Celebrating 50 years of musical career

Pianist: Lorenzo Bavaj
Tenor: Josep Carreras

O Cessate di piagarmi (Alessandro Scarlatti)

O cessate di piagarmi,
o lasciatemi morir!
Luci ingrate,
dispietate,
Più del gelo e più de' marmi
fredde e sorde a' miei martir.
Più d'un angue, più d'un aspe
crudi e sordi a' miei sospir,
occhi alteri,
ciechi e fieri,
voi potete risanarmi,
e godete al mio languir.

@Serinia4melodic Alto is used in choral music only. Contralto is the term used for the lowest female voice in operatic singing. Check out CAMI's webpage or other artistist management webpage. You will see contraltos listed (they are quite rare) but never will you see a singer billed as an alto in operatic or classical repertoire. Look up Marian Anderson, Ernestine Schumann Heink, Dame Clara Butt, Ewa Podles. All billed as contraltos, none billed as the choral term alto.
