ANNA BONITATIBUS - Mezzosoprano
Celebrating the golden revival of
TRUE baroque bel canto


Antonio Vivaldi - Griselda
Dramma per musica (RV 718)
Teatro San Samuele 1735


Aria of COSTANZA
*************
Agitata da due venti
freme l'onda in mar turbato
e'l nocchiero spaventato
già s'aspetta naufragar.

Dal dovere, e dall'amore
combattuto questo core
non resiste; par, che ceda,
e cominci a disperar.

  • - Anything by Vivaldi is in itself enough to make me pretty happy.

    -A Vivaldi opera makes me very happy indeed.

    - Griselda is particularly full of fabulousness.

    -Anna by herself is enough to make me weak at the knees.

    -Anna singing Vivaldi is already almost too much to bear.

    -Anna singing the hell out of this aria: I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die.

  • Me too, Crindoro, I find myself sighing, weeping, fainting ... Seriously, this and Anna's "Come Nembo" turned my life upside down. Even if I might have lost my head, I can objectively state that she writes here a style guidebook of baroque singing. Her da capo, her da capo!

  • The most beautiful da capo I have ever heard for Agitata

  • Absolutely, peres010492, A. Bonitatibus does sing the most stylish ornaments here. Who does not recognize this has no understanding of baroque singing. The final "naufragar" is already proof enough. Flowers for Anna.

  • This is the 3rd aria by this amazing singer that I have had the privilege of listening to and this is my favorite - this is the right tessitura for this singer. Wow, she has no CD? Come on, people in the recording industry, wake up, this needs to be recorded for all of us.

  • Sheer Perfection!! we need this on cd!!! music industry WAKE UP!!

  • Why can't she memorize the piece?

  • What she does at 4:45 is so beautiful.

  • Wow! I must find more of her performances. What I loved about this is that nothing sounded rushed, strained, mushed or shouty, which is a feat with.these kinds of runs and that tempo. Every note had a rich, full sound, making her performance sound effortless. Definitely the best I've heard.

  • Brava!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • its awesomely played! too bad quality is so bad...

  • @Gudrun74 Thanks Gudrun74 for posting this and even knowing about Anna...I was ignorant....I have listened to this version another hundred times now....She is the only singer that has anything on Vivica...her ornaments and the depth of her phrasing are ENORMOUS!!!.....She and Vivica both make Bartoli look like an amateur (please lovers of Bartoli;::;please help her...I do not think she understands how awful she sounds sometimes...it does not serve opera as a whole....Anna understands she serves)

  • @Liszt31 This is the best version I have heard other than that of Vivica Genaux....her daCapo is also perhaps more inspired than Vivica's also (which is hard for me to admit: I love Vivica and think her work & mouth movements are tremendous)....I think Anna Bonitatibus has a deep feeling for the meaning of the piece....thanks for your comments Liszt31, and thanks Gudrun74 for posting....WOW

  • Perfecta 

  • Awesome. Why have I never heard of her?
