Mozart's Mitridate: Aspassia's Aria "Nel grave tormento"

An excerpt from a film (1986) by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle of Mozart's first opera seria "Mitridate, re di Ponto", composed when Mozart was just in 14 years old. In the role of Aspassia in this recording is Yvonne Kenny, the Concentus Musicus Wien was conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Available in DVD (DGG 2006).

This is world-class singing.

I love Ponnelle’s use of the hand-held camera during the agitata section

One of the most exquisite pieces Mozart ever wrote. The appogiatura on "tormento" is a remarkable detail that just makes the phrase ache.

Elle est magique et parfaite dans son interprétation ! Dieu sait à quel point les airs de mozart sont redoutables ! Merci 🙏

LOVE Ponelle's films of these Baroque & Classical operas. I have not seen this one before although I am a huge fan of his Orfeo film.

Certified Intergalactic! Yvonne Kenny has the best "Nel grave tormento".

[@fan2jnrc]

No the best one ever is Edda Moser's, but Yvonne Kenny is definitely the best after her.

posizione della voce poco convincente ,strangolata .
questa e' la mia modesta opinione .

Nel grave tormento
che il seno m'opprime,
che il seno m'opprime,
mancare gia sento la pace,
la pace nel cor.
Al fiero contrasto
resister non basta,
resister, resister non basta,
e strazia quest'alma
dovere de amore.
e strazia quest'alma
dovere de amore.
