Mozart - Ridente la calma - Popp / Parsons

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Ridente la calma K.152
Lucia Popp
Geoffrey Parsons
Live recording, London, 1.III.1982
Ridente la calma nell'alma si desti;
Né resti più segno di sdegno e timor.
Tu vieni, frattanto, a stringer mio bene,
Le dolce catene sí grate al mio cor.
Ridente la calma nell'alma si desti;
Né resti un segno di sdegno e timor.

Every morning starting with cap of coffee and listening to most fascinating Lucia’s perfect singing of Mozart‘s aria.

Hard to have a bad day after that...

What a theft. Aria is from Mysivecek "Armida" (1799) Act III, scene 1 - Aria of Rinaldo, "Il caro mio bene"

​@UCixSyDkZPeVlZy2iP0u4TCQ By the way, early piano concertos, as well as Mozart's sonatas, are "copies" of German composers who worked in Paris (Amadeus stayed there for 15 months from June 1763): Hermann Friedrich Raupach (1728-1778), Johann Gottfried Eckard (1735-1809) , Johann Schobert (1720-1767, Leontzi Honauer (1730-1790)… ... Pasquale Anfossi "La finta giardiniera (1773)" becomes "Mozart's" La finta giardiniera "(January 13, 1775) .... "Don Giovanni Tenorio" by Giuseppe Gazzaniga (Giuseppe Gazzaniga, survey: 5.02.1787). "Don Juan"(survey: 29 October 1787). By evolution, grinding, Gacanigin's Don Juan became Mozart's Don Juan....

Mozart and Myslivecek were friends. Mozart performed some of Myslivecek's sonatas. He enjoyed this aria so much that he rearranged it for piano and voice with new words. This kind of thing was not uncommon at the time. Myslivecek conducted a performance of Gluck's Orfeo in which he inserted some of his own music.
