Pena tiranna (Handel) Nathalie Stutzmann

Pena tiranna / Act 2, Scene 5 from Amadigi di Gaula (HWV 11), 1715
George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
Nathalie Stutzmann with her ensemble Orfeo 55
The role of Dardano was a trouser role originally played by contralto Diana Vico (fl. 1707-32). In this aria, Dardano laments his unrequited love for Oriana, the faithful beloved of his best friend Amadigi.
Pena tiranna
io sento al core,
né spero mai
trovar pietà.
Amor m’affanna
e il mio dolore
in tanti guai
pace non ha.
Grief is the tyrant
of my heart,
nor do I ever hope
to find compassion.
Frantic with love,
my aching heart,
besieged by grief,
can find no peace.
[English translation by Avril Bardoni]

The purest contralto ,heard after a long time.God bless her.

[@frogmouth]

Ah nothing better than contralto for the pain and torment of unrequited love. The Art is brilliant. Amazing how sorrow on this scale can make me feel so happy..it's sheer beauty, I guess.

She is quite a singer. I’m glad you enjoyed this.
