I love how restrained the vibrato is. It makes such a clearer and piercing sound, like the scream of a betrayed lover. This restraint makes this my preferred interpretation.
And all that, the backdrop to an absolutely fantastic fight sequence. I was like wtf - this anime touches my soul. Lmao. It's been some time I enjoyed something so thoroughly as this.
Flawless performance of this technically challenging piece. I'm forever amazed at the sophistication of the four hundred-year-old music of Claudio Monteverdi and Felice Sances.
Back in those days only men were allowed to perform on stage, so it makes sense that this sounds better with a male voice. It was first written with that in mind, I’m sure.
«Amor», decía, deteniendo el pie, mirando el cielo, «¿Dónde, dónde está la fidelidad que el traidor me juró?» Pobrecilla, no puede más, ay, ya no puede soportar tanto sufrimiento. «Haz que vuelva mi amor tal como antaño fue, o déjame morir, para que no sufra más. No quiero ya que él suspire sino estando lejos de mí, no, no quiero que me dé más dolores. Pues el saber que por él ardo satisface su orgullo, quizá, quizá al alejarme él, a su vez, empezará a rogarme. Si ella tiene para él más serena mirada que la mía, sin embargo no alberga en su seno un amor que sea tan fiel como el mío. Ni tendrá nunca besos tan dulces de esa boca, ni más tiernos, ay calla, calla, él bien lo sabe.» Así, entre amargas lágrimas, llenaba el cielo con su voz; así en el corazón de los amantes el amor mezcla el fuego con el hielo.
please anyone correct me if i'm wrong, but this is not a period accurate rendition. it's based on the 'Round M album version as far as i can gather, in which the piece is sung with heavy glissandi, in a soulful, jazzy manner (which i personally find rather jarring, but that's just an aesthetic judgement). the original score doesn't include any glissandi and sounds very different. what i'm saying is that this kind of is pop music as well.
@@calinguga I must protest. profeti della quinta, seen in the video, is the leading group for historical performance and research. I can bet my life that this is one of the most accurate rendition in existence. I do not know where the concept of rigid performance came from- but early music is not at all like late romantic music. in fact it is one of the most freely interpreted of any kind of music among all of western music. the second practice led by Monteverdi, focused more on singing naturally, in a way that is more similar to speech. many early music treatises explicitly state that the length of the note should be varied on the judgement of the singer so that the singing is more natural, and also state that glissandos (then called portamentos, as the term wasn't used back then) can be as a diminution applied at the liberty of the singer. one of the singers in this video, Elam rotem, has a great channel called early music source on youtube, where you will find a great video on diminutions. it doesn't elaborate or explain portamentos, but still gives an idea to the amount of liberty the performers had and that the music score was just a tool to remember/learn/record the music.
Wow, I've only heard this song performed by a female voice, but this man's voice, his masterful control are just amazing. Of course, I loved the tenors as well. Very touching and impactful interpretation! Thank you.
Es impresionante la belleza de esta obra maestra, despues dicen que los videojuegos no aportan nada, gracias Castlevania por haberme hecho descubrir esta belleza
Although hes an Italian composer the piece uses the Andalusian Cadence beautifully which originated in southern Spain. I love how regional music influences others. Props to the singer of this piece though, his interpretation is beautiful and very emotive!
When I was 14 I bought Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi, my first introduction into the Baroque music, and since then this piece has been one of my favorites ever. Even now I try to sing it while playing the basso continuo whit my ukelele... Thank you for such a great performance!!!
Similar! I was taking a music literacy class in college in the late 80s, and one weekend I bought a Josquin CD with the Hilliard Ensemble, and a double CD of Monteverdi's libro 8--I don't remember the ensemble that performed it, but I immediately focused on the Lamento and listened to it countless times! I love the countertenor here. I'm a basso singer, so I can't possibly replicate this without falsetto, but I try, every time I hear it!
Incredibile, da quando ho scoperto questo pezzo ne ho cercato ed ascoltato almeno una ventina di versioni diverse (ma sicuramente di più) ed è incredibile come la migliore (a mio modestissimo parere) sia questa. Sicuramente la miglior voce e tra le migliori interpretazioni, ed è un uomo!! I miei migliori complimenti ! P.S. mi sembra giusto aggiungere che anche il coro è il migliore che abbia sentito, sono fantastici. Si lo so, la primadonna ruba un po' il palcoscenico :D
