- “Sorge l’irato nembo“ from “Il Farnace.“

Павел Напалков-баритон.Pavel Napalkov-baritone. Ирина Григорьева-фортепиано.Irina Grigorieva-piano. Sorge l’irato nembo, e la fatal tempesta, col sussurrar dell’onde, ed agita, e confonde, e cielo e mar. Ma sciolta in un baleno, fugge la nube in festa e il placido sereno, in cielo appar. (Ma fugge in un baleno l’orrida nube infesta, e ’l placido sereno in cielo appare.) The wrathful storm-cloud arises, and a deadly storm, along with the whispering of the waves turns topsy-turvy and upside down both heavens and sea. Yet this horrid, perilous cloud flees in a flash, and the sky all of a sudden turns peaceful. 1727
