Hasse - Artaserse "Pallido il sole" Andreas Scholl.
Johann Adolph Hasse Artaserse, "Pallido il sole" Artabano's aria Thanks as always to MehdiCaps for his help in editing the score. This recording: From the album Heroes Andreas Scholl The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Conducted by Roger Norrington Artaserse is the name of a number of Italian operas, all based on a text by Metastasio. Artaserse is the Italian form of the name of a Persian king, Artaxerxes. The libretto was first set by Leonardo Vinci in 1730 for Rome. It was subsequently set by Hasse in 1730 for Venice and in 1760 for Naples, by Gluck in 1741 for Milan, by Graun in 1743 for Stuttgart, by Galuppi in 1749 for Vienna, by Johann Christian Bach in 1760 for London, and many other times. The text was often altered. Thomas Arne's 1762 Artaxerxes is set to an English libretto that is based on Metastasio's. The opera was famously performed in 1734 as a pasticcio, featuring arias by various composers such as Attilio Ariosti, Niccolo Porpora and Riccardo Broschi. It was in this that Broschi's brother, Farinelli, sang one of his best known arias, "Son qual nave ch'agitata". Original Text: Pallido il sole, torbido il cielo, pena minaccia, morte prepara, tutto mi spira rimorso e orror. Timor mi cinge di freddo gelo, dolor mi rende la vita amara, io stesso fremo contro il mio cor. Translation: Pale the sun and murky the sky, punishment threatens, death lies in wait, all inspires remorse and horror. Fear envelops me in icy coldness, sorrow makes my life bitter, I shudder at my own feelings.
