Giuseppe Bonno, a composer who showed great musical talent from childhood. This talent enabled him to be sent to Naples to study musical composition. Thanks to his skills as a composer, he was able to rise through the ranks of the Habsburg court and become a composer and conductor at the court, as well as its Chapel Master. Today his operas are, sadly, forgotten (two of them are also lost), with the exception of "L'isola disabitata", from which this soprano aria is taken. The same fate befell his vocal music, although there are recordings of it available.
Se non piange un'infelice, da' viventi separata, dallo sposo abbandonata, dimmi, oh dio, chi piangerà? Chi può dir ch'io pianga a torto, se né men sperar mi lice questo misero conforto d'ottener l'altrui pietà.
Excellent interpretation, divine opera Bonno and this aria in particular. 36 composers composed their versions L'isola disabitata on Metastasius' libretto. Bonno 1753., Niccolò Jommelli 1760., London,Tommaso Traetta 1765., Davide Perez 1767. Lissabon, Joseph Schuster 1779., Haydn, Leipzig,..., Nino Rota, 1932. The idea L'isola disabitata comes from Metastasio's friend, singer Farinelli, who wanted to perform it at the court of Madrid. In L’isola disabitata, Metastasio took up the theme of the happy innocence of primitive people, a motif that had spread widely since Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe of 1719.

Se non piange un'infelice,
da' viventi separata,
dallo sposo abbandonata,
dimmi, oh dio, chi piangerà?
Chi può dir ch'io pianga a torto,
se né men sperar mi lice
questo misero conforto
d'ottener l'altrui pietà.
This is beautiful...…..!...…….

Caray que soprano.
No la conocia.
Le doy un 10
magnifica
Sounds a lot different from Bonno's other work with U2
Composer? Funny fat guy in the movie Amadeus there when Amadeus redoes Salileri's welcome march. Yep. Fat too underrated. Wow. Just amazing.
Yes. Great pearls from "Amadeus". That's what I wanted to write.
Yes, the kapellmeister Giuseppe Bonno
I don't mean to seem rude, but could you please add the lyrics under each aria? Thank you anyway for sharing with us such wonderful music!
