Manoli sings "Se il cor guerriero" from Vivaldi's Tito Manlio

Disclaimer - I own something this time
Fun piece to sing, from Vivaldi’s magnificent opera seria Tito Manlio. It was my first time doing it live. I apologize for the poor audio quality, it was an outdoor concert.

Tito Manlio is that rare thing: a Baroque opera with the name part composed specifically for basso voice. Most of Tito's arias are declamatory and syllabic in nature, but this one, the first aria in the work, gives the artist some scope for legato and fioritura, which you take advantage of impressively. Your feeling for Vivaldi, the seria genre and early music in general are most admirable. Please continue to post your performances for us to enjoy! Thank you, Manoli!

Thank you for the kind words Jason. Much to my surprise, after the performance, one of the other performers told me that this aria is one of their favorites. I told her that I hoped I had done it justice and that I wish that the rest of the role was as good as this aria!

Dear Manoli.Wonderful legatos for this astonishingly rare piece.Its hardly ever represented.It was commanded for the wedding of the Head of Mantua with Leonora di Guasalla.Wedding that wasn't celebrated.But nevertheless it was played during the feasts of Mantua,in its impressive Theatre.
The subject is the story of Tito Manlio with consular responsibilities in Rome.
Apparently it was the taste of the epoque to repeat several parts of other pieces of works like this in the piece,which here only happens in 7 out of 41.
The instrumentation is also very suitable.When you don't sing I think I'm listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
Your evolution is incredible from one apparition to the next.Wonderful Manoli.Congratulations from the bottom of my heart ❤️.
