High resolution and stereo sound: “Agitata da due venti“, from the opera Griselda, RV 718 Opera in three acts Music: Antonio Vivaldi Libretto: Carlo Goldoni after Apostolo Zeno First performance: 18 May 1735, in Venice, Teatro San Samuele Costanza: Veronica Cangemi, soprano Ensemble Matheus, conducted by Jean-Christophe Spinosi Recorded in November 2005 Agitata da due venti, freme l’onda in mar turbato e ’l nocchiero spaventato già s’aspetta a naufragar. Dal dovere da l’amore combattuto questo core non resiste e par che ceda e incominci a desperar. Translation (by Steven Paul Spears): Agitated by two winds trembling waves in the turbulent sea and the frightened steersman already awaits to be shipwrecked. By duty and by love this heart is assailed; it cannot resist and seems to give up and begins to despair.
