Natalie Dessay: Vorrei Spiegarvi, o Dio!

Here is Natalie Dessay singing the glorious "Vorrei Spiegarvi, o Dio!" by Mozart (KV 418) live in 1997. Thank you to DessayBestSinger for supplying me with this recording!

More information on this performance:
Roma, 24 February 1997
Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia
Conductor Myung-Whun CHUNG

Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio!
Qual è l'affanno mio;
Ma mi condanna il fato
A piangere e tacer.
Arder non pù il mio core
Per chi vorrebbe amore
E fa che cruda io sembri,
Un barbaro dover.
Ah conte, partite,
Correte, fuggite
Lontano da me;
La vostra diletta
Emilia v'aspetta,
Languir non la fate,
È degna d'amor.
Ah stelle spietate!
Nemiche mi siete.
Mi perdo s'ei resta.
Partite, correte,
D'amor non parlate,
È vostro il suo cor.


I would like to explain to you, oh God,
what my grief is!
Fate , however condemns me
to weep and keep silent.
My heart may not pine
for the one I would like to love
making me apparently hard-hearted
and cruel.
Alas, Count, part from me,
run, flee
far away from me;
your beloved
Emilia awaits you,
don't keep her languishing,
she is worthy of love.
Alas, pitiless stars!
You are hostile to me.
I am lost when he stays.
Part from me, run,
do not talk about love,
her heart is yours.

Did you speed up the recording. it seems 2 times faster then the real original live video.

@472Shasha This is a different recording from the live video.

[Klassizismus]

This is one of the most magical things Mozart ever wrote for the human voice!!!

[123Niche]

Honnêtement, je préfère le répertoire qu'elle avait avant... Les airs de concerts de Mozart sont tellement plus beaux que les opéras italiens...

[anzolettilino]

bravissima!

[forallyouknow]

Dessay, pre-surgery, in uber-fresh voice, with very tasteful embellishments, and all her top notes. Just... unbeatable.