Beautiful expressions, mesmerizing! Excellent performance❤ The hope, the love, the disappointment, the naivety, the pain, the questioning, a little surprised and a bit reproachfull, the shame, the longing, the desperation. The all-out confusion of lost love. Impressive performance. A shame you can’t see it on the album/cd, would buy a dvd as well ;)
Like a lot of us castelvania nocturne bring me here😂 I love the song so much and im happy the melancoly and the sadness i felt listening goes with the traduction ❤
I woke up out of my sleep when I heard this playing in a movie, had to find the baroque. Woke up the next morning looked at the sunrise and played this. Cried heavily
1. This guy opens his mouth and angelic music flows from him. Dude can burp and sound comes out. 2. Thank you castlevania for introducing some of us to this. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I love the affects to the solo voice, they almost sound modern! But coming from you guys, I know that it’s been researched and I’d historically informed 😁
Like all the glorious edifices erected in Italy, its composers also kept abreast with the 'Zeit Geist' and what music they turned out! Thanks to the RUclips & consummate performers such as this ensemble, they have a deservedly wider audience.
Such a melancholy and bittersweet music and yet this gives me such life, I enjoy opera anyway but thank you to Castlevania nocturne for pointing me to this beautiful peice of music that makes my soul vibrate in its Harmony. The artist is truely transcendent in their performance, this is a song the world needs.
Wow!!!! That countertenor is amazing, such a delicate and powerful tone and such compelling expressive choices. Well done. Where's the lute player? Is that a theorbo?
Thank you Castlevania for showing me this masterpiece 😭
ahah same here
blessed
Im here because of claptrap.😢
Exactly😂😂😂
❤️❤️
I love how Castlevania is bringing this beautiful song to a wider audience.
I love how restrained the vibrato is. It makes such a clearer and piercing sound, like the scream of a betrayed lover. This restraint makes this my preferred interpretation.
I think it sounds great because of the church acoustic environment
Am quite thankful nobody sings Renaissance and early Baroque music like its Romantic Italian opera 😭
Castlevania Nocturne introduced me to this beautiful aria
Haven’t stopped singing since I CASTLEVANIA NOCTURNE episode 4. Absolutely love this song.
That demon in the cell Edourd is symbolic of everyone who’s ever chosen to be a light in a dark place rather than succumb to circumstance.
And all that, the backdrop to an absolutely fantastic fight sequence. I was like wtf - this anime touches my soul. Lmao. It's been some time I enjoyed something so thoroughly as this.
This performance is awesome. Even better than other versions I've heard from women singers. Props to all the musicians in the video.
The song was written by a man
Anyone else here from the Castlevania nocturne trailer and after being told the name by Oroburos’s guitar cover?
Flawless performance of this technically challenging piece.
I'm forever amazed at the sophistication of the four hundred-year-old music of Claudio Monteverdi and Felice Sances.
This version of the 'Lamento' sang by a man is better than some other ones I heard on RUclips sang by a female soprano.
It was written by a man
Back in those days only men were allowed to perform on stage, so it makes sense that this sounds better with a male voice. It was first written with that in mind, I’m sure.
sem palavras para esse cara, na boa só agradecer a primorosa produção de Castlevania de achar essa preciosidade e apresentar para o mundo.
Linda demais! Sensível demais! ❤
I morn for the souls that can sit with this song in a dark, quiet, hidden space and still not get their eyes to water 😢
«Amor», decía, deteniendo el pie,
mirando el cielo,
«¿Dónde, dónde está la fidelidad
que el traidor me juró?»
Pobrecilla, no puede más, ay,
ya no puede soportar tanto sufrimiento.
«Haz que vuelva mi amor
tal como antaño fue,
o déjame morir, para que
no sufra más.
No quiero ya que él suspire
sino estando lejos de mí,
no, no quiero
que me dé más dolores.
Pues el saber que por él ardo
satisface su orgullo,
quizá, quizá al alejarme
él, a su vez, empezará a rogarme.
Si ella tiene para él más serena
mirada que la mía,
sin embargo no alberga en su seno
un amor que sea tan fiel como el mío.
Ni tendrá nunca
besos tan dulces de esa boca,
ni más tiernos, ay calla,
calla, él bien lo sabe.»
Así, entre amargas lágrimas,
llenaba el cielo con su voz;
así en el corazón de los amantes
el amor mezcla el fuego con el hielo.
The words are beautiful in any language, language of love.
You all here from nocturne
Yep
This is absolutely beautiful! Like many people Castlevania introduced to this piece i love operas but this hit the heart hard!
I Pray for you Ritcher Belmont...
Usually, I listen to pop music, but this hits my emotions differently. I love it.
Now there is no way back.
And down the rabbit hole you go

