Vivica Genaux LIVE 2007: Fammi Combattere

Stefano Montanari: Concerto Köln
Bad Ems 7. Juli 2007

G.F. Handel (1685 - 1759): Orlando
Dramma per musica

***************************
Fammi combattere
Mostri e tifei,
Novi trofei
Se vuoi dal mio valor.

Muraglie abbattere
Disfare incanti,
Se vuoi ch'io vanti
Darti prove d'amor.
***************************
Go bid my combat, in the field,
the fiercest monsters earth can yield,
if you, indulgent to my fame,
new trophies of my valour claim.

Bid me o'erturn some hostile tower
or quell a dire magician's power,
if 'tis thy pleasure I should prove,
by dauntless deeds, how much I love.

Thanks for the video Comment.

What was the program on that evening in Bad Ems ? It seems to be similar to her TCE recital in December 2006 : Vivica sang "Fammi Combattere", "Ah! Stigie larve...", "Sta nell'ircana" and cantatas from Hasse. But it was with La Cetra, Attilio Cremonesi. Unfortunately, I don't know any recording of that concert.

Apart the 4 I've uploaded she sang Hasse's "Di quel acciaro al lampo" (Solimano, on youtube) and "Ricali quel acciaro" (Ezio, tell me if you want it). No Orlando mad scene. A friend sent me the mp3s, don't know more. Finding out the dates of her concerts is really a challenge ...

Actually I was wrong. I looked in the program I kept. From Handel she also sang "Scherza infida". From Hasse it was not cantatas but opera arias "Superbo di me stesso" from l'Olimpiade, "Son morta... Nelle cupe orrende grotte" from Senocrita, "Fra quest' ombre" from Solimano and "Nocchier che teme assorto" from Cajo Fabriccio.
