otherwise we would be singing of something that doesn't exist.I like the way you bring out your emotions(10 out of 10). The king must show that he is worried or puzzled(not as if he is okay with what was going to happen) but all in all a good rendition

[jperniciaro]

This is the next best thing to Carol Vaness in this role!

[moghedien13]

Her voice is not the type I would associate with Mozart, but she does have a beautiful voice and is very technically and histrionically accomplished. One of the best.

Pero no visto una que se aprixima a lo que puede ser Elektra :) es lo que digo

[leporello89]

El interprete ideal no existe, pero para ningun papel...algunos se aproximan y también influyen los gustos de cada uno; respecto a la grabación de Bohm no la tengo, pero la buscaré, cuando la escuche te digo ;)

[elias12186]

Pero una Elektra ideal no hay...la musica es muy buena pero realizada asi nunca. Tengo como 8 cds de Idomeneo, la de Bohm no es mala, me gusta quando canta esta aria.

[leporello89]

Frittoli también es una buena Elettra, posiblemente Netrebko cuando la cante dentro de un par de años (esos son sus planes según creo...), Orgonasova no lo hace mal...pero de momento para mi Dasch va en cabeza ;)

[elias12186]

Well she sings it okay...the best Elektra is still to be found for me...it remains in my head.

[leporello89]

Si! Es mi aria favorita ;D

[elias12186]

de rien amigo, quiero oir come hace d'oreste d'aiace, manana la posto.

[leporello89]

Perfecta Elettra, gracias por colgarlo!
