Faithful to its biblical inspiration, Nabucco is an opera with shamelessly epic proportions. Governings defy their gods, love struggles against empire, and religious revelation goes hand in hand with divine retribution. Giuseppe Verdi's inspired treatment of Israelite slavery and Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar's dramatic conversion to Judaism captivated audiences of the time in a borrowed metaphor of freedom. The young composer gave voice to a bubbling Italian nationalism, which was soon to explode with incendiary force. The opera's most famous passage, being this one: Va pensiero, (Chorus of Slaves) became the unofficial anthem of the Italian independence movement, and the score is filled with musical ideas showing Verdi's ability to innovate the lyrical convention in the service of character development and psychological depth. Prefiguring his mature works, the opera Nabucco shows us a young composer who begins to grasp the full extent and power of his artistic vision. Musically, In a brief orchestral introduction, the initial sonorities, dark and mysterious, alternate with the sudden violence of the strings in tremolo on the bass arpeggios and the last measures, with the ornamentations of flutes and clarinets pianissimo, seem to evoke the dear places and distant places spoken of in the verses. Opera is the perfect expression of an ideal world. *Lucien*
Fascinant !!!!
Very well played. Perfect audio- and video-editing!
