Per la gloria d'adorarvi - Ramon Vargas

Ernesto's aria in Griselda, opera composed by Bononcini (1670-1747), sung by Ramon Vargas (tenor)

Per la gloria d'adorarvi voglio amarvi, o luci care
Amando penerò, ma sempre v'amerò, sì, sì, nel mio penare:
penerò, v'amerò, luci care.
Senza speme di diletto vano affetto è sospirare,
ma i vostri dolci rai chi vagheggiar può mai e non, e non v'amare?
penerò, v'amerò, luci care!

For the love my heart doth prize, O charmful eyes, I would adore ye.
For me, my love is pain, I know 'tis all in vain, vain, vain, yet kneel before ye.
love is pain, all in vain I implore ye.
Hopeless 'tis to look for kindness, Foolish fondness with sighs t'implore ye,
But who-e'er might woo your gaze, Bask in your sunny rays, and not, and not adore ye?
love is pain, all in vain I implore ye.

I think this guy is underrated. His timbre is so much nicer, and fuller, than some of the people we keep seeing around right now..

I love this song, thanks for the upload.

[GordonZaft]

This tempo is a bit faster than what's marked in my score (andante) but I like it much better -- it flows nicely.

@ktrum492 you're not supposed to hold the high note on the first penero, the second one has a rit. and a fermata.

Great!!!

[ktrum492]

To be fair, this phrases could have been a little smoother and he could have held out the high As in the first peneros a little longer, but that aside, I second everything said about his tenor tone, very full and very naturally tenor timbre, as well as very good ornamentation. Best rendition of this song behind Pavarotti's.

Of all the renditions on youtube, this is my favorite by far. I am singing this song for an all-state chorus audition, and I plan to use this version to study by. His voice is much clearer and seemingly fuller than all the singers who try to sing this song very deep, or "in the mud" to me. Awesome!

Simply beautiful. Strings are a great compliment to the piece. I love his "additions" to the piece. Just fabulous!!
