- Ah! spietato! e non ti muove
from Amadigi di Gaula, HWV 11 (1715)
George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
Sandrine Piau, soprano
Les Talens Lyriques under Christophe Rousset
Ah! spietato! e non ti muove
un affetto si costante,
che per te mi fa languir!
Ma crudel, tu non sai, come
fai sdegnar' un alma amante,
che tu brami di tradir….
No, non sai.
Ah, cruel one! And you are not moved
By such faithful affection
That makes me languish for you!
But, pitiless, you do not realize that
You scorn a loving soul,
Whom you wish to betray.
No, you do not know.
This role of Melissa was created by Elisabetta Pilotti-Schiavonetti (c. 1680-1742). Three of the roles that Handel wrote specifically for her were sorceresses, and the demands of those roles indicate that she possessed an exceptional voice capable of both dramatic power and technical agility.
en.wikipedia.o...
"The libretto, probably by Nicola Haym, was based on a French model, originally set by André Destouches in 1699. Like Rinaldo, it has a prominent role for a jealous sorceress, Melissa, who is determined to destroy the liaison between the hero Amadis and his beloved Oriana. Melissa is not portrayed as wholly evil, but as a woman torn between a genuine but unrequited love for Amadis and a desire to punish him for rejecting her. Her dilemma is immediately apparent in her first aria ‘Ah! spietato’. In the slow main section the anguish expressed by the vocal line is poignantly echoed by a solo oboe. The mood turns to anger in the fast middle section, after which the return of the main section is especially heartrending-a fine example of the da capo principle being used for dramatic effect."

@@JeffreyStivers Me too, I heard her live back in the 90's in Handel's Scipione at the Beaune Baroque Music Festival. She really amazed the audience performing the role of Berenice. Recently heard in one of her interviews this was that production that initiated her Handelian journey. Glad I was there.
@@malcolmxy3971 Lucky you! I've never had the fortune to hear her live, but I have seen her in many filmed performance, and I own many recordings with her, including the recording of Scipione. It's cool to learn that this is what initiated her Handelian journey.

Brava! Beautiful!
The Spanish explorers and conquistadors of the New World knew the Mediaeval proto-novel on which the storyline of this opera was based and the words "California" and "Patagonia" were derived from imaginary places mentioned in this work -Lully and others had already written operas using this story.
Super
Indeed. I’m very fond of her singing, and she is well represented on my channel.
