Philippe Jaroussky - Ombra mai fù | Händel - Serse
George Friedrich Händel - Ombra mai fù, Largo from the Serse (Xerxes), Opera, HWV 40, 1738 | Philippe Jaroussky. Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Vasily Petrenko. Sublime performance recently disappeared. Lyrics:
“Frondi tenere e belle
del mio platano amato
per voi risplenda il fato.
Tuoni, lampi, e procelle
non v’oltraggino mai la cara pace,
nè giunga a profanarvi austro rapace.
Ombra mai fu
di vegetabile,
cara ed amabile,
soave più.
“Tender and beautiful fronds
of my beloved plane tree,
let Fate smile upon you.
May thunder, lightning, and storms
never bother your dear peace,
nor may you by blowing winds be profaned.
A shade there never was,
of any plant,
dearer and more lovely,
or more sweet.
