Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676)
Il Giasone
"Delizie Contente"
This recording:
Cecilia Bartoli - Se tu m'ami (If you love me)
Piano: György Fischer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Giasone (Jason) is an opera in three acts and a prologue with music by Francesco Cavalli and a libretto by Giacinto Andrea Cicognini. It was premiered at the Teatro San Cassiano during the Venetian carnival season of 1649. Giasone was "the single most popular opera of the 17th century".The plot is loosely based on the story of Jason and the golden fleece, but the opera contains many comic elements too."
from Wikpedia:
en.wikipedia.or....
"Cavalli was the most influential composer in the rising genre of public opera in mid-17th century Venice. Unlike Monteverdi's early operas, scored for the extravagant court orchestra of Mantua, Cavalli's operas make use of a small orchestra of strings and
basso continuo to meet the limitations of public opera houses.
Cavalli introduced melodious arias into his music and popular types into his libretti. His operas have a remarkably strong sense of dramatic effect as well as a great musical facility, and a grotesque humour which was characteristic of Italian grand opera down
to the death of Alessandro Scarlatti. Cavalli's operas provide the only example of a continuous musical development of a single composer in a single genre from the early to the late 17th century in Venice - only a few operas by others (e.g. Monteverdi and Antonio Cesti) survive. The development is
particularly interesting to scholars because opera was still quite a new medium when Cavalli began working, and had matured into a popular public spectacle by the end of his career.
Cavalli wrote thirty-three operas, twenty-seven of which are still extant, being preserved in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana (Library of St Mark) at Venice. Copies of some of the operas also exist in
other locations. In addition, nine other operas have been attributed to him, though the music is lost and attribution impossible to prove."

Italian Text:
Delizie contente, che l'alma beate fermate.
Su questo mio core deh più,
deh più non stillate le gioie d'amore.
Delizie mie care, fermatevi qui:
non so più bramare, mi basta così.
In grembo agli amori fra dolci catene morir,
morir mi conviene, dolcezza omicida a morte,
a morte mi guida, mi guida in braccio al mio bene.
English Translation (Bertram Kottmann):
Joyful delights, making my soul blissful, come to an end.
On my very heart
do not trickle the joys of love any more.
Dear pleasures, come to an end now:
I cannot desire any longer, it is enough.
In Cupid's lap, in sweet chains I would like to expire.
Mortal sweetness, guide me to death
in the arms of my beloved.
Gorgeous. Just found this piece in an old book - 1908! Beautiful music and lovely interpretation. Cecilia is awesome. And THANK YOU for including the score. So helpful for singers who want to judge range and learn the piece.
the time stop when cecilia singing... that SO beautiful... vive cecila merci beaucoup !
Bellissima aria e grande interpretazione !
For those who wonder what I replied to: "Bartoli's masterful interpretatation should feature her performance, as oposed to the score, which means little to the listener. Heartfelt ovation. K.Czerny."
Simply WONDERFUL! I love Baroque Music, especially when Cecilia Bartoli sings it! =D
WOW ella si es sorprendente.... tiene una vocalizacion estupenda y un perfecto dialecto... mis respetos
Wow, that was heavenly.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes, I believe so. She shows an example of how to perform these arias the way they are in Parisotti's piano arrangements. I would still love to hear them performed as they were composed originally, for a change. See the Michael Chance version of this aria that I posted. Simply another world altogether. Another example: "Nel cor più non mi sento" by Paisielo sounds so different and beautiful as it appears in his opera "La Molinara".
I loved it. A varied melody and sensitively accompanied.
You can find all Handel scores online at IMSLP website as pdf files.
Thank you so much! You always upload great pieces!
i love her....
отлично спето и довольно все быстро и поняно)))
very nice...
Oops, I see he's already mentioned in the 'titlescreen' at the beginning of the video.
Nevertheless, thank you very much!! :)
It isn't true for all listeners. Her interpretation is but a trifle without the composer's score to a person who studies this music. It gains value in context with the composition. I try to provide the opportunity to compare the score with the performance. This way it becomes clear to us how and why her interpretation is masterful. I also accommodate average listeners who can close their eyes and appreciate the interpretation. Sorry, I don't post videos solely for entertainment.

BRAVA E SENZA CONCESSIONI A ABBELLIMENTI !!
Who is the pianist? I Think [s]he deserves to be mentioned.
The pianist is Gyorgy Fischer.
Did you really try to find it? It can be found in one of the most accessible books for vocal students. You gotta be able to find Parisotti's "Arie Antiche, Vol.II" if you have a music store somewhere in your area. And it beats me why your vocal teacher(s) can't provide it for you. Not to mention, it is available to download for free at Art Song Central website. Just do a Google search for it.
Hi
Gorgeus singing, it beats Michael Chance on Jacobs version anyday... but honestly I'd prefer a baroque ensemble as accompaniment.
