  • Ciel! Mio padre! & Rivedrai le foreste imbalsamate.
    Leontyne Price & Simon Estes. Metropolitan Opera. 1985.
    Giuseppe Verdi. "AIDA". Atto 3.
    AIDA
    Cielo! mio padre!
    AMONASRO
    A te grave cagione
    Mi adduce, Aida. Nulla sfugge al mio
    Sguardo - D'amor ti struggi
    Per Radamès... ei t'ama... e qui lo attendi.
    Dei Faraon la figlia è tua rivale...
    Razza infame, aborrita e a noi fatale!
    AIDA
    E in suo potere io sto!... Io, d'Amonasro
    Figlia!
    AMONASRO
    In poter di lei!... No!... se lo brami
    La possente rival tu vincerai,
    E patria e trono, e amor, tutto tu avrai.
    Rivedrai le foreste imbalsamate,
    Le fresche valli, i nostri templi d'ôr!...
    AIDA
    Rivedrò le foreste imbalsamate,
    Le nostre valli, i nostri templi d'ôr!...
    AMONASRO
    Sposa felice a lui che amasti tanto,
    Tripudii immensi ivi potrai gioir...
    AIDA
    Un giorno solo di si dolce incanto...
    Un'ora di tal gaudio... e poi morir!
    AMONASRO
    Pur rammenti che a noi l'Egizio immite,
    Le case, i tempii e l'are profanò...
    Trasse in ceppi le vergini rapite...
    Madri... vecchi e fanciulli ei trucidò.
    AIDA
    Ah! ben rammento quegli infausti giorni!
    Rammento i lutti che il mio cor soffrì...
    Deh! fate, o Numi, che per noi ritorni
    L'alba invocata dei sereni di.
    AMONASRO
    Non fia che tardi - In armi ora si desta
    Il popol nostro - tutto pronto è già...
    Vittoria avrem... Solo a saper mi resta
    Qual sentiero il nemico seguirà...
    AIDA
    Chi scoprirlo potria? chi mai?
    AMONASRO
    Tu stessa!
    AIDA
    Io!...
    AMONASRO
    Radamès so che qui attendi... Ei t'ama...
    Ei conduce gli Egizii... Intendi?...
    AIDA
    Orrore!
    Che mi consigli tu? No! no! giammai!
    AMONASRO
    Su, dunque! sorgete
    Egizie coorti,
    Col fuoco struggete
    Le nostre città...
    Spargete il terrore,
    Le stragi, le morti...
    Al vostro furore
    Più freno non v'ha.
    AIDA
    Ah! padre!...
    AMONASRO
    Mia figlia
    Ti chiami!...
    AIDA
    Pietà!
    AMONASRO
    Flutti di sangue scorrono
    Sulle città dei vinti...
    Vedi? dai negri vortici
    Si levano gli estinti...
    Ti additan essi e gridano:
    Per te la patria muor!
    AIDA
    Pietà!...
    AMONASRO
    Una larva orribile
    Fra l'ombre a noi s'affaccia...
    Trema! le scarne braccia
    Sul capo tuo levò...
    Tua madre ell'è... ravvisala...
    Ti maledice...
    AIDA
    Ah no! Padre...
    AMONASRO
    Va indegna! non sei mia prole...
    Dei Faraoni tu sei la schiava.
    AIDA
    Padre, a costoro schiava io non sono...
    Non maledirmi... non imprecarmi...
    Tua figlia ancora potrai chiarmarmi...
    Della mia patria degna sarò.
    AMONASRO
    Pensa che un popolo, vinto, straziato
    Per te soltanto risorger può...
    AIDA
    O patria! o patria... quanto mi costi!
    AMONASRO
    Coraggio ei giunge... là tutto udrò...

    I saw Leontyne Price many times as Aida at the Met - mainly the old Met! To me, she will always BE Aida!
    In fact - little known piece of trivia. My mother and I had ticket for the last performance of Aida at the old Met (April 1966) . Birgit Nilsson was supposed to sing Aida that night. Ossie Hawkins came out prior to the start of the performance ... which meant someone big was not going to perform. After announcing that Mme. Nilsson was indisposed, he stated that Mme Price would sing the role of Aida. THE AUDIENCE WENT WILD!!!
    It was a magical performance! I remember it still!!

    No argument is needed...
    Price is AIDA, not just the best, She is AIDA...
    Yes she may sound a bit off here but considering this was her swansong and that she had given it all earlier that evening to produce the best O Patria Mia ever recorded or sung in history, this is still monumental...

    • @tonshaad1230
      @tonshaad1230 ปีที่แล้ว

      I disagree with that notion. THEE Aida for sometime was considered Tebaldi (Callas is my personal choice for Aida). Price was no more an Aida than she was a Leonora. Hers was better suited for the high-laying parts of Strauss and Mozart (i.e. Arabella, Donna Anna and the Countess.)
      She was not fit for the heavier Verdi soprano roles.

    • @liedersanger1

    • @tonshaad1230
      @tonshaad1230 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@liedersanger1 Except, she wasn't. There are many Leonoras who sounded better than Price in it -- Gencer, Callas, Cerquetti, Arroyo, etc.; and there were better Aidas such as Milanov, Dimitrova, Callas, Milo, Marton and recently, Saioa Hernandez.
      Price was suited for Mozart and Strauss: nothing more, nothing less. She scooped her way through the vocal lines of Verdi and butchered them to sustain her limited voice. There's nothing referential about her singing in Verdi.

      A little bit of respect, these were her farewell performances. She was no longer in a prime, it was just a wonderful opportunity for fans to see this great Diva for a last time. Fans really do not care if the voice is no longer what it has been. They attend out of love, respect, enjoyment and still her fabulous singing.

      Whooping and swooping is generally not thought of as part of bel canto technique. Nor is a middle voice as full of holes as Swiss cheese. Despite the great nostalgia of the evening Cossotto came close to stealing the show. To those ignorant of vocal art the cognoscenti are often mistaken for trolls.
