From the 2024 Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival . The countertenor-- an Israeli guy named Maayan Licht-- has the most incredible, effortless trill, and the music is 11 minutes of bliss. It's really not important --what he's saying-- but if you must know:
Nel già bramoso petto In my panting breast
quel volto sdegnosetto that haughty little face
lasciato ha un non so che: has left an uncertain feeling:
quest'alma, ov'ei non è, whenever she is not here,
langue d'affanno. my heart pines away.
Veder mi parve in quelle I seem to detect
amorosette stelle in those sparkling, loving eyes
un guardo lusinghier, some enticing glance
ma senza inganno. that is free of deception.
