Aria of ZENOBIA
***************************
Son contenta di morire,
empia sorte, astri tiranni,
per placar vostro furor.

Fate pur che le vostr'ire
in me volgano gli affanni,
si la morte darà fine al mio dolor.
***************************
I am content to die,
pitiless fate and cruel stars,
to appease your wrath.

Just make your anger
turn its toorments upon me,
and so death will bring an end to my sorrow.

__________________________
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've gotta let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Are we human
Or are we dancer?

VIVALDI NEW DISCOVERIES
World Premiere recording
Naïve, febbraio 2009

ROMINA BASSO, mezzosoprano
MODO ANTIQUO
Federico Maria Sardelli


A NEW SIDE OF VIVALDI

All the items included in this programme are new additions to the canon of Vivaldis works. Apart from their novelty, they form an attractive and varied conspectus of the composers activity.

Some including works of considerable importance have escaped previous discovery by being preserved in an anonymous source or even by being attributed falsely to a different composer.

Some of the pieces included in this stocktaking of newly discovered Vivaldi works are fully comparable in quality and ambition to their counterparts in the relevant section of Vivaldis oeuvre, and there is no reason why they should not immediately take their rightful place among their peers.

The new discoveries present a new side of Vivaldi.
