Qual nave smarrita - Marijana Mijanovic - Radamisto LIVE 2004 - Handel

From M. MIJANOVIC´s first SENESINO role in Zurich:
RADAMISTO, March 2004

It is the Dec 1720 / Jan 1721 version, in which G.F. Handel passed the role of Radamisto from soprano M. Durastanti to alto-castrato Senesino!

Sorry for poor audio quality, unfortunately only 2 arias are professionally recorded - on MM's "affetti barocchi" CD

William Christie, La Scintilla

Liliana Nikiteanu (Zenobia)
Malin Hartelius (Polissena)
Rolf Haunstein (Farasmane)

********************
Qual nave smarrita
Tra Sirti e tempeste,
Ne Luce, ne Porto
Le toglie il timor.

Tal' io senz' aita
Fra doglie funeste
Non trovo conforto
Al misero cor.
********************
Like a ship lost among
shifting sands and tempests,
no light, no harbour
rids it of fear.

So I, without help,
in my deadly sufferings,
find no comfort
for my grieving heart.
