  • Deggio morire, O stelle from the opera Siroe, re di Persia, HWV 24
    by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
    Eva Zaïcik, mezzo-soprano
    Le Consort
    Justin Taylor, conductor
    Originally sung by the famous castrato, Senesino, born Francesco Bernardi (1686-1758)
    Deggio morire, O stelle!
    Né all’innocenza mia
    V’è chi contento dia,
    Né chi dia pace.
    Io son vicino a morte
    E ogn’un nella mia sorte,
    O mostrasi ribelle,
    O pur si tace.
    TRANSLATION (by Charles Johnston):
    I must die, O stars,
    And there is nothing that offers
    Satisfaction to my innocence,
    Nor grants it peace.
    I am near to death,
    And, in my dire situation, all
    Either revolt against me
    Or remain silent.

    Beautiful mezzo soprano voice with a very rich and warm "texture". Eva Zaïcic a voice to remember

    Infinitely sublime. This version, unlike others, has a sweetness that contrast the dramatic music. Recently I just saw another video of her performing with Le Consort and I can tell she's so beautiful as her voice resembling one of those period paintings.

    It seems to me that this mezzo soprano has a warm and well tempered voice, in armony with the resigned sadness of this beautiful Handel's aria. Congratulations for the choice, dear Jeffrey. Best regards.

      @@JeffreyStivers Indeed, it is a great pity that you do not direct operas. That would save us from many a vulgarity and incomprehensibility of modern directors. In this respect, the last production of Rusalka in Madrid was probably another low point of failed directorial theatre. Fortunately, your video uploads put the musical and visual world back in order with perfectly formed aesthetics. Once more thank you and a big hug!

    Do you personally prefer a mezzosoprano or a countertenor voice?

      @JeffreyStivers  Před 3 lety

      For these operatic roles, I generally prefer a mezzo.
