La tortorella, mentre si lagna

alla compagna, dice così:

ama a chi t'ama;

e, a chi ti brama, torna fedel

come già fosti un dì.

The dove, while complaining;

to her companion says:

"Love to one who loves you;

and return to one who wants you;

as faithful as you were once."

[Thrax1982]

@thebarroque

Thanks for the text

[thebarroque]

What a beautiful voice, can't wait to have the studio recording of this :)

[Thrax1982]

There will be recording?

With the same cast?

If so then I can take it a bit easier with this opera. Couple of more things and I'll move on.

[thebarroque]

With this exactly same cast not, but the recording was made at the last three months of the last year, and I hope it'll be released soon the cast is this:

Alan Curtis, Il Complesso Barocco.

Tolomeo: Ann Hallenberg, mezzo-soprano; Seleuce: Klara Ek, soprano;

Elisa: Roberta Invernizzi, soprano;

Araspe: Theodora Baka, mezzo-soprano;

Alessandro: Raffaella Milanesi, soprano;

Dorisbe: Mary-Ellen Nesi, mezzo-soprano.

[Thrax1982]

Two singers are different then.

This concert has Semmingsen as Dorisbe and Veronique Gens as Alessandro.
