Ogni vento from the opera Agrippina, HWV 6 by George Frideric Handel +••.••(...)) Lorraine Hunt, mezzo-soprano Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra Nicholas McGegan, conductor Ogni vento ch’al porto lo spinga ben che fiero minacci tempeste, l’ampie vele gli spande il nocchier. Regni il figlio, mia sola lusinga, sian le stelle in aspetto funeste, senza pena le guarda il pensier. Whatever wind blow him to port, no matter how fiercely threaten the tempest, the mariner spreads wide his sails. If my son reign, my one hope, let the stars show however dismal an aspect, yet will I look on unconcerned. Handel’s first Agrippina was the great Italian soprano Margherita Durastanti (active 1700–1734). This recital disc is to devoted to arias written for her: (http•••) Art in the video by Christian Schloe (http•••)

Fiamma bella ch’al ciel s’invia from the cantata Aminta e Fillide, HWV 83 by George Frideric Handel +••.••(...)) Lea Desandre, mezzo-soprano Le Concert d'Astrée Emmanuelle Haïm, conductor Fiamma bella ch’al ciel s’invia, s’Euro infido gli nega affetto, cangia a forza l’usato sentier. Così ancora, se cruda, se ria te discaccio da questo mio petto, volgi altrove l’amante pensier. The lovely flame which rises to heaven should the wayward east wind deny it achievement must change its usual path. So also, if harshly and cruelly I drive you from my heart, your loving thoughts should turn elsewhere. Aminta e Fillide is one of only seven cantatas that Handel composed for more than one singer. It was almost certainly written for the first meeting of the Arcadian Academy in 1708, the performance taking place in a suitably pastoral setting, the gardens of Italian arts patron Francesco Maria Ruspoli. One of the roles was likely sung by Margherita Durastanti, a favorite singer of Handel's. It sits squarely in the pastoral tradition with a shepherd, Aminta, who woos and eventually wins (something unusual in these cantatas that are more often about unrequited love) the shepherdess Fillide. Handel often reused music from these cantatas, since they were for private performances and not published. This aria, for example, was repurposed as Agrippina's Ogni vento (also for Durastanti) a year later.

HWV 171 were copied in May 1707 for Marchese Ruspoli, Handel's most important patron in Rome; they are the first items in the Ruspoli archive to mention Handel's name. The singer was almost certainly Margherita Durastanti, a soprano with whom Handel was to have a long and profitable professional relationship. She sang in a number of his operas in London. The anonymous text tells of a woman rejecting a fickle lover; a refreshing change from the usual expressions of confused or hopeless love to be found in such works." - Robert Hugill "Unusually, the cantata opens with a delightfully garrulous instrumental introduction - possibly intended to express the 'brio' which Fileno says he admires so much in the woman. The work also ends with a novel touch - a miniature aria with a butter-wouldn't-melt-in-my-mouth sort of tune in which the singer finally and unsentimentally dismisses the philandering Fileno with a flea in his ear." - Simon Heighes / Recitativo Tu fedel? tu costante? Ah! non è vero. Tu usurpi ingiustamente titoli così belli, empio Fileno! Tu fedel, cui scintillano nel seno sempre nove faville? Tu costante, ch'il cuore vanti diviso in mille parti e in mille? Incostante, infedele, traditore! Questi, Fileno, questi giusti titoli sono e pregi tuoi, onde superbo ir puoi spergiuro, menzognero! Tu fedel? tu costante? Ah! non è vero. Aria Cento belle ami, Fileno, e poi vanti aver in seno un costante e fido cor! Stolta è ben colei che crede ch'in te sia costanza e fede, empio, infido, mentitor! / Translation (by Elin Manahan Thomas, slightly edited): Recitativo You, faithful? You, constant? Ah, that is not true. You claim such noble titles unjustly, evil Philenus! You, faithful, in whose breast there is always a new fire burning? You, constant, who boast that your heart can be divided into a thousand pieces and more? Inconstant, unfaithful, traitor! These, Philenus, these are the correct and true titles for you, and yet you walk around proudly as a perjurer, a liar. You, faithful? You, constant? Ah, that is not true! Aria You love a hundred beauties, Philenus, and then boast that you have a constant and faithful heart! Foolish is she, who believes that in you resides a constant and loyal love, O wicked lover! / Eser.
