When Laura smiles her sight reuiues both night and day: The earth and heauen viewes with delight her wanton play: And her speech with euer-flowing musicke doth repaire The cruell wounds of sorrow and vntam'd despaire. The sprites that remaine in fleeting aire Affect for pastime to vntwine her tressed haire, And the birds thinke sweete Aurora, mornings Queene doth shine From her bright sphere, when Laura shewes her lookes deuine. Dianas eyes are not adorn'd with greater power Then Lauras, when she lists awhile for sport to loure: But when she her eyes encloseth, blindnes doth appeare The chiefest grace of beautie, sweetelie seated there. Loue hath no fire but what he steales from her bright eyes; Time hath no power but that which in her pleasure lyes: For she with her deuine beauties all the world subdues, And fils with heau'nly spirits my humble muse.
someone once said (a particular painting) had a lute in it because a lute, like love, is particularly hard to keep in tune. Seeing this video I think it's particularly hard to play too! Nice playing and her voice is lovely
I don't think it's criticism, I tend to agree with Pasta...I love the performances of Valeria and Alfonso, I really think they are great performers, but indeed she gives the impression she wants to jump of the chair but is stuck to it one way or another...Maybe trying to stand upright would be a good idea, I surely think it would enhance the performance.
Valeria, clearly you are on opera singer who wants to express visually what you sing. This is great but being tied down to a chair makes it look weird. Why don't you stand up and do it right instead of being tethered to the chair? You seem to want to stand up but are glued to the seat. Lovely singing.
Fantastic that somebody still has the passion to do this.

When Laura Smiles Lyrics
When Laura smiles her sight reuiues both night and day:
The earth and heauen viewes with delight her wanton play:
And her speech with euer-flowing musicke doth repaire
The cruell wounds of sorrow and vntam'd despaire.
The sprites that remaine in fleeting aire
Affect for pastime to vntwine her tressed haire,
And the birds thinke sweete Aurora, mornings Queene doth shine
From her bright sphere, when Laura shewes her lookes deuine.
Dianas eyes are not adorn'd with greater power
Then Lauras, when she lists awhile for sport to loure:
But when she her eyes encloseth, blindnes doth appeare
The chiefest grace of beautie, sweetelie seated there.
Loue hath no fire but what he steales from her bright eyes;
Time hath no power but that which in her pleasure lyes:
For she with her deuine beauties all the world subdues,
And fils with heau'nly spirits my humble muse.
Brava, Valeria!
E cosa dire del sorriso di Valeria?...
Questo brano è un merletto, Bravissimi!
Fine voice, and she's so damn cute!
Wow
Brava!
