Philippe Jaroussky - Sta nell'ircana pietrosa tana

Philippe Jaroussky & Concerto Köln in Katowice (Poland)
Nicolau de Figueiredo (dir/harpsichord)
Festival Ars Cameralis 2009
Encore:
Aria Sta nellircana pietrosa tana (Georg Friedrich Händel, Alcina HWV 34)
***
Italian:
Sta nellIrcana
pietrosa tana
tigre sdegnosa
e incerta pende,
se parte o attende
il cacciator.
Dal teso strale
guardarsi vuole:
ma poi la prole
lascia in periglio.
Freme e lassale
desio di sangue,
pietà del figlio,
poi vince amor.
***
from Orlando furioso - Ludovico Ariosto
________________
English:
In her rocky
Hyrcanian lair
lurks an angry
tigress, unsure
whether to run
or await the hunter.
She wants to save herself
from his arrow,
but that would mean
leaving her young in danger.
She shivers, torn between
bloodlust and
maternal devotion,
the victor is love.

Grottesco! sembra un moscerino impazzito! Orribile!

@Megacle87 Thank you !! I really enjoyed Berganza's voice !! Fantastic... I am glad you guys keep people like me informed about great musicians.

[Megacle87]

Listen to Berganza's Alcina!!! That's wonderful, not this pale, out of tune (Oh my God the high G!!!!!) interpretation (?). A poor, shabby, weak voice; pitiful coloratura. Horrible cadenza. Horrible horrible horrible. Poor Handel. This "singer" is neither the pale shadow of Cusanino (read Burney's reports)

I was in Katowice and listened to his concert...I only can tell you that everybody was a little confusedduring this passage :)

Greetings from Cologne, Germany

[JaRoWi1647]

I was also disappointed and sad - Philippe deserves to get it much more better, he works so generous and sensitive with the orchestra while the rehearsals.....I´m very sorry about the German musici.

hej, musicForAwhile,

dzięki za filmy, można przeżyć raz jeszcze, choć wielki Concerto Koeln mnie rozczarowal.

pozdr:)

[bennigno1]

yes, that's the question what's happened.. I couldn't believe also.. there was no communication between the ensemble and the singer... it wasn't easy. I was a little bit disappointed, expected something more from the great concert koeln, to be honest.