@@calinguga the original score doesn’t “sound” like anything though, right? Or did I misread that
Interesting. Never heard the nymph sung by a sopranist before. Haunting timbre.
How about a wookie?

@@Karlito1118 That was fantastic! Genius.
One day I'd like to hear it sung by a tenor
This voice is amazing!🤩😱
How to convert people who don't like baroque music
Brute force
Castlevania brought me here... This is so enchanting and emotional and beautiful!
Wow, I've only heard this song performed by a female voice, but this man's voice, his masterful control are just amazing. Of course, I loved the tenors as well. Very touching and impactful interpretation! Thank you.
I pray for you, Richter Belmont.
Listening to this made me tear up spontaneously. So much painful languishing. Doron Schleifer is incredible.
Hands down, this performance of the Lamento is brilliant! Thank you so much for uploading, Elam!
Eu nunca chorei só por escutar uma musica, essa foi a primeira vez, sem palavras!
This is what I’m talking about. I love culture. You never know what’s out there and when you experience it, it’s beyond simple words.
Doron Schleifer , your voice is amzing, magic Grazie mille

PUTA QUE PARIUUUUU!!!!! Ouvi em Castlevania e pensei "Tomara que tenha no RUclips" to todo arrepiadoooooooo!!!! kkkk 😍😍😍😍😍
Thats so good
Wow. Such a clear and expressive countertenor.

Me morí de amor
Este Monteverdi es grande !!!!!!!🥰😍
I have never been punched in the gut by such beauty before ❤
I do love him. Just amazing greeting from Chile 🇨🇱.

From Castlevania
Castlevania Nocturne ❤
In awe.
Exquisite! It was probably one of the pieces that caused good old Artusi enraged.
Such deep sadness captivates my heart and soul bringing tears to my eyes. Such beauty words cannot describe, I am broken.
Sends chills down my spine. Wonderful interpretation.
Like a lot of us castelvania nocturne bring me here😂 I love the song so much and im happy the melancoly and the sadness i felt listening goes with the traduction ❤
Wow guys!!!
Beautiful! Just watching this makes me feel better about my own higher pitched voice.
Someone please tell me where I can find more music like this 🙏
i love this piece so much and somehow the substitution of the soprano with a sopranist queers the baroqueness of the music
I have rarely heard something that beautiful. I am speechless. Thank you for so much beauty.
I woke up out of my sleep when I heard this playing in a movie, had to find the baroque. Woke up the next morning looked at the sunrise and played this. Cried heavily
Doron's voice is magical.
Thank you Edouard from Castlevania.
The most beautiful version I’ve heard. Thank you so much
Será que tem mais algum br que veio parara aqui depois de muita luta procurando a musica do trailer do Castlevania? kkk
😂🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
El canta la canción original de Eduag??? En la serie de Castlevania? Por que si es así canta igual 🥺❣️
Oh wow. Unusually flexible and dynamic male soprano.
this is a beauty❤❤❤❤
1. This guy opens his mouth and angelic music flows from him. Dude can burp and sound comes out.
2. Thank you castlevania for introducing some of us to this. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Que increíble, como imita la voz de una mujer, que hombre tan talentoso.
I literally cried while watching and reading the music BEAUTIFUL Thank you
Absolutely the best interpretation ever!!
This is so beautiful
IMPRESIONANTE!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
beautiful
I love the affects to the solo voice, they almost sound modern! But coming from you guys, I know that it’s been researched and I’d historically informed 😁
Awesome "Ninfo"
I see what you did there.
This is so good, tears are coming out of my eyes. That reminds me to listen this masterpiece on my studio headphones.
Incommentabile, solo tantissimo amore. Grazie ❤
Like all the glorious edifices erected in Italy, its composers also kept abreast with the 'Zeit Geist' and what music they turned out! Thanks to the RUclips & consummate performers such as this ensemble, they have a deservedly wider audience.
Exquisite performances. But the soloist's singing... 💎
Bravo!👏👏👏
This man has the voice of a god
Such a melancholy and bittersweet music and yet this gives me such life, I enjoy opera anyway but thank you to Castlevania nocturne for pointing me to this beautiful peice of music that makes my soul vibrate in its Harmony. The artist is truely transcendent in their performance, this is a song the world needs.
Hanno fatto bene a tagliare l'ultima strofa. Xd
The voice of Angel ❤❤❤😮😮😮😢😢😢
Wow!!!! That countertenor is amazing, such a delicate and powerful tone and such compelling expressive choices. Well done. Where's the lute player? Is that a theorbo?
These men are so beautiful
Such a great interpretation of one of my favorite Monteverdi works.
I was here when it had 110k views.. will still be here when it reaches a billion views
Mesmerising, beautiful, haunting...
Awesome!! Marvelous!!!
Wow just wow!
The sadness and pain he projects is so profound when he sings this
