    Wow! The Soprano and Alto have the sweetest and most beautiful timbre ever. I had never heard such lovely vibrato in this style. Downtown Quartet> PLEASE post more clips like this!!! Count me in as your super fan! We want more!

    Bravo to the soprano for holding that long final note to the end! I think "Il bianco e dolce cigno" is the most beautiful of all madrigals.

    Il bianco e dolce cigno cantando more, ed io piangendo giung' al fin del viver mio. Stran' e diversa sorte, ch'ei more sconsolato ed io moro beato. Morte che nel morire m'empie di gioia tutto e di desire. Se nel morir, altro dolor non sento,
    di mille mort' il di sarei contento.
    The white and sweet swan dies singing, and I, weeping, reach the end of my life. Strange and different fate, that he dies disconsolate and I die a blessed death, which in dying fills me full of joy and desire. If in dying, were I to feel no other pain,
    I would be content to die a thousand deaths a day.

    piangendo giung' al fin del viver mio.
    Stran' e diversa sorte,
    ch'ei more sconsolato
    ed io moro beato.
    Morte che nel morire

    Se nel morir, altro dolor non sento,

    And the english translation:
    The white and sweet swan
    dies singing, and I,
    weeping, reach the end of my life.
    Strange and different fate,
    that he dies disconsolate
    and I die a blessed death,
    which in dying fills me
    full of joy and desire.
    If in dying, were I to feel no other pain,
    I would be content to die a thousand deaths a day.

      The first time I listened, I thought the soprano sung her Final note from 1:58 until the end (Which I thought was pretty impressive!). But when I listened a second time, I had the impression she "cheated" at 2:04? Or am I wrong? 😆
