Ah! spietato! e non ti muove from Amadigi di Gaula, HWV 11 (1715) George Frideric Handel +••.••(...)) Sandrine Piau, soprano Les Talens Lyriques under Christophe Rousset Ah! spietato! e non ti muove un affetto si costante, che per te mi fa languir! Ma crudel, tu non sai, come fai sdegnar' un alma amante, che tu brami di tradir…. No, non sai. Ah, cruel one! And you are not moved By such faithful affection That makes me languish for you! But, pitiless, you do not realize that You scorn a loving soul, Whom you wish to betray. No, you do not know. This role of Melissa was created by Elisabetta Pilotti-Schiavonetti (c. 1680-1742). Three of the roles that Handel wrote specifically for her were sorceresses, and the demands of those roles indicate that she possessed an exceptional voice capable of both dramatic power and technical agility. (http•••) "The libretto, probably by Nicola Haym, was based on a French model, originally set by André Destouches in 1699. Like Rinaldo, it has a prominent role for a jealous sorceress, Melissa, who is determined to destroy the liaison between the hero Amadis and his beloved Oriana. Melissa is not portrayed as wholly evil, but as a woman torn between a genuine but unrequited love for Amadis and a desire to punish him for rejecting her. Her dilemma is immediately apparent in her first aria ‘Ah! spietato’. In the slow main section the anguish expressed by the vocal line is poignantly echoed by a solo oboe. The mood turns to anger in the fast middle section, after which the return of the main section is especially heartrending—a fine example of the da capo principle being used for dramatic effect." from notes by Anthony Hicks 1996 CD available from Naïve: (http•••) Photography by Annie Bertram: (http•••)

George Frideric Handel Rinaldo, HWV 7 "Cara sposa" Rinaldo's aria from act I, sc.7 Premiere Cast, February 24, 1711: Rinaldo: Nicolo Grimaldi, castrato Eustazio: Valentino Urbani, castrato Armida: Elisabetta Pilotti-Schiavonetti, soprano Almirena: Isabella Girardeau, soprano Goffredo: Francesca Vanini-Boschi, contralto Argante: Giuseppe Boschi, bass In this video: Andreas Scholl, countertenor Accademia Bizantina Direction: Ottavio Dantone Live performance from Festival de Musique de Dresde, 12 May, 2008 Rinaldo sings this aria after his fiancee Almirena is abducted by the sorceress Armida. "Rinaldo was first produced at the Queen's (later King's) Theatre in the Haymarket on 24 February 1711. It was Handel's first opera for London, and also the first Italian opera specifically composed for the London stage. The concept of opera as a wholly sung musical drama was still new in Britain, and through the first successful production was an English version of Giovanni Bononcini's Camilla in 1706, the popularity of Italian singers — especially the sensational castrati — swiftly established opera in the Italian language as the standard form. ... Synopsis The action is set at the time of the First Crusade +••.••(...)). Christian forces led by Goffredo (Godfrey of Bouillon) are laying siege to the city of Jerusalem, held by the Saracen king Argante. With Goffredo are his brother Eustazio and his daughter Almirena, who is in love with the Christian knight Rinaldo. Argante is supported by Armida, Queen of Damascus and a powerful sorceress. ... Rinaldo's own aria of lament in Act One, 'Cara sposa', is even more intense, its brooding power sustained by the fully worked and occasionally chromatic counterpoint of the string accompaniment. " - Anthony Hicks "Like Handel's other operas, Rinaldo fell into oblivion for two hundred years. However, starting in the 1970s, it has been revived regularly and has become part of the standard operatic repertoire. Several arias from this opera, such as 'Lascia ch'io pianga' and 'Cara sposa', have become recitalists' favorites." -Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Original text: Cara sposa, amante cara, dove sei? Deh! Ritorna a' pianti miei. Del vostro Erebo sull'ara colla face del mio sdegno io vi sfido o spirti rei! Translation: (by Kenneth Chalmers) My dear betrothed, my dear one, where are you? Come back at my tears! Evil spirits, I defy you with the fire of my wrath on your infernal altar.
