This da capo aria is not a true A-B-A recording: my MP3 file lacks Cesare's line following part B, and the repeat is missing altogether, along with the anticipated, additional vocal interpretation and ornamentation. I have not found a complete recording of Troyanos in Giulio Cesare on CD, DVD, or LP. I have complete recordings by other performers that include interesting da capo ornamentation; however, Troyanos' voice seems to be the most intriguing. I, therefore, have added the first part A to the end to round out the aria. If anyone locates a complete recording, please inform me; and I shall remove this video and replace it with the better audio track. Thank you.
George Frideric Handel: Giulio Cesare, Cleoptratra: V'adora, pupille.
Tatiana Troyanos, mezzo-soprano.
V'adoro, pupille,
saette d'amore,
le vostre faville
son grate nel sen.
Pietose vi brama
il mesto mio core,
ch'ogn'ora vi chiama
l'amato suo ben.
(Cesare's line omitted; da capo)
Eyes, I adore you,
Arrows of desire.
Your glances
Delight my heart.
My yearning heart
Begs you for mercy.
Ceaselessly, it declares
That you are its love.
(back to the beginning.)
