(HD 1080p) Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, Pietro Mascagni

Opera composers sometimes wrote instrumental intermezzi as connecting pieces between acts of operas. In this sense an intermezzo is similar to the entr'acte (intermission). The most famous of this type of intermezzo is probably the intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, by Pietro Mascagni..
Here is a video of landscape images of Tuscany, Italy set to the music of the intermezzo from this opera wriitten by Pietro Mascagni.

[@adrianlarkins7259]

I'm now 74. I heard this for the first time aged 10 on the radio. I clearly remember asking my parents what it was. I said it made me feel sad but I wanted a record because it was so beautiful. The next day father bought the 78 rpm record. It was played until it was worn out.

Mascagni wrote many other pieces of music, but while other famous composers were noted for writing several well known pieces each, this intermezzo became Mascagni's only 'known' work. And everything else he wrote sank into relative obscurity. But if you're only going to be known for one piece of music, this surely has to be it.

I'd like this played at the end of the first half of Bagi, The Return of the Monster with Ryo crying over everything which he thinks is his fault. How he fears that even after giving Bagi the shot to cure her feral state, he thinks he still killed her. He doesn't notice that the vaccine worked and saved Bagi. And with Skunk (Astro Boy) about to drop an unpinned grenade, Ryo wants to take responsibility for everything and wants to bid a tear-stained farewell to Bagi The sad last words of the first half: Ryo:"It no longer matters... I've abandoned everything and everyone... I cut school. I couldn't save them, Bagi, or my mother... I don't wanna add another page to my dark history any longer... I don't think it's a dud... I'll never hear Bagi's voice again, but the least I can do for her is take responsibility... (doesn't realize Bagi's ears are twitching, as is her tail) *sniff tears* Bagi, my mother and I deserve an "I told you so" for everything. Wherever you are, whatever better place you've gone to with your friends from that lab... I'll never make it there... *sob* *sob* This is goodbye for good when that grenade hits the ground. (first words for Bagi by proxy) We, *sob* as I would want you and not me to say, will always be friends. (camera shows Bagi's POV racing to save Ryo before the grenade goes off) We will always be (with seconds before Skunk's unpinned grenade leaves his fingertips, Ryo doesn't realize he's being scooped up to be carried away from the blast) TOGETHER!"

è mai possibile che la "Nostra Musica" meravigliosa , apprezzata nel mondo intero, abbia commenti di apprezzamento quasi unicamente da persone straniere!!! dov'è finito l'orgoglio di essere nati nel Paese di Verdi, Puccini, Donizetti, Bellini, Mascagni e chi più ne ha ne metta????? ricordiamo sempre che siamo eredi di una cultura musicale strepitosa e unica al mondo! Grazie.

Cara Giuseppina, non abbiamo ereditato solo la musica!, ricordati che più della metà del patrimonio culturale mondiale è Itaiano! Solo gli str....Non se ne curano, anzi , fanno di tutto per accordarsi con chi sappiamo perché venga distrutto. Ricordi che tempo fa qualcuno aveva affermato che con la cultura non si mangia? Beh, abbiamo davvero fatto passi da....giganti, già, proprio così, deprimente!

[@SethNoorzad]

Maybe it's just from seeing it in the Godfather, but this piece always evokes a feeling of seeing something from a fuller perspective. Something that wasn't always clear while it was going on, that was full of heartbreak, mistakes, and also its pleasures. What wasn't so obvious until now was its incredible beauty, and the piece evokes regret or joy to the extent that we were able to appreciate that while it was going on.

🇮🇹 Il silenzio a volte dice piú di mille parole, e questa musica magnifica fa sognare ad occhi aperti questo paese meraviglioso. In questi giorni di isolamento, di angoscia e di buio si amplifica il desiderio di vivere ancora intensamente questo paese meraviglioso, ricco di storia, di leggenda, di genio, di cultura, di buon cibo, di tradizione, di lavoro e di famiglia. Nessun uomo é piú fortunato di un Italiano che sappia apprezzare cio che il destino gli ha donato.

Dies war das liebste Musikstück unserer 2017 verstorbenen Mutter, welches wir auch an ihrer Beerdigung spielen liessen.
