Soave sia il vento
Apr 10th, 2009 by oldfogey
Guglielmo and Ferrando have been summoned to war, leaving their sweethearts, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, at home and prey to the machinations of the world weary cynic, Don Alfonso. Mayhem ensues. But here, at this moment of innocence, the three of them stand and watch them sail away, across the Bay of Naples.
‘May the winds be gentle, and the waves be calm, and every element respond sweetly to our desires.’
The most sublime trio in all opera.
Lisa della Casa, Christa Ludwig and Paul Schoeffler.
